Man, do you guys remember when JC floated that Tad Boyle rumor out there to lull The College of Charlestown into a false sense of security then he snapped up a shocked oscar Weber for $1.5 million?

This guy is playing chess while everyone else if playing checkers.

It is my view that death threats and violent fantasies are not very helpful when trying to argue with someone.

yeah, don't do or threaten anything violent, don't break anything, don't vandalize anything, don't do anything illegal.  #burnitdown is not a literal movement.

Yeah. #LetTheTreesTakeIt might be more accurate, but it somewhat less inspiring.

I think a shirt saying "John Currie hates K-State" would be pretty amazing.

I have an idea...



Lol. Kougs just got me on the #firecurrie bandwagon with this one shirt alone.

Awesome, but it shouldn't have taken the shirt to get you on the bandwagon. This bandwagon should be a no-brainer for anyone who loves EMAW.

It's fantastic but shouldn't John Currie be referenced very clearly on the front so it'll be comprehensible to those playing along at home via their televisions?

So Currie blew into town & handed Prince a check to make him go away.  Big deal, anyone here could've handled that situation in the same manner and likely at equal or lower cost.

Definitely lower cost.  He paid attorneys tens of thousands to get the case set up perfectly in front of a favorable Riley County jury, then gave RP the equivalent money in lump sum that we'd have had to pay years from now.

I led a Fire John Currie chant in the middle of O'Malley's last night. Surprisingly, very few people know who that snake-oil salesman is.

I like the airplane banner for starters. A simple 'firejohncurrie.com' could work depending on how readable it is. Not sure when Royals open their pathetic season but I would plunk down a fair bit to get this banner rolling if someone in KC felt like organizing it.



Ooh, nice outfit. What is that, Dacron?

Also if you could get a team of about a dozen people to distribute anti-Currie propaganda at the parking lot prior to the game you could likely do a lot of good. Print up flyers, move quickly and don't spend a lot of time engaging in conversation or trying to sway people. I'll pay for the printing costs.

We need to get to the donors. We need over half of them threatening to discontinue their donations until Currie and Weber are gone. But how o we reach them? The important ones are most likely not on the internet, and they definitely aren't on goEMAW or twitter.

Exposure first. Flyers, banners, web site. Somebody should purchase some billboards in KC and Wichita. The message is simply to urge other donors to communicate to Breadstix what the consequences will be if Currie is not fired.

I'll donate if someone will organize a "eff John Currie Right In The Ass!!!" banner to be flown at the first home football game this fall.  :ksu:

I've done the logistics on this before, and I'll do it again....but not for a $20 donation.  It will take a couple grand.

We had the money raised, and the flight scheduled for the Fire Prince airplane banner, and then they canned him.   I then refunded all the money to the donors without incident.

We could do the same thing again.

That's longer than what they can do.  It's much easier logistically to do "FIRE CURRIE."  Get more passes, less gas, etc.  If you'd still be in for that amount, your generous gift would go a long way in making this happen.


Also, you cannot fly over during the game.  It's limited to a hour before, or an hour after an event a stadium.  Last time with Prince, we had it lined up for 5-6 passes around the stadium an hour before kickoff.   We were using the same group that did the "FIRE GIBBS" banners for OU, out of Florida.  They were going to fly up to Salina, prep, and then do the fly-overs around the stadium.

Is there nobody in the area who would do it? Seems flying from Florida for the gig would add a good deal of expense.

This isn't that hard to do.  If everyone that wished death upon Currie in the last 24 hours threw in $100, you're there.

We can get it done.  The Florida distance thing isn't that big of a deal.  We'll just price it out and get the best arrangement. 

It's very simple, really.  Will look glorious too.  Especially when we take pictures and send it to John Currie's future employers/fans.

I think EMAWgeddon can fly planes.

I'm also pro-billboard.  We never had to find out last time, but I still think we may get more bang for the buck with a billboard that sits in Manhattan listing firejohncurrie.com or whatever that takes one to a list of Currie's atrocities against EMAW.

I too like the idea of public, recorded mocking whenever he's out and about.  PapEMAWzzi.

The billboards around Manhattan run about $350/month I believe...no idea what setup charges are.  I think Thomas Sign has a shitload of them.
