Anyone with any advertising experience would tell you that's way too much text for a billboard especially with how small the font is. That's all I'm saying. If you're going the speed limit are going to have time to read that? Nahh

Especially for a digital billboard which rotates with at least 6 others.

As opposed to wasting money on #FreeDevinWhite billboards that accomplished absolutely nothing? That money would’ve been better spent on literally anything of substance. Becoming the laughing stock of the entire country is hardly something to be proud of.

As opposed to raising 6500 for charity or 30 bucks and a can of Skoal for hurricane relief.

The LSU billboard fund raise almost $3,000 for the LSU vet school. The flying banner fund raised about $2,000 for the Cajun Navy.

And the coolest part is the money went exactly where the GFM description said it would. They didn't lie about it.

So what about the money you wasted on the useless billboards?

Says the guy who posted a Down’s syndrome elephant with 12pt font on a billboard no where near the campus it targeted, and raised 36 dollars and a half eaten taco for hurricane relief.

I did and look at at all the hurt feelings it’s caused. Who knew a little billboard would russle so many jimmies? If it’s this bad over a little billboard, I can’t wait for the glorious meltdown Saturday night!

Useless? The message was all over sports talk shows all week. We've got an interview on the radio tomorrow morning

Is Devin White still suspended for the first half of the Bama game or did I miss something? Okay.

The billboard’s size is fine. It’s the font that is too small. I see why this came out so shitty for you.

It’s about changing the rule for next year, dummy. We all knew Devon White would not play in the first half no matter what we did. It was about college football as a whole.

Are you saying the Bama billboard is not useless because it gave you this thread, but the LSU billboard, which sparked national conversations and raised 60x the money for charity is useless?

You're my new favorite.

We knew the chances of them reversing it was less than 1%. This wasn’t about Alabama, it wasn’t about winning or losing, it was about the SEC officials making a horrible call/review. The signs are to start a movement to change the targeting rule to allow for grey, because as of now if the helmets even remotely touch during a tackle it’s targeting. There is zero regulation in place to protect the defender if an offensive player turns their head, or even intently lowers their head to draw a targeting. There have been servers called/not called that were very questionable.

Those that say it did nothing haven’t a clue. The national media is still talking about it and that is what the goal was. To start a movement to allow for an amendment or an appeal process.
