Jmo I think trev conveniently used to helium shortage to make it appear he wasn’t bowing down to the radical environmentalists
No more balloons - a tradition dies

Yup just a supply chain issue. Who would of thought the second most abundant element in the universe would be so hard to get.
Whether you agree with them or not is a different conversation, but I wouldn't call anyone saying releasing thousands of balloons every week is not great for the environment a "radical" lol. It's actually a pretty logical stance. Clemson ended their traditional balloon release 5 years ago due to environmental impact. I think their program survived just fine in the aftermath.

If you throw a red balloon on the street it's called littering, If you send thousands in the air it's called tradition.
It seems like the only thing not in short supply these days is all the BS. That seems more plentiful than ever! Ha.
I don't particularly care one way or the other about keeping or ditching this tradition. TBH, I just want a competent product on the field.
Balloon tradition is almost as dumb as the one where people take off their shoes and wave them in the air. I just want to win games. Some nice tunnel music would be great too.
For the record, there's no shortage of helium. Wherever you find natural gas you'll find helium. It comprises between 3% and 10% of any discovered field. Helium extraction is not a profitable endeavor, therefore the gas companies disregard it. So if we don't piss it away on balloons, I am fine with that.
Stop at a party store and get one for your kid or MAYBE there'll be vendors that have them.
Thanks putin
Ours are biodegradable made from corn starch.....pretty sure
They definitely are, but people see that and envision them dissolving away at the next rain. Even though they're biodegradable, they can take anywhere from months to years to fully decompose.
I love that people are actually upset about this...
When Trev cut wrestling at UNO there was fake outrage, at least this is real outrage, stupid, but real.

You're either trolling or have no godly idea of what you're talking about if you think the UNO outrage was fake.
99% of the people that bitched about that had never attended a UNO wrestling event, ever.
I coached HS wrestling in the state and no one in was ever like "Oh man, wanna go watch the UNO wrestling team this weekend?"
Just like with their football team, even when they were good, everyone was in Lincoln for the Husker games.
I mean, any event in the state is going to be overshadowed by Husker football. That's not a fair comparison at all. I get what you're saying though. I think people were more outraged at how Trev cut the wrestling team, not just that he cut it.
Then ignore me. I'm responding with facts, and my opinion. I'm not name calling, or being derogatory towards anyone or anything.
Nobody cares how Trev cut wrestling and football at UNO.
Equating women and blacks being able to vote to balloons? Your 30 IQ is showing, bright boy.
I’ve probably attended over 200 games in my lifetime. Not once did I participate in the balloon tradition. I thought it was a neat tradition. Just wasn’t my thing.
I’m guessing this sounded better in your head.
Awesome definition, causing or inducing awe; inspiring an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, or fear: an awesome sight.
We'll agree to disagree on that.
They better not ban the tradition of sneaking in booze.
They should be handing it out these days.
I don't know. My bio degradable plastic sacks never made it out of the grocery store 🙃😉👌
I rather enjoyed the thought of the entire western half of Io_a choking on rubber shards They can’t resist anything red - just look around this message board….
Just like you stand until Nebraska scores in BB , way more dumber than the balloon release.
