The Auburn football team had a bye on Saturday, so there was no big game to be won.
Saturday night, however, one of the biggest Auburn traditions still took place, as local fans rolled Toomer’s Corner.
Why?
It was in celebration of the Atlanta Braves beating the Los Angeles Dodgers to advance to the World Series.

The Braves had entered the series as heavy underdogs against the defending champs but a 4-2 win in Game 6 was enough to send Atlanta back to the World Series for the first time since 1999.
Auburn fans are always looking for a reason to roll Toomer’s Corner and apparently this wasn’t the first time that the Braves had caused the celebration.
Toomers was rolled the night Atlanta won the World Series in 1995… and Auburn football lost that same night at Arkansas
