GOFUNDME LINK

The "Fire Sankey" billboards are LIVE.

We can probably rotate in new art starting Monday. I will post candidates tomorrow for a vote. The billboards will run through Thursday.

Operation Geaux High, the aerial banner campaign over the Ole Miss game, is underway.

Supply is extremely tight. But I now have a good relationship with a pilot who can fly our banner over Ole Miss between noon and three pm on Saturday. We are going to get an extremely good deal because he is waiving tow charges. All in for a TEXT banner will be about $2,000. We can fund that now.

IF we want art, we can do 25 x 80 flying billboard (about 2000 square feet), but that will be an additional $6700 or so, and we will have to have final art ready by early Monday AM. We would also need to raise about another five grand.

So here are the options:

1) Fly a text banner and spend the remainder on a digital billboard in Oxford (probably but not certainly available).

2) Fly a billboard at a much higher cost, with the need to get and approve art very, very quickly.



Please let me have your thoughts as soon as possible.

The Committee is presently leaning toward some version of this banner.




TIGERS is willing to front the cost and hope we raise the funds if the Board wants to go that way.

NOTE: The Taskforce Investigating Governance, Ethics & Reform in Sports (TIGERS) is in no way affiliated with LSU, any other entity, or any coach, including Lane Kiffin. The views expressed are solely those of and inspired by the passionate fandom of the TIGERS executive committee members, who speak for no one but themselves.

SEC lacks institutional control. Needs to be restructured.
All members must have equal voice in decision making for all issues. Currently, it is run like a cult where few insiders make biased decisions and announce it to the members and media.

the lack of centering of the lines below has my ocd kicking. not really sure if the kiffin line is a good idea or not even though we all certainly understand the humor.

It's satire. I think we are good. But I get your point.

Not an artist. If you can revise it, I can change the art.

Looks great, but Lamar legal says we have to put the "Paid for" language in.

This is stupid.

If you want to do something, donate the money to the program to help keep players coming to LSU. Stick it in their faces by winning everything for many years. That would be more impactful.
