I'm sure they can just start filling the balloons with hot air from Dirk Chatelain.

If this is true, than maybe it'll prompt the start of a new tradition.

It'll be a very sad day to see that tradition die. It's understandable, as the article mentions Hospitals and Construction as priority uses for Helium, which I agree with. But it will be a sad day, indeed.

Hopefully this TRADITION that dates back to the 1940's does not come to a permanent end!!

Just use regular balloons then. Or red paper airplanes.

I also was wondering how long it was going to take to have this tradition be affected.
BRM could start serving more chili at the HM tailgates and gas up the balloons from there?
I'm "N" if he does!
It's a great day to be a Husker Fan!

Nobody ever said those other uses for helium were stupid. Those other uses should have priority.
The state, team, and fans love there football traditions is all, and balloons fall into that category. Just like the debate of using alternate uni's for 1 game. Its all about tradition.

The balloon 'tradition' should be ended due to pollution/wildlife concerns.
However, where is the national coverage on this helium shortage? How are we going to talk funny if there is no helium to be had? What happened to our strategic reserves?
The presidential candidates better address this soon! Are other noble gases in short supply? We can't go on without Argon!

"I love it here," Pelini said. "I've said this before: This is not a steppingstone job. This is a destination. I enjoy what I'm doing here, I love who I'm working with, I love who I'm working for. I'm not looking for another job. I'm committed to winning a championship here. I'm passionate about winning a championship here."

(Last year, prices rose only 75 cents.) This price spike, along with uncertain federal policy (and a peculiar industry setup to begin with), is threatening to create a shortage. Here’s what’s going on.

Well, your little frownie face and desire to see a very limited resource used for something like that certainly implies a lack of perspective. Do you really believe it should be all about tradition when we are talking about this, cause I think it should be about using a very limited resource wisely.
