BREAKING Toomer's Corner rolling - the weird tradition resumes this fall...

After the insanity of the 2020 tp shortage, I figured this would no longer be permitted under ANY circumstances. I know that this is the barn and all, but did 2020 teach them nada?
As I remember it, growing up in a community when someone got their "yard rolled" felt as if it was a sign of being popular. Not in the sense you rolled a hated teacher or principal's yard, but there was a sense that people kinda like you and you'd feel you're cool if you get your yard rolled.
This explains why Barners roll their own yard.

Cults generally have traditions or rituals that make little or no sense. And they love to throw around “family” and “us against the world” notions.
Reason I see the Barn as less of a “fanbase” and more “cult” in their behavior.

Yep. I have several family members who went to the Barn. Sure, I love them, but they’re weird…
Yeah I have two kids that are Barn grads and are married to Barn grads. Three of them are “rational” most of the time (notice I said “most”). My son in law delusional in terms of his fandom.
From my perspective every school in major college football and/or basketball, has their "cultic" fans. Even UA if you look hard enough (blasphemy!) Some schools have more than their fair share -- UTennessee, AU, UGA, MSU (cowbells), and UF. Traditions are one thing...ritual/cultic behavior quite another. Most of those who are "cultic" get their primary sense of identity from the cult. This explains how otherwise rational people can act irrational in given situations.
Our cultish behavior is we expect to win every game and kinda act crazy/spoiled when we don't!
Blue font, but it's true too!

Haven't read the thread, just posting this for our benevolent dictator:
have you considered disowning the whole lot of ‘em?
true but I‘m tired of the talk about conferences I don’t care aboutHaven't read the thread, just posting this for our benevolent dictator:
But I’m more than willing to get a dig in wherever possible for both!this is MY version of pre-season workouts
Why do you have a problem with men in overalls performing feminine gestures while encouraging others to put their arms around strangers to sway in cultish form???
It's worse than I thought if 10s of thousands come to that at midnight before a game!!!
That leg kick gesture...my word that is just...no words.
