Don’t underestimate the power of the banner. This article is classic.

No fan base, regardless of era, had ever orchestrated a banner-flying effort as concentrated and sustained as Miami's against Al Golden. Message boarders flew their first anti-Golden banner before a home game against Cincinnati last year: "Fire Al Golden. Save the U." By now, they were flying the banners almost every week. Some were hopeful (if forgetful): "Make Miami great again -- Butch Davis 2016." Others were despondent: "C'mon, #FireAlGolden. These banners are getting expensive." Still, others showed the depths of their resolve. "I flew 1,124 miles," the banner read before a road game at Cincinnati this season, "just to say, #FireAlGolden." The Miami Herald called them "patriotically treasonous." Fans faced little dissent, though, inside their online forum, where they attributed no names to their ideas, only handles: The Wolf, BozCane, WhatTheHell. Twenty-one people donated to pay for the banner they planned to fly for the Clemson game.
