Anything will be better than the poor tackling technique they have been using.

something the Seattle Seahawks have implemented. when taught correctly it is safer and more effective.

Seahakws have consistently been either the top or top three defenses in the NFL year in year out since implementing these techniques. They don't seem overly complicated, just a change of pace. Good call.

Played rugby for several years, always told people football would do well to adopt the rugby tackle. You definitely don't go in with your head, like a dumb a$$, when you don't have a helmet. This should help prevent lots of unnecessary targeting penalties and head/neck injuries.

Have you ever seen some of the nasty wounds caused by Rugby? 70 stitches in a forehead. Just stick with what we do! It's football!

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.

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

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.
