After the third quarter of every football game, students sing a song which ends with the line, "Here's a toast to dear old Penn." Back in the day, Penn students used to drink alcohol after singing that line, but many years ago the administration clamped down on the practice. As a protest, Penn students threw actual toast on the field, and the tradition continues to this day.
