My daughter had a great idea for gameday

JETPACKS FOR SCRAPPY!!!

He could fly around the stadium and drop t-shirts!!!

My 9yr old mentioned it and I about fell out of my chair.

According to Wikipedia one can be had for a measly $200,000.

Pfft. With our fundraising skills this is a no-brainer. Think of the publicity!!

Not white t-shirts please. I don't want it to look like we are being crapped on by our own mascot.

I like the idea, but me thinks that would be an insurance nightmare for the University.

WOW! what a great idea from a 9 year old girl. I hope you gave her lots of praise for coming up with the idea. We need a lot more little girls like her who are thinking in terms of jet packs rather than princess stuff.

A couple of years ago I saw the story on this local invention....

I e-mailed the inventor and suggested that a great publicity stunt for his product would be to land in the middle Fouts field and deliver the game ball for one of our home games. I told him that it would be great pub for both him and the University. He e-mailed me back and said that he too thought it was a great idea, and that it would be doable, but FAA rules prevent such a thing (a motorized aircraft landing in the stadium with people in it) from happening.

Oh well.

Good stuff Silver. I just think we underestimate the value of Scrappy with the kids that come to the games. All of my kids go bonkers when he comes by and making him more a part of the game day atmosphere would be a great thing. So maybe not a jetpack but we could get creative in many different ways. I love the way Scrappy is at the bball games, he needs to do more of that at the FB ones as well.

I've always thought Scrappy should parachute in with the game ball after the National Anthem.

Hope he waits until the bridge is completed.
