Any donations Pat has received has been via BZ. Despite polls on other message boards showing support of the idea, nobody is donating. So this brings me to the point of this thread, does anybody who posts here have any credibility on BBMB, The Buffalo Range, or Buffalo Bills Insider. And if they do would they be willing to show support of the billboard in those respective forums.

The board is up to 266.76 right now.

Not bad for one day, and considering its ALL BZ members right now.
But considering most of that came early in 1st day, that's not going to get it done.

Magic number - 1125. AFter that, every penny gets donated to Hunter's Hope directly.

Is Sal going to talk about it during the show tonight? When he pitched it for the fire Jauron billboard the guy hit his goal before the show was over.

Just do me a favor.. anyone on here who is AGAINST a billboard, that's fine.

But please dont ruin it by making this thread a battle for the people who already have donated.

It's never talked about over at BuffaloRange because it's never on the front page.

As promised when this fist started, I threw the old double-sawbuck in for the cause. I am not here, however, for the complimentary hand-release...

No, fellow brethren of the Buffalo, I have a serious request/suggestion for our great fans.

If we want a coach with a real winning attitude, I don't think that any of us can deny that a real coach is going to have a real moustache (antiquated, but more sophisticated spelling.)

In support of William Cowher, I propose that the men, and the able-ladies, sport the hirsute upper lip. Let's show Bill we are his kind of town!!

Now, it would be great if a savvy fan was able to create a sort of online petition that allowed us to show us moustaches off to Bill, to show a certain solidarity of the stache.

I am not sure who here has ever worn el moustacho, but let me tell you, I wore one in the early spring last year, and there is a definite understanding amongst those brave enough to wear the moustache. I am not talking the dirt bag that never shaved his original peach fuzz, and now has a some bleach-blonde catfish resembling hair hanging off of his lip, but rather a man's man. When you see a half way normal human being with a moustache, there is an understanding...

$10 mil per.... that's the way to his wallet, but if we want Cowher, we have to get to his heart, and the only way there is through the moustache.

Good point, though I'm slightly concerned about your mustache fetish.

The way I see it, getting the billboard is a solid idea, have nothing to lose and if nothing else will bring attention on all the news channels about who the Bills fans want.

And worse case, some money goes to a Charity. I've always thought of it as a win, win. BUt we'll have to see

Or just keep getting bumped. Studies have proven that stickied threads get ignored more than regular threads.

Just posted a message on the main Bills forum... keep it bumped up if you are over there

the problem isnt on this board, this board has had contributors to the billboard.

The problem is the other 2 boards (Range and BB.com). SOmeone from here with cred who also posts there needs to put up something.

Those guys generally dont like me, because I do nothing on there but post my website's articles, and boards understandably dont like that.

BZ is where I spend all my chatting time

not if you use big letters bolded, and colored.. :lol:


but I agree stickied threads can be ignored, but threads that do not get bumped can be lost forever...

As of right now its at $367.01

We really need to step it up if we want this to happen. This board has been great but its goin to take getting it out to the other boards to make it happen. All but one donor thus far has been from BZ, which surprises me 0%

He did.

The biggest problem right now is there is no real Cowher news to gain optimism, so people for the most part feel like they'd be contributing to a lost cause.
