There really is no understanding of this activity. Especially the stories of how it "actually" started. Please try to explain it if you can- I am willing to listen.

They did something a lot of Auburn fans haven't seen in their lifetimes. Fine by me if you think it sad and weird. We don't consider it "trashing our own place." I don't expect you to understand why we do it.

Started when Toomer's Drugs had the only telegraph in town. It was said they would hang ticker tape after away wins. The toilet paper was said to have started after Punt, Bama, Punt. Y'all were number two at the time. Terry Henley said we were going to beat the number two out of you.

It really is fun. First I rolled them was after the 97 iron bowl. One of my favorite memories. It's one of those things where you can just turn the kids loose with a few rolls, everyone is in a great mood and has fun. My kids got to do it for the first time this past fall.

So this timed-honor tradition traces its roots to Alabama. Imagine that!

Since I was at the 1972 Iron Bowl, I won't be inclined to look on this type of littering favorably.

The other wins were at the club level not as a NCAA recognized team. So it's their first "official" win against Bama.

You're right. Time to start another streak!

Didn't realize those were club wins - thanks for clarifying. Even better, if they are officially 1-117 against is, that drops their winning percentage to 0.0087. Like it! RTR!

I would not expect anyone to understand why you would throw toilet paper all over the place.

But I guess you are not burning couches.....so I guess it could be worse.

Come on Pit....you know better than that, they got rid of the telegraph the year Pat Dye arrived..in 1981 he brought that new telephone gadget with him from Wyoming.....after making money off of his Charmin stock. Insider's trading at its finest!
