Toilet Paper

[Dub]

I have vague early childhood memories of a tradidion at BU (I htink) where everyone would stash toilet paper rolls and shower the floor at the first bucket. Who on this board can confirm or deny this, and does anyone have a photo relative to this?

I was telling a friend this at work and he didn't believe me, but I think I'm right. I remember technicals being assesed. Thanks.

I have heard this and it must have been before the 1960's as I have seen many games from the mid-60's on and have never witnessed it happening..

Seen many a game, but never saw anything like that.

I seem to remember Pitt throwing tp on the floor after the first made basket and perhaps Notre Dame???? I don't remember seeing this at Bradley. Maybe AFTER a big win but not after the first point.

I thought I remembered a few rolls being tossed at games in the Feildhouse. I can't remember who it was, but I remember a big man fouling out and someone tossing some TP that camed down right by him. He ripped at it as he walked to the bench.

I think it was a Tulsa Center. It was around the time of Benoit Benjamin or a little earlier. But I don't think it was him.

I love the idea of having traditions like that. Doesn't have to be TP, but stuff like UNI's interlude dance and Taylor's Silent Night are not only great for the illusive "increasing student interest," but are pretty cool too

It happened at a few local high schools back in the day, then the threat of a technical foul ended it pretty quickly.

How about releasing courthouse pigeons with school-color streamers attached to their legs? It happened at Robertson, during a sectional game in which I was involved, back in the mid-fifties. The pigeons ended up with the best seats in the house up in the rafters of the Fieldhouse. And the perpetrators are still at large.

actually on this topic...does anyone ever go to the PJS web site...?

I virtually never do unless I want to see the actual quote of something said..
IO have never been to any web site - none anywhere in the entire cyberspace that crams so many "cookies" and forces you to see so many pop-ups and ads as this site does...
do they realize how cheap and trashy they look doing this??

They have gone overboard with greed trying to make money no their site - no wonder nobody ever goes there...

I do to keep up on local news and development (Hotel, goings ons, etc.) since I"m out of town, but when I'm in town pretty much never. The only good thing that the Journal Star has (for me) is local development stories which haven't been much recently. The pop ups, charges, and toll it takes on my bandwidth are ridiculous. I can go to FoxNews or the Wall Street Journal website and it doesn't affect me as much or bombard me with adverts.
