We also wanted to make the charity related to Florida hurricane relief so we didn’t look like pure interlopers flying a banner at a game in which we were not playing

I'll accept.

Who would downvote this?


I'm guessing a Bama lurker. I've been seeing some really suspect individual downvotes today, and Bama Lurker makes the most sense.

I’ve got to be honest, the billboards were a good idea, this was frickin stupid.

Then don’t contribute. Thanks for your input. But considering that Twitter is on fire about it, I’d have to respectfully disagree.

Thank you. I was sweating bullets at times, but it all worked.

United Cajun Navy is extremely grateful. I’ve been emailing them fundraising updates.

Really glad you picked them. When looking for ideas, they stood out as a stand up group. And they don't just do boat rescues. They collect and distribute food and supplies.

We have raised $6364 (when I posted that).

We have about $6400 now. $2400 is going to United Cajun Navy. Every additional dollar we get from here goes to United Cajun Navy.

Note that the original estimate for the BR flight was low. It’s going to be more than $2000 to do that flight. Because people donated based on the estimates, I’m paying the difference from my pocket.

Let me know if you need more accounting. I’m not being snide. When you ask for money, you need to be transparent.

Oh no...I just thought I had read something different this morning...
Thought maybe we had added something I missed.

No worries!! Great job!! Hope it get’s lots of media attention and enough donations to cover costs.

I have to say, I've had more fun today than all the previous LSU byes combined. All this turned about far better than I envisioned it could with the prominent mentions on a couple of different ESPN broadcasts. Can't wait to see what the next week brings!
