Let's write an acidic "FIRE SNYDER" on the field prior to the spring game.o

Whatever can be done the quickest.

We had it priced out for Ron at around $2500, IIRC.  Same guy who did the "Fire Gibbs" banner for OU...he's out of Florida.  Flies all over doing stuff like this.

Can you find a contractor that can provide 3 or so of those under the same contract?  Maybe get a bulk rate?

Also, need to get sneaky with this.  Make the Phoggies think that Snyder leaving would be good for them....maybe they kick in?   :dunno:

A billboard would be seen by way more people than a banner at the spring game.

Billboard is the easier option, because of contingencies for weather and what not.  Plus, the banner can only be flow an hour prior to kickoff or an hour after kickoff due to FAA rules and crap.


If there is a media buyer on the board that wants to lend a hand with pricing, shoot me a PM.  I have a guy lined up, but he does loads of other stuff in the area and would prefer not to get to involved.

If cosh stays and sean in fact becomes a position coach, the paypal account needs to be set up.

Agreed.  Again, my personal opinion is that having Snyder with Leavitt (or some other younger talented coaches) as a DC is a GOOD setup.   If he doesn't make changes, he should be retired.

Did we ever find out the price of a billboard along Tuttle Creek Blvd?

It's probably going to be cheaper to do a billboard, but until you nail down artwork, run time, and exact location it's iffy.  I was told $2000 would do it "the right way," but could be done for less.  If you guys get a chance, get me some exact locations of bilboards (preferably with pics) that would be good.

billboard is almost too easy to do.  A banner over the spring game would be a massive impact for the cause.

Can we put it next to the frequently vandalized ku billboard on I-70?

Very simplistic billboard with a properly and to-the-point named website (not goEMAW.com) listed on it, the website of which can have all kinds of congrats and rationale for the OBz' retirement.

Banner sounds cool but I don't think it's effective.  Those who've seen my pak level in game parking lots know I quickly can't see 20 feet from me, let alone a few thousand feet in the air.  And I'm pretty sure the spring game is about pak'ing.

Trim's idea sounds the most reasonable. Putting up a sign asking Bill to resign or retire outright will likely just piss off our tard-dominated fanbase even more. But if you direct them to a website that thanks Snyder for his service AND nicely outlines why he needs to go, then you might start changing the minds of some of the less myopic shirt tucks.

Guys, as long as Bill is breathing, the tards will want him.   Bill could be obviously delusional, and they would claim that he would be well suited to think up plays that no one else would.

There will be no winning over of the tards in trying to get Bill out.

Gonna have to either be bad enough for Currie to pull the plug, or Bill will have to either die or retire willingly.
