Hurricane Alumni on the banner...

Republicane said:
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.

Ah, touched a sore spot I see. What's that you said about "the internet not being a place for you?"

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.

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.

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.

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.

43 warriors had the entire football program in an uproar, the coach wouldn't even make an appearance at events because of 43 people. 43 people as you so put it, have the coaches attention. But, while you are harping on the number 43, there were more people not showing up to games, and when they do show up, you better believe it is to see for themselves how FSU beats the brakes off of Miami. ESPN is not any kind of media to be quoting for anything BTW. Keep on supporting this mishap of a coaching staff. I would encourage all the fans to continue to do other things than support sorry Big 10 football. These 43 people are heroes, I am one, and I will support the banner again and again until changes are made.

And I'm the one who's "self important"?? ****'s sake.

:Qft9gEw:
 
Philosophy= pathetic
Scheme= disaster
Lying on Attendance #'s= horrible
Inability to show up in big games= unforgivable
Blaming some mythical cloud= cowardly
Never beating Jimbo Fisher= PRICELESS

And to think, you have until 2019 or until Jimbo leaves town for this to change
 
Are those the same 43 people who showed up for the "Save the Orange Bowl" rally? That one had a big impact too.

High-profile Hurricanes alum, after the game: "Instead of flying a banner, why don't they pay to fly that Make-A-Wish kid to the next game?"

F*ck that Lame *** Sh*t. That's not the goal of the program.

MotherF*ck A Wish, Beeeyatch


You guys are a bunch of Candy Canes
 
If you told 100 people to guess which board "Pimp Tight" is a member of, I'm guessing that Iowa and Stanford wouldn't get too many votes.
 
GimpNight squeezing every drop of lameness out of that Candy Cane gimmick. He must have just heard that for the first time and busted a gut over it.
 
So a group of fans giving the middle finger to a coach that gave the entire fan base the middle finger (for varying amounts of time) has denigrated to this? What a joke.

I bet there are more chinstrap wearers around here than you give credit.

If true then how do we have 10,000 posts about talent vs scheme or 7 pages of whether a banner or poor performance kills recruiting? I'll take your word for it.
