BREAKING Toomer's Corner rolling - the weird tradition resumes this fall...

[BamaNation]

The rolling of Toomer’s Corner is one of the nation’s top sports traditions,” Auburn president Christopher Roberts said. “Our fans have come together for decades on the corner of Magnolia and College to celebrate our big wins. In recent years, we continued our cherished tradition by rolling different trees, but I am very excited that the Auburn Family will once again be able to roll our most prominent trees.”

Let's roll: Auburn announces two main oak trees at Toomer's Corner can be rolled

After being planted in 2017, the two main oak trees at Toomer's Corner are ready to be rolled again.

Given it's "one of the nation's top sports traditions" here's hoping the trees continue to live a quite, peaceful, un-rolled life for many years to come.

Only topped by the Dumping of the Port-O-Potty.

why don't auburn fans just toilet paper their own house and front yard if it is such a fun thing to do in celebration?

Even WVU fans think it’s a lame tradition, and they light couches on fire…

When I was in law school at WVU someone's car was collateral damage from a couch fire gone wrong after the 'Eers beat Miami.

But the mullets look similar.

So happy for them.

By the way, wasn't the rolling and subsequent removal method of the tissue slowly killing the original trees?

Yea, I saw this earlier and just laughed. Barney's president is the one that proclaims "The rolling of Toomer’s Corner is one of the nation’s top sports traditions" which makes it self proclaimed utter nonsense.

Think you are on to something. Maybe they should revert back to egging the library or trenching the barnyard or something.

Both coloring books ? That's almost updike-like.

I tried explaining this bizzare ritual to a non-football non American person and he looked at me like I was crazy and thought I was making it up.

 

[Tidelines]

Yeah they haven’t been needed for several years now.

Pretty normal reaction, really

Yeah makes perfect sense, right? We are killing the trees by rolling them, so let’s give them a break, then go back doing it some more and finish the job. After all it is a “tradition”. A tradition kind of like the “tradition” gastrointestinal issues after eating 7/Eleven roller food……

“The rolling of Toomer’s Corner is one of the nation’s top sports traditions,” I am sure this is right up there with the dotting of the “i” at Ohio State, running through the T at Knoxville, having the white outs at Happy Valley, playing “between the hedges,” playing at night in Red Stick, and other famous college football traditions. It is amazing to me just when you thought that they could not get any more stupid…

This brings to mind a line by mad King George in Hamilton ...

"I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love."

AU fans are not using toilet paper for other more sanitary reasons, they figure let roll the trees.

But AU you do you while the rest of the CFB world laughs at you.
