New billboard

[Belegal]

I think Starkville owes it to Jones to buy a billboard with his picture & thanks for being loyal to his home town Starkville & State. We need to let these young men know they are appreciated for their mature decisions and being loyal! I would put it close to Starkville High for all his classmates to see!!! May yeah off these problems in the future?

[Political Hack]

I like the way you think.

[mic]

This should be done ...

[ShotgunDawg]

I like this very much! Great idea

I think MSU fans should fork over the money for it. Not sure if that's legal though, but either way it needs to happen!

I say go ahead & put on at the corner of 45 & 82 of Simmons & make Bama's 5th string OT, see every time he passes by

[ElitedawgRecruiting]

I got it. A picture of him walking into the football building wearing a Lakers jersey. Caption reads "For Kobe, too good to pass"

[SDDawg]

I love it, where do I send my money?!

[Big4Dawg]

"Hometown hero" and https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/1c/41/cf/1c41cf0bfc950c32bbef3e6de761247b.jpg but instead a state football jersey

That was easy.

[FISHDAWG]

[mic]

Need to add .gavin ware Tyson carter and Gabe Myles to it...

[the59dawg]

Like it. Put me down for $100.

[dickiedawg]

We can seriously make this happen assuming it is kosher in the eyes of the NCAA.
Put Gavin, Gave Myles, Tyson Carter and Kobe Jones on there with the caption Hometown Heroes.

There's also a former YellowJacket on the volleyball team, not sure of other sports but I wouldn't want to leave anyone out.

[gtowndawg]

I like the way you think.

ditto. make it happen.

[Dawgface]

Great idea.

[AlmostPositive]

Somebody call or email somebody on the Starkville City Council... check to see if it doesn't break some nickle-ass NCAA rule, and proceed accordingly.

[CadaverDawg]

Brackey is eating Taco Bell for lunch today simply so he can shit all over this great idea. But I hope we can make it happen.

[Op4isabitch]

If this is a go, then I'll pony up $100 or 2

[dickiedawg]

Apparently the University is considering doing this and it would not be allowable for fans to set it up.

[Commercecomet24]

I'm in! Great idea!

[Apoplectic]

I'm in! Great idea!

or 2

[Howboutdemdogs]

If this is to be done, I will pay one month's fee for the sign. PM me if this happens. I don't post often, but this is how strong I feel about in our Bulldog Family!

[Commercecomet24]

This kinda stuff is what makes me proud to be a Bulldog.

[Bass Chaser]

I'll donate too.

[Commercecomet24]

This thread is like a rose in the middle of a bunch of thorns.

[swimdog]

Put me down for a month.

[State82]

Best idea I've heard in a long, long time.

How do we get the ball rolling on this? This is a great idea. Especially with Willie Gay being there this year. Seeing all his former classmates on a billboard when driving to school every day. and not to mention a certain former SHS player when he comes "home" on college breaks

[Dallas_Dawg]

I would think that it would be some sort of violation to put active players on a billboard to promote athletics.

[State82]

I would think that it would be some sort of violation to put active players on a billboard to promote athletics.

We use billboards with players to promote season tickets

[It_Could_Happen]

Welcome to our state billboards had active players on it. Know for a fact Gavin ware and Kendra Grant were on one last year

[Belegal]

Glad my idea has caught on - someone make this work with Starkville/State

[vv83]

Who knows Strickland or someone high up in the AD?

[Bama_Dawg]

We use billboards with players to promote season tickets

...and also just Athletics in general. I know on I-10 coming in from Alabama, Wes Rea and Vick Ballard were on the "Welcome to Our STATE" billboard as active players.

[Saltydog]

as well...........

[Political Hack]

We could raise the money here easily for a billboard. The art would probably be more expansive than the billboard, although it looks like we've got a little talent in that department floating around here too.

I would call Bracky to ask, but he's always tells me no. Maybe someone else should call.

I think me and the company can take care of the art if necessary.

[Barking 13]

The "Push" billboard that had the basketball players on it now covers my boat

[Op4isabitch]

Can someone make the required call and get back to us here, also need someone who is willing to be the collection man for donations.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Apparently the University is considering doing this and it would not be allowable for fans to set it up.

If enough money is raised here does it necessarily have to be approved through the school? I know you couldn't use actual players or logo, but possible to find the "gray" area and get the same point across? I have no idea, but seeing a billboard with Elitedawgs as a sponsor on it would definitely drive the bearsharks insane.

What location you guys thinking? Hwy 12?

[parabrave]

Na thats acting like a sixth grader who lost out on the prettiest girl in the class. If you really want to stir the pot lease some billboards around every IRS building in the State and post the instagram photos of ingram and other OM players with the cash. IRS really loves to inquire about large cash transactions and unreported income over ten thousand.

[Commercecomet24]

The grove

Bravo, Bravo!

10,000 is a bank threshold for disclosure but doesn't trigger IRS audits. $200,000 might though.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

We could also add silhouettes on there and say "Who's next?

Believe there is a song about that.

bump because too good to not do this
