Bring the TP throwing back to the Dome

[merkpanthers]

I have been coming to UNI football games ever since I was in elementary school. Growing up only a half hour or so away from Cedar Falls I have many memories of the Dome. The son of my P.E. teacher was the TE when Warner was here so we came up to watch the games. I remember Warner and Shedd and Ward and countless other stars. Everytime UNI scored fans would start throwing toilet paper across the stands on both sides. It gives a cool visual effect and it's a great time.....if you get to throw some. Just a thought that we should bring back the TP toss to the Dome.

I made that comment during one point Saturda night and said that it's sad that tradition had to go away. It was a sight to see!

i was thinking about bringing some TP to some of the games and that is as far is it got.

I will see if i can get some cheap TP and throw it around for the game, Will they let me walk in with it in a bag?

One more thing about the security, while Im talking about it. The students who came without a shirt and their chest panted were REQUIRED TO PUT ON A SHIRT OR LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the H*&# is that?????????

That would be an unfair advantage. It would distract all of the SIU players!

BTW - They started cracking down on that in the late 90s. We used to carry in rolls from the dorms. But by the time I left you were having to sneak it in or try to take the rolls out of the bathrooms...

I was there the same time as you 95...At one point they started putting less TP in the dorm bathrooms on home game weekends, to keep it from disappearning, and went as far as to charge students caught stealing it.

Too bad, I forgot all about that, too bad the tradition went away.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! You've got to steal TP from the dorms and throw it onto the field during games. I just assumed this was common knowledge among UNI students. Come on, kids!

Keep it in the stands. When it ends up on the field, you get the referee's po'd, then you are looking at unsportsman like penalties. Remember the annoucement before every game, "fans caught throwing items onto the field...."

Good point.

I've been to practically every game for the last 16+ years, and I'm still a student. I think that someone (maybe as high as Farley or Hartzell) should make the TP tossing a legal event. I mean of all things that the crews pick up after the game, a few dozen rolls of toilet paper is the LEAST of their worries. If I may make a suggestion to anyone interested in starting this tradition back up; Angel Soft is fairly inexpensive and unrolls quite well. Double rolls would get a better unraveling effect and make longer throws more do-able in my opinion (speaking from years of TPing experience).

[RobFromCedarFalls]

i agree. I started going to games 15-16 years ago and i miss this greatly. it seems like it's end coincided with Dunbar's arival at UNI. (I hate Dunbar by the way). I always dream of the Dome returning to the way I remember it during our run with TA and I think Saturday was very nostalgic for me. If there would have been TP I would've sworn it was a memory from when i was 10.

[PantherPride2002]

tough stealing it from the dorms...pretty sure now all the hall bathrooms have the gi-normous rolls that you need a key get out.

[Born-a-Panther]

Yea and how about those big beach balls that always used to get tossed around??! Too easy to get those onto the field though... I agree -- bring back the TP, I miss it.

Speaking from much experience cleaning up TP out of our trees (one night entailed around over 100 rolls ) Wal-Mart brand must be very inexpensive and unravels very well. However, our experience was with single rolls only. I'm sure double rolls would be much more effective. Maybe Wal-Mart would cut you a deal if you told them what it was being used for.

Do it after the game if you want to stay for the whole game. I would say. But I'm a fan of doing it.
