Give Auburn Softball Credit for Promotion Originality

After their game with USC Upstate yesterday, Auburn held a "Softballs from the Sky Event" where a helicopter hovered over the softball field and they set a "world record" for the most foam softballs dropped from a helicopter. They invited kids 4-15 to be on the field during the event. Video in the link. Can you imagine someone suggesting this idea to the VT Administration???

We could have people "sponsor" a ball for a minimum $ amount.

It'd take a $100K security fence

Whit--Why foam softballs, why not turkeys!**

Because turkeys didn’t go well on WKRP in Cincinnati**
ginnyhokie1 • 03/02/26 11:30 AM ET
Foam turkeys taste terrible. Might as well be tofu.**
TomTurkey • 03/02/26 10:25 AM ET
