Banners Are Pointless....

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.

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.

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

You're right. I won't. I was just trying to give advice to what is the better route to accomplish your goal of at least getting maximum media coverage and possibly getting the minimal notice of the power structure within the administration. I'm not against you or whatever you want to do, I just think in the end none of this matters enough to the people that make the decisions in the Gables. I've already written my letters about not renewing seats and suspending any Hurricance Club donations and persuading everyone I know to do the same and even that I don't truly believe matters to anyone there. We're a school that doesn't care about public perception or the desire of the masses on things like this. We only move when one or two very influential people there say to move and their will seemingly is never influenced by any of us peasants.

That said, fly the banners. Get people to wear paper bags at the Pitt game. Get Pete Gonzalez and H.B. Blades to come to the tailgate as a good luck charm that we lose. Whatever. If someone else wants to take the lead on a billboard in an effort to put DiMare's name out there then I'll throw in some dollars. At a minimum it'll at least get seen or mentioned to him. That fraction of a second he has to think about his name being publicly connected to this mess would be at least a moral victory.

Ok, I will hold you to that if we get this thing started up
 
I don't know DiMare, but I'd have to think he isn't terribly happy with this **** show at this point. Humiliating him may not be the best move.
 
Hire some guys to sit in the parking lot of the Hecht with a sign that says, "Shame on UM for keeping Folden."

Not a fan of the banner but I live in Lexington, KY and they were talking about here on the radio the last time it was flown

Can't go the humilation route. That's how some people justify their disregard of any of this. Whatever is done in respect to mentioning specific people like DiMare would have to be done more in the spirit of appealing to them. These people wouldn't be moved in the slightest if you start blasting them like we're blasting Alfred. Like I said, we just don't have the power of the masses as a fanbase and have to kinda kowtow to the will of a select few. The mere fact that the majority of our fans don't even know who a guy like DiMare is also is a problem as these small group of people can control a lot of things without any public notice of them specifically as individuals. That's the only reason that I think a billboard referencing him would at least get his notice- albeit for probably only a second, which I'd sadly take at this point.
