Hurricane Alumni on the banner...

[theibisrules]

Link?

I don't have a link to DBJ's radio shows, but he regurgitated the same comment that Porter tweeted and someone said that it sound like it was his original thought. It may not have been, but either way DBJ's support of that comment (whether his originally or not) is a misuse of the great story of Carter being around the team. I don't have archives of DBJ's broadcasts but many know him to be a Golden apologist.

To say that we should be spending our money to do good assumes that we don't already. That's like saying that none of us should be spending money to go to a sporting event when there are homeless children on the streets. Guess you (royal you) better give up those season tickets.

Honestly I don't think it's too far of a reach. Flying a banner strikes me as something that juvenile, self-centered folks who can't see the big picture would do. It's an ill-advised publicity stunt that doesn't really affect change.

IMO, that's at odds with the mindset of actually doing something to benefit others.

Difference of opinion. No one would/will ever put their own money into a product that is poor at best. Flying the banner let's the people in charge know that we will not support a sorry product at all. I own my own business, and could at any time write large checks to support the program I love. But, I will not support this poor product. As a business owner, I know my product will die off if I don't make the proper changes, that's all this fan base is asking the admin to do. If not, then I will go elsewhere with my dollars and so will the rest of the fan base.

Meh, I've already said this before, but I'll say it again.

Flying a banner does nothing but bring negative attention to UM fans as a grow.

If you want to show your dissatisfaction to the admin, act like an adult and put together a fundraiser to go toward AL's buyout. Don't pull a silly little middle-school prank and fly a banner.

That's the most unreasonable argument I have ever heard. Fundraisers without the schools backing means nothing. Which is why I will not support this mess by going to games, buying merchandise, signing checks for the Hurricane Club, or other things that the athletic department holds dear. I would suggest that others that read this do the same thing. I totally understand the banner as a voice for the voiceless. The reporter that has something to lose if he doesn't write certain things in the paper is no champion to the little guy. The TV reporter that reports what the execs say report on doesn't even care what the little guy has to say. The UM admin can care less what the average fan has to say, because if they did they would address line item by line item ALL of their concerns.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Keep wasting money fellas.

So concerned about our well being? Or, just teasing?

What impact did the banner have in 1997? The answer is zero. Folks are trying to make a hot seat correlation where there is none. At best case, it is being perceived as silly in the media.

 

[BALLHAWKU]

The banner clowns actually thought they were getting somewhere with that foolishness, lol! Show up to the games or stfu...lol Go Canes!

Lol...yeah. The banner inspired the players to start making tackles and causing fumbles. I even heard Duke said the banner fueled him for his
let's see. banner flies.....golden changes his mindset on defense. yep....worthless banner

record setting game toinight! Lol, You guys to old for this foolishness. Support the team or stfu again! Go Canes

I seen a lot more Grace, CT on the field and a lot more aggressive style play, that was the difference

Total BS.

Again, I've repeated myself about a dozen times now; I'll go ahead and do it once more.

Here's what you do.

Step 1. Start a KickStarter or GoFundMe site. Get fans to donate 20, 50, 100 bucks. All it takes is a couple thousand fans donating an average of ~50 bucks each and you've got 100k in your pocket.

Step 2. Elect a spokesperson for the group, someone who's passionate and knowledgeable about football but also well-spoken and personable in general, probably an alum.

Step 3. With the ~100k pledged, either set a meeting with a BOT member (or a few BOT members). If they won't meet with you, go to the press. Tell them our concerns. That puts BIG-TIME pressure on the admin.

People will listen to a few thousand fans who've put up 100k. People won't listen to penny-ante dumbasses who fly banners.

It didn't have any effect when people flew banners to fire Butch; I don't understand why people think the same tactic will magically have an effect now.

Lol at 1% of a coaches buyout meaning jack ****.

 

[The Franchise]

Why don't all the philanthropists and "high-profile Hurricanes alums" in here start their own fund for young Mr. Hucks? Why comment on how other people choose to spend their money? How is that helping Mr. Hucks?

If it's important enough to comment on and chastise others for, then why not start a simple funding project like the banner guys did? It's very easy to do. You know why they're not doing that? Because they're loud-mouthed faqqots who don't really care about the young man enough to put up actual cake or take actual time from their schedules. Instead, they castigate others for supporting projects that they believe in.

Put your money where your dyck-sucking mouths are, you super heroes, just like the banner guys did.

The backing of a couple thousand fans means a lot more than the dollar amount. What it means is that fans are willing to put their money where their mouths are.

Better than flying a banner that accomplishes nothing other than to embarrass UM fans as a whole.

The banner clowns actually thought they were getting somewhere with that foolishness, lol! Show up to the games or stfu...lol Go Canes!

I do not think you understand the idea behind protesting something you disagree with. Why spend $$$ on something/someone that you don't want to be around? The only way to make a statement to these idiots is by not spending $$ on the games and NOT showing up to get the message across.

But none of you went to the games before so...... Now you have an excuse is what your saying?

How do you know that I didn't go to any games? I have been a season ticket holder for years, but no, I did not renew this year as I will not support this staff or this admin with anymore of my money. Keep slurping up that mediocrity, golden slurpers.

Yeah that is what the great programs fans do, stop supporting when they are unhappy, loser.

I must be blogging with Stevie Wonder:

The banner is the tool of the little guy. SMH @ 100K...that **** won't even raise an eyebrow. Empty seats, banners, and other things will get the right attention though. In my business, 100K is a nice haul for 6 months to a year, but not nearly enough. But, for a university that is small peanuts.

I don't have a link to DBJ's radio shows, but he regurgitated the same comment that Porter tweeted and someone said that it sound like it was his original thought.

Pathetic, you are so selfish that you would rather throw money away for a few hours of entertainment than cloth, feed and immunize the less fortunate.

I'm not saying it's a cognizant choice; I'm saying that the level of forethought and maturity that it takes for one is different than the other. Might not be a conscious choice between funding Make a Wish and flying a banner...but people who do the former are usually not the type to do the latter, and vice-versa.

That is absolute unfounded BS based on your personal stereotyping. What's even worse, is you are stereotyping people you haven't ever even met, and even if you can name some posters on here that put money towards the banner, how many do you know beyond this board?

Michigan is offering discounted tickets for students because so many are boycotting the games since they marched on Hoke's and the AD's house. But I guess Michigan isn't one of the great programs (winningest program in NCAAF).

Again, you're choosing not to hear what I'm laying down.

The banner is the tool of idiots.

43 people donated to the banner. 43. That's all.

The admin laughs at 43 people. The admin knows that those 43 people don't determine squat, have no money, and mean nothing to them.

Put together a couple thousand people who donate 40 or 50 bucks a pop on average and then you have a movement.

Of course it's small potatoes when you're talking about a 6 or 7 million dollar buyout...but that's hardly the point. The point is that the admin sees a ****load of angry fans who put up their hard-earned cash to get rid of Al.

And if the admin doesn't listen, that's when you go to the press. Bet your *** that an organized movement of 2,000 fans calling for the head of Golden on a platter, with 100k to back it up, will get some major press on your side. Unlike a banner, which the press has laughed off and/or disparaged UM fans for.

Different situation.

Michigan fans aren't boycotting because of their W/L record. They're boycotting because their coaches actions directly lead to the serious injury of a player. The fans have the moral high ground. "Cane fans don't.

If you really believe he changed his mindset because he saw your stupid banner.... SMH

He spent probably $1600 on t shirts though.

Using a make-a-wish kid in an attempt to discredit people who don't agree that Al Golden is a young Bear Bryant. Stay classy slurpers.

That's some **** good spin right there. Do you work for FOX or Rush Limbaugh?

If sarcasm and hyperbole get you tight, the internet may not be for you.

I'm just giving you props for your fine abilities, man.

 

[Republicane]

Also, CaneInHeelCountry, I'm still unclear as to where you stand on the banner and your opinion of the people that funded it. If possible could you please restate it for the ninety-forth time? I hate it when different people post different things in threads. They are so much more entertaining when it it is one guy spamming his piping hot takes over and over. Presumably because he overestimates their brilliance and thinks they're so noteworthy that they must be posted multiple times in case anyone missed them the first through hundredth time around.
