Nebraska football suspending balloon tradition

Nebraska is suspending its tradition of releasing red balloons after the first touchdown of home games due to a global helium shortage.

www.espn.com

No big deal have you watched Nebraska play? They do not score very many points.

They should stop the tradition because it's horrible to release balloons, not because it's too expensive.

It's no ones fault, Helium is a non renewable element.
Except thru the decay of Uranium/Thorium which takes thousands of years..

A Nebraska season with balloons is better for football than no balloons.

They can just replace the helium w/ the hot air their Athletic Dept has been filled w/ since 1997; plenty of reserves there.

The time of the zeppelin has passed. I'm sure we'll be okay.

Never...

Never...

They recorded a second song?!!! I thought the only song they over made was Stairway To Heaven.

More importantly where is @Tad Footeball ?

I believe he frequents a Nebraska web site involving coeds.

The sun has more helium than we could ever use, let's just go there and take it, either at night or in the winter when it's not too hot

With all these sunshine pumpers and green new deal save the planet bullshvt, the very FIRST step we should take is banning releasing balloons, under any circumstances. Balloons do a million times more harm to marine life alone than plastic straws.

But it’s not about the environment and it never will be. It’s about who knows who and who’s wallet(s) it will damage.

Frequent?! I was an early investor! Got spooked though when unseemly allegations about roofies in Lake Havasu and Panama City were leveled. They were clearly coming from Joe Francis' camp but I digress.

Perhaps, we can get one of these:

You need to go sit in the corner and contemplate yourself - that's just - I can't even go there, man.

FROM HALF COURT

 

[CorniceCane]

Helium shortage has been in effect for a while now (3-4 years). I don’t know if the Russians have exacerbated it at all tbh. Anyone with kids getting balloons for birthday parties can relate when you spend a fortune on balloons that barely stay afloat the same day during the parties because Party City is mixing in more and more compressed air.

Spoken like a man who has a Ph.D. in environmental sciences. What a clown!
