The Commode Bowl--A Toilet-Themed Football Tradition

VCHS TV reports that it all began in 1948 in the town of Dunbar, West Virginia. Two neighborhoods represented by two amateur football teams, the Riverside Rats and the Hillside Rams, wanted to prove which was the tougher of the two. On Thanksgiving Day, they squared off in a pads-free tackle game.

These days, the rivalry is more friendly and the event is far more than just a game. The Commode Bowl, as the game is called, is preceded by a parade with floats and vehicles decorated with toilets, toilet paper, and toilet plungers.

This year, the Rams prevailed and carried off the trophy after a final score of 28 to 6.
