The #Buzzout #Wellmanout Billboard: Development Thread

Can our videoboard ad be some sort of 30 second danceoff ala the "smithfield sizzle"? The BUZZOUT BOOGIE!!
 
Why haven't we just hired Say Hey to come up with something funny? Please don't have it be stats oriented.

We've decided to purchase an ad on the video board at BB&T Field for every Deacs home game. No formal quotes yet but it should run about $50,000 total. I'll have a Crowdtilt up later today.

So RSF, can you really give us an update of what is actually going on? I have offered to help several times but VT says you intentionally wanted to keep stratt and I out of this. Have you picked out a billboard? If so, how much, where, and when? The board meets on the 19th. We really need somthing done by then.

You have $4,600 bucks and we have heard very little. If you need help, take it. We all want the same thing here.

We need to hear more about this. RSF...y u no want help from Stratt? You no like Stratt? What Stratt do you no like?
 
Its like the little kid assigned a project from school but he is tired of his parents helping him and he will do things on his own, but not before his parents buy him all the supplies he needs. So first he misses the projects deadline but not to be deterred he is still going to complete it even though for every week the project is late the teacher is reducing him one letter grade, so at this point he is already at a C. Finally he gets the project completed and shows his parents, and all it is a bunch of sticks glued together and some stickers. His parents laugh and convince him he needs their help, the project finally gets done but since it is so late he gets a D, the project exists and is turned in but at this point the glue and sticks would have worked since its just a D for participation and getting the project done. This would have all been avoided if the kid had just let the parents help then it would have been a solid B to an A.
 
Disclaimer before I post: I did not donate money to the billboard (working to find $ to donate, not because I don't support it) so take what I say however you want.

Keeping people who donated money totally in the dark should not occur but it will discourage people from donating in the future if there are any more endeavors. I think everyone understands no telegraphing to the admin what is going on but some general points need to be disclosed. I would definitely suggest at least using the Strat's behind the scenes since their ad campaigns are the most successful things thus far.

I did donate - to both the newspaper ads and the billboard - and I agree with this 100%. I'm actually think the way this has been handled has taken a lot of wind out of BuzzOut's sails between the lack of communication and action. I want to support this movement and the people doing it, but this has not been nearly as good of an experience as when the Stratts and VT engineered the ACC Tournament ads.

Props to RSF for bottom-lining this, but we need an update that let's us know what's going on beyond the Wellman-esque "Trust me."

I think we should hide a picture of RSF in one of 3 beach chairs and shuffle the chairs around. If you guess which chair, you're a "winner."

Uh oh, Prius sighting!
 
I guarantee that the game plan will not be posted on these boards and I bet RSF doesn't want to make PMing people a part time job.
It is frustrating but we will be heard!!
 
I'm still trying to get a handle on what is going on here. Between people arguing and such, I get lost.

Are people suggesting that a bilboard go up ASAP?

If I had donated money (and I didn't becasue I'm both broke, and a schmuck), I wouldn't want anything to go up right now. The season is over, and the focus is shifting to football. Even if you want to keep the general public thinking about the basketball program, it's still not the most opportune time.
Personally, I think August would be the perfect time. The start of the Basketball season would be 3 months away....but that is also when the fundraisers for the capitol to purchase LJVM start...right? THAT is when you should remind people that the program is in the toilet, and hit Wellman in the pocketbook.
 
I gave to both the ad and the billboard and think you ppl need to take a chill pill, or slash RSF's tires.
