TOLEDO, Ohio – The University of Toledo made a big national splash on Tuesday, and not just because its football team defeated Buffalo to win its eighth-consecutive game in a Mid-American Conference midweek "MACtion" game that was broadcast on ESPN2.

The big story on social media was the "Touchdown Tank," an old-fashioned carnival dunk tank located in the southeast corner of the Glass Bowl field. After every touchdown, one volunteer takes the plunge into the tank, a new tradition that was started this season.

During the warmer games in September, there was no shortage of volunteers for the Touchdown Tank.
