23. Roll Toomer’s Corner at Auburn

Auburn is home to one of the coolest post-game traditions in college football with the celebratory rolling of the oak trees at Toomer’s Corner.

The famous oak trees would get decorated with one roll of toilet paper after another as hundreds and thousands of Tigers fans would descend upon the popular area on campus after big wins.

Sadly, the trees were poisoned by Alabama fan Harvey Updyke after the Iron Bowl a few years ago after Cam Newton led Auburn to a comeback win against the Crimson Tide en route to winning the national championship.

Despite the trees needing to be cut down, the Auburn fans continued the tradition nonetheless by rolling the Toomer’s Corner oaks before they were removed and turned into sawdust. Two fully grown trees have since been planted to replace the famous oaks, and once again it has become a gathering place after an Auburn win.

Make sure you bring some Charmin and go to a game that Auburn should win so you can partake with the natives.
