Texas that. Sure, it's not the end of the world. But it's a cool and unique tradition. Kids in the stands hold the balloons... and after the first score, they're gone.The balloon tradition was just silly stuff, it was time for that to end. I've said that for years, but it was an old and tired "tradition" that needed to end. I know this wont be popular but I feel the same way about the balloons that some people feel about and detest the "Black" alt uni's and the tunnel song. I like the black alts and the tunnel walk song, don't care about the balloons at all.
Jump Around, wave your shoes, your car keys, loose some balloony's, weeee..... Just kidding but if that is Nebraska's big tradition, that's kind of telling, maybe, about something or another. LOL. Balloons are cool and all, but it never did much for me other than damn right we scored.Texas that. Sure, it's not the end of the world. But it's a cool and unique tradition.

There was talk last year about replacing it with "waving a towel" after the first score. How stupid is that? What are you supposed to do with the towel after the first score?
I would challenge anyone to come up with a tradition that's as unique. The B1G even uses it as an identifier for NU in their commercials.
We need us some long strings tied to the balloons and a few Big Red drones with grabbers......Texas that. Sure, it's not the end of the world. But it's a cool and unique tradition. Kids in the stands hold the balloons... and after the first score, they're gone.

Hate it when that happensI think my vote is do it one game a year. Make them a lot more expensive and have proceeds benefit Team Jack.
Last time I checked, I don't get a vote. oh well.
Just curious, what would you like to fill the whoopee cushions with?How about we fill whoopee cushions instead of balloons?
Hold onto them until end of game, then after the loss, let them all rip at the same time
