Don't be surprised if football jerseys contain marriage proposals and invite you to strip clubs next season.

OK, so maybe they won't, but a proposal banning advertising flights above stadiums nationwide that passed Friday will limit advertisers' gameday promotion.

President Bush will now decide whether or not to make the bill official, which would ban all advertising flights for one year over stadiums beginning an hour preceding and an hour after an event.

Unfortunately, the bill will pass, so we'll see MSU head football coach John L. Smith touting a Big Boy's ad on his back before Bush ends his anti-terrorist campaign.

Planes flying over Spartan Stadium were a threat long before Sept. 11, 2001 and Dubya. A terrorist doesn't have to be behind the controls for the plane to crash into the stadium - an engine just has to give out.

So why the ban now? No ad plane has caused any trouble, aside from spreading a little panic at the 2001 football game against Michigan, back when we used to score touchdowns against the Wolverines.

The government should look at this issue closer and take into consideration smaller security steps. For example, forcing the planes, which don't fly directly over the stadium in the first place, to circle Spartan Stadium at a farther distance.

The planes flying overhead gave fans a chance to propose to their loved ones, not crash into the 72, 027 Spartan faithful.

If the reasoning behind the government's ban on plane advertisements involves anti-terrorist tactics, Bush should re-evaluate his staff and its decisions.

If the reasoning stems from the university being jealous of the advertisers, who pocket all the cash, they should grow up.

The bottom line is this: We all need to step back and look at our reasoning on a number of things in these days of invisible terror - why are we flying planes over jam-packed stadiums to sell a lap dance anyway?
