We are going to use 4 different mediums to appeal to different audiences on this subject. Logan is working on an ESPN article that will appeal to, obviously, all of the sports fans around the world. So many guys are constantly getting updates on their phones/emails through the ESPN website, which means they're always checking it. It will be a good way to get this argument out to that population.
Tracy is working on a letter to the BCS selection committee. This letter will be talking to the 'higher end' people in the BCS selection process. Hopefully persuading them to consider TCU as a viable candidate. This audience is narrow, but it's still very important to make sure that these important people know how much everyone believes TCU is deserving of a spot in the championship game.
I am working on both a Fan page on Facebook, and a billboard. The Fan page("Support TCUs Drive to the National Championship") is going to be a good way to get the word out to the younger population. Almost everyone ages 25 and under have a Facebook, and if we invite as many friends as possible to this page, it will get noticed. Also, obviously all of our TCU friends will be in support of this, and it will hopefully get them rallied to expanding this argument out. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join this group! The billboard is also something important I'm working on. We haven't decided on our favorite picture yet, but we're just going to have a huge(legit) picture from a TCU game, and one or two words on it that will make a statement. Obviously, it has to be short enough so people driving by will be able to get the main idea of the visual. This is a powerful way to appeal to the Fort Worth/Dallas community in support of one of our home teams going to the National Championship.
Overall, things are going great so far, and we're all really excited to keep expanding on this project.
It seems like yall have a really thorough grasp on this project. I like that you have chosen to think out of the box and appeal to 4 different audiences since this is topic that is so relevant in our community!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting topic, especially due to the big news that just surfaced today. I think it may be interesting to discuss if the change of conference for TCU would have occurred if there were some sort of playoff system.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing your group's presentation! I don't know very much about this topic as I don't watch football or any sports for that matter, so this will be informative and interesting!
