Hmmm. to run a Cowher billboard campaign?

[patmoran2006]

**** it semi-worked for that kid to help get Jauron fired. .Ok, maybe it didnt but it was sure as hell bad press for the Bills.

Do I organize a 72-hour billboard fundraiser on the site, and errect a BIll Cowher billboard?

Hey man.. remember Buffalo basically recruited Takeo Spikes years ago.

[DrGraves]

Where can i donate???

[ddaryl]

Dude I have no problem contributing . I gave $20 to the last one.. This one is worth more to me...


Whoever will be at the game on Sunday bring your Cowher signs, and where your chins

[Nighthawk]

This is not a bad idea...let's do our part to get him in Buffalo!

[T-Long]

Pat I'm serious. You got to do this. It will get tons of coverage nationally. DO IT! Everyone is going to donate!

[patmoran2006]

I am going to call Lamar Advertisign (billboard company) at 8am tomorrow morning.

IF the price is reachable, I will do it up for SURE.

I would LOVE to do it, I bet my life it would make CBS pregame show on Sunday

[elltrain22]

I would def donate money. Not much, b/c I ain't rich, but I would contribute to that. Please do it.

[patmoran2006]

Need a graphic artist to design something though..

[OpIv37]

don't waste your money. The Bills have ZERO chance of getting Cowher. ZERO.

[patmoran2006]

"Buffalo Bill Cowher"

[Nighthawk]

don't waste your money. The Bills have ZERO chance of getting Cowher. ZERO.

That's not true...is it likely, no...but ZERO chance is just false.

[Michael82]

I donated $10 for the Fire Jauron billboard. I will double that for a Cowher billboard. :up:

[T-Long]

"Buffalo Bill Cowher"

thought of that earlier today!

[patmoran2006]

Wednesday morning I will have the details and hopefully something set up...

Im going to call Lamar in the morning and a few media contacts to ensure the billboard will pick up steam quickly.

If its a go, It will be sticked at top of Buffalo Sports Daily all week and every single place I post and I'll use every media contact I have..

It would have to get up by Saturday evening IMO to do what its supposed to do.. I want it to be shown on CBS pregame on Sunday morning.

I agree...it needs to move quickly...let Cowher know how much we want him in Buffalo!!!!

We gotta get it up and in a prime location so CBS can show it! :up:

bull****

[casdhf]

Just put that sig picture of of Cowher wearing the Bills Hat. That is awesome.

[BillsWin]

Use the photo I made and put "Bring in "The Chin"" on it!!!

[mikemac2001]

if it gets rolling id throw in some cash...and classic op post so neg

[YardRat]

I like that idea.

Somebody already has a website, and it's on facebook also.

I have $$$ to spend

[tampabay25690]

Get this done Pat and I think the $$ will roll in for you and how does COWHER say NO???

[Forward_Lateral]

I say use the graphic that someone created with Cowher in the Bills hat and coat.

Use the slogan "Buffalo Bill Cowher, saving Buffalo since 2010"

[Dr. Lecter]

don't waste your money. The Bills have ZERO chance of getting Cowher. ZERO.

Is this the same ZERO chance the Sabres had of coming back last night?

Just wondering.

[trapezeus]

if this works, i'll love that for 50+ years buffalo politicians have killed the city we love, but the people are making change simply by posting billboards around town. This is grass roots baby!

I like that.

calling ad company to see if we can make this happen right now.

[patmoran2006]

I just called Lamar Advertising,
Someone is going to call me back.

I'm only going to do it IF the timing is right.. meaning if it cant get up for two weeks then its not worth doing.

[OpIv37]

It's zero. The guy has no interest in ruining his legacy/reputation working for this cluster**** of an organization.

[patmoran2006]

Wouldn't Cowher heading things make it be not a cluster**** of an organization? Which in turn could enhance his legacy?

[OpIv37]

if Ralph shuts his mouth and opens his wallet. But he's never done that before- why would Cowher or anyone else expect him to do it now?

[The Juice Is Loose]

it really blows when fans are spending money out of their pockets on top of tickets, beers, hot dogs and jerseys.

now we have to buy billboards to get our franchise to act appropriately?

i think that in and of itself is bad. yeah, i want the bills to win. but if they don't want to on their own then f* em.

[mikemac2001]

I'd have it say " buffalo wants you" and like a pic of cowher kinds like America wants u ad think it be funny and better then da chin no offense billswin

[justasportsfan]

does this mean you're quitting again?

[HHURRICANE]

don't waste your money. The Bills have ZERO chance of getting Cowher. ZERO.

Sadly, if I even though we had a 5% chance I might but I 100% agree with you here.

No reason to throw good money at bad.

[The Juice Is Loose]

does this mean you're quitting again?

yes it does

[justasportsfan]

yes it does
Promise?
Are you leaving right now?

[JJamezz]

Unless you took the photo yourself or have the rights to it, that's not going to go over too well..

I'm guessing you also can't use 'Buffalo Bills,' 'Buffalo Bill,' or possibly even just 'Bills'

[Michael82]

If it was still Christmas time....the ideal sign would be....


All I want for Christmas is Bill Cowher as Head Coach!

[JJamezz]

What's a full or half page ad in the Buffalo News cost?

[Dying_-2-_Live]

any updates on this? Id gladly donate a little something

[JJamezz]

Unlike the first billboard, the purpose of this one wouldn't be to cause a stir and hopefully make the Bills take notice, in my mind it'd be sort of a personal message from Bills fans to Cowher himself.

Something that tugs on his heart a little bit, and shows him what type of fans and people would be waiting for him in Buffalo. He seems like an emotional guy, who knows, maybe it has some impact on him. Like Pat said, it worked with Takeo.

I think a newspaper ad might the better medium for something like this, but I'm guessing even a half page ad would be considerably more than the billboard - but I don't know how big of a paper the Buffalo News is, I don't live up there.

[JJamezz]

Wow.. from what I can quickly figure, a half page ad in the Buffalo News could be upwards of $5K... so much for that idea!

[BillsWin]

None taken. As long as they use my picture because I think it does get the point across!
