They are giving you the cards. It wouldn't be that hard for the students to spell out something else.

Something about a coach maybe?

Wouldn't be hard to get to the stadium early and rearrange the cards...

If higher education teaches anyone anything it should be to think critically. But just throw all that out the window.

I did like the use of "capital campaign" in lieu of the originally proposed "colossal cash grab".

Whatever it says, will be beveled.

While funny, I think that would be the wrong way of going about it.

If you do not participate - Do not hold up the card. Simple. Hopefully enough people will not participate to send a message to those "leading by example" that you/we cannot participate until we know what we are participating in.

I don't know, seems easy, simple, and respectful to share a artist rendition or CG render of what the message is supposed to be.... I mean RWB-out wasn't planned like "here, shut up and put on this shirt, we're doing something patriotic".

Engage your audience. Get us on board. It'll happen MUCH easier with a compliant target audience.

We're gonna keep kids from using drugs by giving A&M 4 billion dollars?

Pay for 100,000 ridiculous cards and ask us to donate $4 billion. You sure you can spend that money wisely?

Unpatriotic thoughts. Thread forwarded to authorities.

Gotta spend money to spend $4billion on the mystery box.

Hard to imagine that the message can be anything other than some catch phrase from an abstinence only perspective on drug use and other "immoral" behaviors. Maybe we will also adopt the BYU code of conduct.

I feel like it has nothing to do with teens and drugs and that poster just posted the first google result that came up.

Its going to be some sort of lame thank you to "the troops" that is totally dehumanizing and belittling.

They're going to announce when to raise the cards. Look for the N end zone to be late. PA is totally unintelligible even after five games.

"When the stunt has ended, feel free to take the cards home as a memento of having participated in this event, or if you choose not to, please help the clean up crews by disposing of the card and the plastic in the extra trash reciprocals provided."

So much fail in so little words.

GREAT ROSE BOWL HOAX In the 1961 Rose Bowl (Washington V Minnesota) a group of mischievous students from Cal Tech arranged for a "re-arranging" of the cards during a planned Card Stunt. The message was changed to read "CAL TECH". The story of how the switch was done is fascinating. I know Lyn Hardy who led the prank. The story is here:

Total embarrassment. Real paper-cut for the administration.

Perhaps the greeks could finally pull their weight and make this happen

I'm a little concerned for President Young. If this becomes a disaster, his "initiative" is badly hurt. The amount of secrecy and deliberate vagueness is too "hopey" "changey" these days.

Football games are for football and school pride, not glorified public service announcements.

The thing about the cards is, it implies full aggie support from all the fans. What if it's not something I support?
