Hello FRiend! I think I can remember to do that Jemian. WAR EAGLE!

I saw the crew in Phoenix, a year ago in Feb., but they were swamped with fans before the rally and I went inside instead of getting in the line to meet them.

RSBN would often show on their website a street cam view at a major intersection in Auburn, caddy-corner to the campus.

That would be Toomer's Corner, the center of town where the city and campus meet. We have a fun tradition there. Any time we beat Alabama, even in the Engineering Egg Drop contest, we all will gather there and have a street party, rolling (with toilet paper) all the trees, street lamps, signs, etc. Someone once said to me, "why would you vandalize your own town?" But, it isn't vandalism if you own it, plus, we're not destructive, just having fun.

That tradition began in 1972. I remember because I was in the band. At that time, the Iron Bowl was held in Birmingham because they didn't want to come to Auburn. Our busses would load and unload on College Street, one of the two which formed Toomer's Corner as the Band Room was in one of the nearby buildings. The game ended with a beautiful fourth quarter when we got a gift from heaven, blocked two of their punts and each was run in for TDs. The score ended, 17 - 16! It was always fun to come back to town after victories and we are still celebrating that particular victory (I broke up with my boyfriend that day because of that victory. He said we didn't deserve to win!) Anyway, as we were unloading the busses, the cheerleaders showed up. Spirits were still high although the game had been over for around five or six hours. We all started cheering, we put our horns together and played, and then, someone started throwing toilet paper. Oila! A tradition was born.

This picture was taken the morning after the National Championship in 2011. I was at that party.
