I would be willing to do billboard art work, if you need someone to do it.

Excellent.  We'll holler at you when we get rolling.

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

Maybe just vandalize it onto the KU billboard?

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.

Billboard is the way to go, but the thought of a banner flying around during the Family Reunion weekend is hilarious.

billboard is a quick cheap cop out.  Banners behind planes get attention and get people talking.

Bill will have to either die

This would be much cheaper than a billboard. Planning it out may take some time, though.

I still feel making this opinion public with a billboard or a banner could tie curry's hands of forcing him out.   Seems it would do more harm than good.

Do it as cheaply as possible.  Just a simple billboard with a simple message.  No need to be fancy.  Let's get this ball rolling. Let's do this!  Let's do it!

Do it right. Snyder will not be fired before this season. Make sure that the banner conveys the message exactly the way you want it conveyed.

Billboard is the way to go IMO.  The billboard sure as hell cannot contain the words "FIRE" or even "RETIRE".  If it comes across as too mean spirited it will totally backfire and cause a swelling of additional Tard/Shirt Tuck support.  I like Trim's idea of directing people to a website not connected to goEMAW.com in any way.  Like thanksforthememoriessbill.com or something along those lines.

Cheapest way to get the "Fire Bill" message out is to contact local establishments in Aggieville. Start with the book store. Offer them $1,000 to leave it on the scroll for a week. If they say no, move on to Rusty's, O'Malley's, the Barber shop, etc.

Owners of those establishments would be foolish to turn down $1,000 in this economy.

Not joking. You will find an owner who wants Bill out of town.

I would frequent that establishment. Wouldn't worry about losing business at all.

A full-page Collegian ad would cost between $900 and $1,050.

Would be more effective than shirts, IMO.
