Don't give Strickland any ideas.

Don't give Strickland any ideas.

I could just see the winning bidder step out onto Scott Field with his Farm Bureau emblazoned shirt and Golden Flake hat shouting out plays on his Bullock Toyota bullhorn that ended everything he said with "downtown Louisvuuuuuuhhhhlllllll". I keep waiting for the day we have "We strive to amaze you" painted in the endzone.

I don't think it's that bad an idea. I wouldn't do it through Ebay, and it's absurd that some guy not affiliated with the school at all paid that much for it, but I'm sure he'll have a limited list of plays from which to call.

Didn't we auction off the coaching gig Mullen's first year? Not on eBay of course, but I think I remember that.

I actually think it's a pretty decent idea.

Now they have a random rich guy in Silicon Valley giving their football program $12,000- and he could potentially turn into a booster for them at some point.

I thought we had done something like that already.

Yeah, what if it's a random Beardoucheshark that wins?

Chris Jones then pressures teh QB to the sideline where he "accidentally" trips and runs headfirst into the aforementioned beardoucheshark ala that scene in Necessary Roughness.

Brilliant

[sleepy dawg]

I think it's a brilliant idea... Of course you would want some limitations in place, but it could get us a little extra revenue, and some publicity.
