Another old school tradition

[TravelingPanther]

Let's get some toilet paper going on TD celebrations!

If it's banned, find a way to sneak it in. I need to post some pics from the 90s.

Anything you can do to amp it up on Saturday!

[unigriff]

Need a beach ball also. Some of you may not remember the beach balls, could be a 70's thing.

hearing all these memories makes me wonder why I moved to Denver from Chicago (11hrs away isn't fun)

When I was at UNI, you were best planning to "pinch it off" on home football weekends, because there was going to be NO TP in the Towers on a Saturday afternoon. The dome was always quite the site after a TD...that should DEFINITELY come back.

I always thought that was due to people doing this on Friday nights and not getting the bathroom cleaned until Monday.

At least when I was in school, you could go to the bars on a Friday night and have a fairly singular experience. Still, I only remember having the TP problem on home football weekends, and not the others. Then again, this was still the era of not a role or two thrown, but a couple dozen.

So was it ever banned or did it just stop? Can we get an "official" answer?

[UNI Fight]

I was still a little guy growing up in the dome on saturdays but I can remember the toilet paper tradition and how awesome it looked when I was 8 and I still remember my mom turning around after a touchdown, we were in the front row, and got nailed in the face by a rogue roll of TP! She laughed it off, so great dome memory, but it DEFINITELY needs to come back, is it an NCAA rule, Gateway rule or UNI just stopped it?

[UNI MadCat]

Maybe I'm dreaming this up but I honestly thought I remembered them putting some sort of lock contraptions on the TP dispensers so you couldn't get the roll out as a method to stop this. Anyone else remember this??

Toilet paper HAS been banned since Rick Hartzell took over. That is straight from Hartzell himself. Something about seeing an old woman nearly knocked over or something when he started?!? I say do it anyways!

[DrewDog]

I agree with Hartzell. I do not think it should be done, except at the end of a game for a win. It delays the game and also in my opinion is bush league. If anyone saw last night's Rockies/D-Backs game with all the fans throwing crap on the field after a call they did not like, how is that different other than the intent is to be positive.

The difference is that the TP is thrown in the stands and not onto the field. That is a big difference. I say bring it back and try to keep it in the student section ONLY to prevent little old ladies from being knocked over. It was great when I was at UNI...and after I graduated started sitting on the west side, it looks really cool.

I remember it well and participated when I was a student. However, the TP often made it to the field. I remember TA once getting so pissed I thought he was going to come up into the stands.
