BuzzOut ad: OG&B, Darren Rovell RT, Yahoo, WXII, NYT, USA Today, CBS Sports

[Strattocaster]

The papers hit the stands at 9:00PM tonight. This is a print ad only.

It's on Page 17.

VTbuilt the ad. Strat and I paid for it.

Here are the sites that have picked this up:

CBS Sports:

New York Times:
“There’s an entirely different brand of chaos going on in Winston-Salem, N.C., where Wake Forest fans unhappy with Coach Jeff [Redacted] have taken out an ad in the student newspaper calling for his firing.”

This is a good start, but obviously this was what it was going to be when you guys were all "THURSDAY NIGHT BUT CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT'S HAPPENING LOL."

Gotta say, though, when you say things like "we're moving onto larger publications," a student newspaper isn't what most people would have in mind.

 

[DeacsPop]

Love it.

 

[qwertybirdie]

This makes me happy.

great looking ad, but everyone is on spring break next week

This isn't the larger publication

Patience.

Two editorials are appearing in a major local paper. Mine will probably run tomorrow. Joey Davis' will run Saturday or Monday.

I will post them when I have confirmation.

We thought about that but still decided to run it becuase we want to keep the pressure on.

I'd say 95% of students don't even know what BuzzOut means. A simple "Fire [Redacted]" in large writing would've been more effective, but I can't hate. Good job.

 

[EatLeadCommie]

A great start. I'd rather it be in the OG&B than on some website. It'll get Ron's attention.

 

[RicoSuave]

Thats a nice looking ad. Good job.

If they didn't at the time, anyone who sees the ad now will know.

holding cards very close.

That was the point.

 

[vtwhat etc]

Hope it helps in keeping the conversation active.

Still need everyone's help to spread the message.

EIC wouldn't let us run that. Trust we tried.

 

[WFdeacon04]

Strong work.

I'd be really interested to hear more of the back and forth with the EIC. Exactly how opposed were they to this?
