Stop it with the environmental crap talk and bring back the balloons!!

Thomas Wright

Tradition !! It’s all part of the game and has been for so many years … HELL YES BRING IT BACK PERMANENTLY !!!!🎈🎈🎈 and GBR !!!

Wade Williams

We miss the balloons. Bring em' back!

Bruce Bredthauer

Because all that green woke bullshit is way overdone

Don Darrow

I love 🎈 like Penny Wise

Tom Cullinan

It is a unique tradition and raises a modest amount of money for the program. Besides, the new B1G ad still shows the balloons rising from the stadium and we'd hate to be billed for a redo.

Robert Lloyd

Tradition lives on and no intelligent person believes this is destroying the earth. Get rid of liberals not our balloons.

Doug Einsel

Have the cheer squad release at both ends of the stadium from large boxes/baskets.

Don Micki Boehm-Havern

Only if all biodegradable!

I am extremely concerned that some redwood owl or a spoon-billed sandpiper my try to eat the balloons and die. This is unacceptable. This may tarnish Big Red forever. I need a diet Squirt.

Rick Hazen

Maybe start a new tradition with the new coach and new team. Opponents have been complaining about the balloons possibly not being biodegradable so let's just change things and start something new

Joe Nigro

Environmentally irresponsible.

Steve Goertz

Let's start a new environmentally friendly salute.. .. red hankies.. red signs....

Richard Stotts

some traditions need to be changed, this is one. no balloons

Gary Williams

We have already broken the tradition. Let it lie and bring it back only for certain games.

Mike O

No. Celebrating a single touchdown as if it's some sort of win? It's a fun idea but it is littering and there should be other ways to celebrate the first touchdown. Dannen is just sucking up to the fans here. He wouldn't do this if he had to pick up the spent balloons.

Danny Purcell

taking full advantage of college rules

Ron Graf

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Too much hassle (200 miles away) for an unknown event.

Tom Cullinan

The event is a non-starter compared to the structure of actual plays and the support of young men working to find their place on the team.

Richard Johnson

No interest in 7-on-7.

Dan Larsen

Live in Dayton, Ohio! 800 miles one-way.... but I am a season ticket holder. See you during the season.

Ryan Goecke

If I want to see a carnival or a faire I'll go see one. This change shows fear of being a competitor on the part of Rhule and NU Athletics. It's embarrassing.

Dave Kapke

I live in Colorado

Kent Haynes

I can see both sides. But it is losing a tradition.

Bruce Craig

Losing the best recruiting tool of the spring and losing the money it would bring in is not smart in my opinion.

Robert Lloyd

It's not a game. This was our tradition. Not a good decision on Rhule's part.
