      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!"

    That was the best video I've seen in a long time. I don't think any of the 113K in attendance minded that it wasn't "perfect' to some who do this all the time. It was quite a spectacle, and thanks to the 101st for providing another great moment at Michigan Stadium.

    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.

    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.

    @Hiigara85 Football, in both Europe/UK (Football or "Soccer") and the United States (American Football), is called Football because it is played on foot, not because of the use of feet to kick the ball. This is in contrast to a game such as Polo, which is played on horseback.
    Also, the British coined the term "Soccer" as an abbreviation for someone who participated in Association Football (a player was an "asoccer"). The term is now used in the US, Canada, and Australia to distinguish it.

  • @wtcvideo
    @wtcvideo 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @pete5668: The altitude from which the jump is made is mostly irrelevant. It looks like he made a downwind landing -- both the canopy and the smoke blew toward him when he landed. It is possible that he might have stuck an upwind landing. It's also worth noting that winds inside of a stadium can get pretty squirrely; it's quite possible that the wind shifted or he caught a rotor on final. (Yes, I've jumped into stadiums. No, I never fell on a demo jump -- but it happens, and it's no big deal.)
