Are Auburn Fans the Gold Standard? Why the Tigers’ Loyal Faithful and a Tradition of Toilet Paper Might Just Redefine What It Means to Be a College Sports Powerhouse — And Why the Nation Might Be Ready to Crown a New King of Campus Culture
AUBURN, Ala. — When it comes to college sports, passion isn’t just measured in decibels or attendance figures—it’s measured in moments, memories, and traditions that stand the test of time. And at Auburn University, the spirit of the game runs deeper than the scoreboard.
With two major nominations now in the national spotlight—Best College for Sports Fans and Best College Sports Tradition for Rolling Toomer’s Corner—Auburn fans are once again showing the country why they belong at the very top of the conversation.
From Jordan-Hare Stadium’s earth-shaking roars to the sea of orange and blue that travels across the SEC and beyond, Auburn fans are widely regarded as some of the most loyal and enthusiastic in the nation. Rain or shine, win or lose, they pack the stands, host legendary tailgates, and proudly chant “War Eagle” as a symbol of unity and pride.
But what truly sets Auburn apart isn’t just the volume of its cheers—it’s the heartbeat of its traditions.
At the heart of that heritage is Toomer’s Corner, where generations of students and alumni have gathered after big victories to roll the famous oak trees with toilet paper—a quirky, beautiful, and utterly unforgettable display of joy and community. What began as a small-town celebration has become an iconic ritual that defines Auburn’s spirit—and it’s now nominated for Best Tradition in College Sports.
“It’s not just about the wins,” said one alumnus. “It’s about feeling like you’re part of something greater—something timeless. That’s what Auburn is.”
With voting now live, the university is urging all members of the Auburn Family to cast their votes and help secure both titles. Supporters can visit:

Whether it’s a Saturday at the stadium or a spontaneous roll at Toomer’s, Auburn’s traditions are more than symbolic—they’re generational. And in a world where college sports is becoming increasingly commercialized, Auburn stands as a reminder of what truly makes the game beautiful: loyalty, tradition, and unshakable community.
So the question now isn’t whether Auburn deserves these titles—it’s whether the rest of the country is finally ready to recognize what the Auburn Family has always known.
