      This is my plan for the next super bowl. I just need someone with a ticket to create a diversion, maybe fake a seizure or point away from the field and say "OMG, everyone, quick, look over there!"

    I have made a number of jumps with the 101st at Ft. Campbell and while they are Air Assult they still have Airborne troops. Many of the 101st guys I knew were all Airborne Qualified.
    The approach to the field clearly shows this trooper's professionalism and my Green Beret is of to you Sgt. Sniffen. AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY.

      The reason for not letting the flag touch the ground is to protect it from being soiled or damaged. Merely touching the ground momentarily doesn't mean the flag has been disgraced or defiled.

    @MCsonnyNR1
    Michigan's "Go Blue" is because of the schools colors Maize (Yellowish Corn color) and Blue. "Go Blue" is the traditional rally cheer like the banner the players jump and hit before every game.
    They probably used Yellow (Maize) smoke because it would appear better in the sky so the crowd would notice him sooner. Most of the over 110,000 people that go to Michigan games wear mostly Maize as well. The student section you can see on the left is almost 100% Maize every week.
