Post by: Legend on November 06, 2015, 05:46:19 am
I just seen JBU toliet paper tradition on ESPN. It was the first time I have seen this and I thought it was pretty cool. Can anyone give me details about what the tradition is about and when it started?

It has been a tradition for 35 years or so. The fans will stand and be quiet until the first points of the season at home are scored then it happens 2,300+ rolls of toilet paper goes flying. I witnessed it in 2011 when crowleys ridge college played there it is really cool and was something fun to be apart of.

So why didn't you put it under General Sports or SEC for that matter?  I would've put it under the Clemson Thread, since they're about the same.  On a sports show today they were talking about how Clemson absolutely can not stump their toe.  Said the ACC is so bad, they might drop from the Top 20 with just one loss.

That wouldnt be the case if we had a television network owned by ESPN either.
