Toomerโs Corner has long been a sacred site for Auburn fans โ a place where victories are celebrated under a shower of toilet paper and Tiger pride runs deep. But this week, it wasnโt just a celebration โ it was history in the making, and two football icons helped lead the charge.
Eli Manning, the two-time Super Bowl champion and Ole Miss legend, joined forces with Bo Nix, former Auburn quarterback and current NFL rising star, in a one-of-a-kind event that saw Auburn attempt โ and successfully set a world record โ for the most toilet paper rolls thrown simultaneously at Toomerโs Corner. ๐๐งป
Yes, you read that right. What started as a fun, spirited idea quickly turned into a Guinness World Record event, backed by the university, fans, and the SEC Network. Hundreds gathered in downtown Auburn as the iconic oak trees stood tall, ready for the tradition to reach new heights โ literally and figuratively.
Eli Manning, known for his charisma and sense of humor, played host in a segment for ESPNโs โManningCastโ meets โPlaces,โ blending history, football, and fun. Bo Nix, who grew up steeped in Auburn tradition, brought the hometown energy, tossing a roll with the same precision he once used on game days in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The scene was electric โ laughter, cheers, flying toilet paper, and the undeniable bond of the Auburn family. Students, alumni, and fans of all ages joined in, their aim not just to break a record, but to celebrate the heartbeat of Auburnโs legacy.
And when the final count came in? Mission accomplished. A new world record was officially set, adding yet another unforgettable moment to the storied history of Toomerโs Corner.
This event wasnโt just about setting a quirky record. It was about community, tradition, and the magic that happens when college football legends return home. Eli Manning brought the charm. Bo Nix brought the passion. And Auburn brought the energy.
Toomerโs Corner has seen many celebrations, but this one was legendary. A world record. A Tiger triumph. And memories that will last a lifetime.
