About the Event

The 40th Annual Toilet Paper Game at John Brown University

What: JBU's Favorite Tradition: The 40th Annual Toilet Paper Game
When: Friday, Oct. 27. Tipoff is 7:00 p.m.
Where: Bill George Arena
Why: Once named "the best technical foul in sports" by USA Today and featured on ESPN, CBS Sports, Bleacher Report and FanBuzz, JBU's favorite fan tradition takes flight this Friday. More than 2,000 fans pack Bill George Arena for the season-opening basketball game, toilet paper in hand. When the JBU Golden Eagles score their first field goal, thousands of rolls of toilet paper stream through the air as fans celebrate and blanket the court with toilet paper.

For the seventh year, JBU will team up with Kimberly-Clark Corporation, who will donate 4,000 rolls of Cottonelle for the game. Fans bring a canned protein item to exchange for a roll of TP to toss, and the other 2,000 rolls will be donated, along with the canned food items, to the Manna Center, a local food bank in Siloam Springs.
