The Toast Toss Needs Your Vote

 

Now you have the chance to show your love for the toast toss.

The tradition was one of 32 selected for SiriusXM College Sports Nation's "College Football Traditions Tournament," for which voting began July 1 and ends July 7. Penn is a No. 8 seed in the tourney, matched up against Florida State's Chief Osceola's Flaming Spear.

You can vote for the toast toss here and see the entire bracket here.

The toast throw has been a staple of Penn football games since the late 1970s, after alcohol was banned at Franklin Field. Back in October, I wrote two pieces on the toast toss, one which chronicled how DP alum Alan Schwarz helped save the tradition in 1988, and another noting longtime Franklin Field head groundskeeper Donald Kelly's perspective on the tradition.
