To quote Bo Pelini; nothing is more demoralizing to an opponent that running the ball effectively

Between the 2 factors, it's the only 1 that we have any real control over.

We would have beaten MSU last year if we hadn't turned the ball over 5 times! That was due mostly to inexperience. It's somewhat different this year! Armstrong has been under fire and seems to be doing much better. He needs to stay calm. Our Players need to go into this game with a chip on their shoulder. We're NEBRASKA! MSU isn't any different than any other team we play! We need to dominate! Shove it right down their throat! Go Big Red!

Rushing yards won't be easy to come by - but they won't for MS either. Play mistake-free ball and we have a chance.

Haven't seen any team yet to win a game with multiple turn-overs.

Turnovers, usually a team that is +1 over their opponent wins. There is a NFL spreadsheet that is talked about on talk radio that has the exact stats. The gist is 90% of the time the team that doesn't turn the ball over and gains a turn over wins. NU needs no turn overs and MSU could help us out by having 2.

Without a doubt.... The rushing yards don't mater if we have a bunch of turnovers.... (see 2013)

A turnover can cancel the effect of many yards. Let's force turnovers while not allowing our own. Let the effect work for us.

Simplicity, if you can demoralized with turnovers and capitalize on opportunities, then the % chance of win increases.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
