re: Spin off: Why hasn't bama ever rolled toomers corner?

Either way, the original rolling was done over the utility wires downtown. When the wires were all moved underground (late 80s/early 90s) the only thing left to throw the TP on was the trees, and what better trees than those two large oaks at the corner.

In the 70's, the cops would stop people from rolling the trees, because drunk kids would often try to set them on fire. AU fans look at it as a revered tradition now, an event that people take their kids to. I don't think any real Auburn fan would ever consider doing something like that now.
