Ok, we need an office for operations. Trying to do it in a live blog is hectic and ideas get lost. Here is my proposal for a media barrage and message spreading campaign.

1) Continue to occupy the Stanford blog as a home base

2) Take over headline stories on the home page that get more traffic, and thus would be a larger disruption to ESPN's operation

3) Set up email campaign to ESPN employees, media partners, etc.

4) Email local papers, national media (USA Today, CBS, NBC, SI, etc.) tell them the story

5) Social media barrage, share the comments section, hashtag the movement, create conversation with this platform

6) Inspire other small shop bloggers to cover the story, take up the AAC's case

7) Do not quit, never ever give up

Please feel free to share what you think we should do, also, if anyone has a comprehensive list of ESPN employee's emails, please share in this forum. Thanks.

Start locally. We can start in NC with the David Glenn show. I'm sure DG would pick it up.

Done, emailed

We are off to a good start. I've contacted Dan Woken and Awful Announcing on Twitter. We need to attach this from all angles.

I see where people are organizing a "hit time" of noon for the ESPN SEC Blog site.

Storming the SEC lunchtime links will either create and enrage SEC fans or cause the racket that we're after, or both. Might lead to mass bans. Are you ready to be a martyr for the cause?!

UConn folks are emailing/tweeting the Horde as I type, and responses are trickling in...

I've already been banned twice. You can pretty much create profiles for eternity unless they are going to resort to IP bans. If I don't get banned at least 2 times today then I pretty much failed.

Banning people from public discussion is immature and Orwellian

Well you've certainly got the attention of our President:

It's not going unnoticed. It may not work, but the second you start letting people take things from you without a fight is the day freedom dies.

I really like this effort guys. lets do everything we can here.

If someone has the power to ban, then it's obviously not a public discussion forum. It means someone owns it.

Obviously the forum is not public, however it is limiting free speech. Its very big brother'ish. Especially when I have ESPN employees visiting my LinkedIn.

I just created an ESPN account under John558068, password AskAresco

Go nuts.

12 noon we take over the SEC lunchtime links blog at ESPN.

Just emailed DeadSpin

Someone needs to come up with a mass email list. I will email everyone on the list, it I knew who to send to.
