Another flying banner before SMU game?

[dmaxel]

I have no idea if we've collectively said no to banners or if they're still trendy, but since we had one flying in 2015 saying "Go Mean Green", what about this year's game? Discuss ;)

If we lose to Lamar, yes...banner time.  I'll chip in the first $100 towards a "Fire Seth" banner at SMU if Lamar rolls in and beats us at home to open the season.

We lost in 2015.  Being superstitious, we should not fly a banner this year.  Case closed.

Seth is going to be here for quite a while...he could go 0-12 this year and still coach next year. But thankfully, the precedent has been set from McCarney's firing that we will no longer allow a buyout of more than a year keep us from firing a coach.

Can't argue with that.

I'd chip in again.  I believe the banner that flew that day was kept.  @All About UNT  @greenjoe,  Do either of you know where it is?

I started to say that I recalled the cost.  then, I realized I couldn't remember anything.  But I'll contribute again this year.  Was the banner reusable ?  Checking the tape, it was a green banner with white lettering.  But no "stylized " eagle or other graphic. 

 

Please PM me for my part of the cost. 

 

GO MEAN GREEN

Instead of a banner, we should get out in front of the P5 schools and fundraise for THIS

So the banner might still be sitting in an airplane hanger in Midlothian. 

http://www.bigqaviation.com/home.html is who flew the banner last time...but to be honest... I would love for a larger and better looking banner to be made for multiple flyovers.  I haven't brought it up with the new AD but I pushed as hard as I could with the last one.  I will reach out to the new AD with thoughts on the matter.
