The Auburn Athletic Department has asked the Atlanta Auburn Club if we can organize another AUsome team to set up Auburn shakers in the Dome for the Kickoff game.

Keep the Winning Tradition Rolling with Toomer's Rolls!
It's Auburn's newest game day accessory! Toomer's Rolls, developed by an Auburn grad and her Georgia Tech pal from business school in Atlanta, are made out of soft "scarf like" material that will keep you wrapped in spirit whether watching the game home or away. Wrapped around replica cardboard toilet paper rolls, and featuring fine stitching that mimics toilet paper perforation seams- these scarves give a nod to Auburn's famous winning tradition while preserving the delicate Toomer's Oaks. But the best part is the price: $17.16 - an obvious nod to the score of the 1972 Iron Bowl (shipping included). Grab yours before the next AU game at www.toomersrolls.com and share in the winning tradition!
