for a myriad of reasons. If people want to roll the dice on their money having a future effect at least within the media then go with a strategically located billboard with an intelligent/biting statement on 95 or near the school. You'd get 10000x the eyes for a month as opposed to flying something for 15 mins over a crowd of 20000 people tailgating. I'm sure the intelligentsia here could come up with a few good ideas as to the content to put on it.

Billboard was the original idea before we ever flew a single banner. Problem is it's much more expensive than a mere banner.
 
Theoretically a lot of people should have some disposable income floating around soon from the money they won't be spending on their season ticket renewals. Theoretically, of course.
 
Jesus this again.

They embarrass the administration and annoy the BOT....that isn't pointless. It calls public attention to something they don't want behind yelled about in the media.

Anyone saying they are pointless, for what we are trying to accomplish, is clueless.
 
Banners and billboards won't change anything. Stop going to games. Stop buying merchandise. That's the way to go.
 
Do anything to bring attention. Anything that embarrasses people is good. Call out trustees, admin and the president.

You don't understand saturation points then. You really think another banner gets the same play even within the local media? Doing the same **** over and over and expecting some great result should be a mindset left to our administration.

Step up and start the billboard cause. Orchestrate a kickstarter or fundanything campaign. Go get estimates as well. Stop complaining unless you're doing something to help.

LOL...I don't understand the situation.....OK.

I'm going to resist the urge and not call you names and make fun of you. The point is simple..you fly the banner, you stop going to games, you stop supporting the program. That way...not only does it hit their wallets...but it embarrasses them publicly and calls further attention they don't want.

If you can't reconcile that...then all I can say is I disagree. Like it or not...more banners are coming.

He won't. Don't you understand why he made this thread?

Calling out DiMare respectfully and publicly would get more of result (minimal or not) than a banner that seemingly is also a plug for WEZ. "We Deserve Better, Tomato King" on a billboard would at least get more powerful people's notice (again, minimal or not) than a banner that The Big O might mention in passing this time around.

Billboard is clearly the better idea. It's also way more expensive.

I'd contribute a lot of dough to a billboard with Shalala in her Grand Wizard whites and Fake James in his Grand Kleagle gear with Shannon next to them hanging from an indigenous tree with their arms around Folden, who is in Ped State apparel laughing.

Counterproductive, that is all I see. I am down for any cause that gets Al out. I don't care if it is banner, billboard, flaming bag of chit. We need to ALbort.

Again, go do something productive. Start the campaign or stop complaining.

No one aside from die hards around here has a clue who "tomato king" is.
