Auburn fans have been rolling the trees at Toomer’s Corner since the time of the telegraph, so it’s no surprise many see it as a tradition that’s hard to top.
The rolling of Toomer’s Corner was voted the nation’s “Best Sports Tradition” by the USA Today/10Best Readers’ Choice travel award contest. The tradition involves throwing rolls of toilet paper onto the oaks at the intersection of College Street and Magnolia Avenue after huge moments for the school’s athletic programs, such as after Auburn football victories.
“The rolling of Toomer’s Corner is a cherished tradition that is unique to Auburn and is such an exciting and fun example of how Auburn fans far and wide come together as a family and celebrate the spirit and success of Auburn,” said Mike Clardy, Auburn’s assistant vice president for communications and marketing.
