At least one Nebraska resident would like to see the Huskers put an end to their long-standing tradition of releasing balloons into the air after the team's first touchdown.
Randall S. Krause filed a lawsuit against the university on Monday over the tradition, saying the red balloons pose a threat to both young children and wildlife after they fall back to Earth.
In a 14-page complaint, he also alleged the 50-plus year tradition basically amounts to "the open dumping of solid waste," which violates environmental laws.
