Students at Auburn University in Alabama invoked an old tradition this weekend after the Auburn Tigers beat the top-seeded University of Alabama Crimson Tide. When the game was over, football fans filled the Toomer’s Corner section of campus, and “rolled” every tree, building, and fixture with toilet paper.

School officials don’t seem to have much of a problem with the tradition, as it was commemorated on an official Twitter account.
