I wanted to wait for us to end the regular season losing to Duke for the 2nd push on this campaign. Billboard is severely underfunded despite losing to FIU. Perhaps this most recent loss will spur more to action. Chip in your savings on next years tickets and you can actually spend your money for the benefit of the program.
Billboard link, share everywhere:

The poll:
This poll will likely not be the only one, but assuming there is an overwhelming favorite and no amazing late additions I'd like this to lock up the
primary message. This is a billboard, so there has to be a clear and concise primary message. Accompanying text, details, and graphics will still be up in the air for discussion. "Fire Blake James" can be added to any of these, the choices in this poll is for the
primary message. For example my personal choice is currently:
U Should Be Ashamed
15 years. 0 ACC titles, one division title, one 10 win season.
UM 24 - 30 FIU

Should "U Should Be Ashamed" win, rest of the details could be debated and same goes for the rest. Note also that the polls will have a big influence, but I reserve the right to make final calls as I'll be weighing input from known donors more heavily and also factoring in my own judgement.
There have been many pushing me to include names of the BOT on the billboard. Firstly, this poll has nothing to do with that really. Names can be included for pretty much any of them if we want to really start calling out those at the top. Secondly however, I am not comfortable
personally putting any names on there besides "fire blake james". However, I would be fine with doing so if someone wanted to volunteer in putting the billboard under their name and assuming all the coordination work with me that that'd require, and potential legal risk (which is likely small, but still too much for me personally). So if this is something you really want work to find someone who's down to take on the work and responsibility, otherwise quit bugging me about it.
I'll be giving an update on monday regarding pricing and logistics as companies get back to me. If anyone wants to and can offer design help PLS PM ME.
