Dem Birds 10,566 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 In one of my prior posts, where I said I teared up a little from pride.......that was my wife who wrote that....she hijacked my account and wrote that....I swear. :unsure:That's my story and I'm sticking to it.I didn't tear up from this, but I teared up from the message Rev sent along with it about how proud we are of our team and our future and what not.

Dem Birds 10,566 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 How about this - What if I auctioned off the opportunity to give the final check to Coach Smith. Would you bid on that?I wouldn't, just because I couldn't afford it anyway, but that would be a great idea and lots of others would bid on it.Do you know for sure that the opportunity to give him the check is there?

Would you bid on that?Meeting Coach Smitty in person? Very cool! I'm in Oregon though, so you can't count on me. I like the idea though.Thanks again for doing all this, Rev. 21 Falcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dem Birds 10,566 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I didn't see that. Is that in another thread or something?Yeah, I saw it in the Big Ups to Rev thread, but here's the post...I don't deserve any props. THis is all about you guys!!!! You are the ones making this happen.We will be getting some media love here soon, and with the donated items, we will easily surpass the $2300 goal!Thanks to all of you! This is not anything I have done. It's about the fans, and about Coach Smith.This is a quote I sent to a reporting this morning:You have to understand that we as Falcons fans are in uncharted waters. We are on the verge of our first back-to-back winning seasons in franchise history. We have never had any sustained success. For the first time ever, we are serious contenders. It was Coach Smith and Thomas Dimitroff that brought the winning formula to our organization. There is no amount of money we could ever collect that would appropriately show our appreciation for what he has done here. 21 Falcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
malk 17 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 You should also do bids on having your name on the front page of the falcons website (if you can do that) and maybe bid on a pair of falcon tickets to the next home game.Sadly I am broke as a joke until next week so I cant give anything .

sporkdevil 1,027 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) I think we might need some "Save Smitty" photo, with a bar graph showing the $ progress.Edit:Something like this, with Smitty photoshopped in.

I’m not saying they’re going to flush your money down the toilet, only that it’s a tad unseemly to solicit people’s money over a fine that does not exist.

Infinitepwnz 461 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I've been listening to Buck and Kincaid all afternoon and have yet to hear any mention of this.
