I was thinking this morning—and yes, I think too much—I believe it would be great if the athletic department at Mercer would invest in two or three billboards featuring the men’s basketball schedule (this could be changed from season to season to reflect other teams’ schedules such as baseball, soccer, etc… depending on the neighborhood).

I think near Geico would be a great place; maybe there could be like a little electronic ticker to say something like: MERCER HAS A HOME GAME TODAY – SEE YOU THERE!

I also believe I-75 and North Macon (around the new mall) would be great locations.

Another thing I have noticed is that when I am in Athens or Statesboro I cannot walk into a business without seeing UGA and Georgia Southern Sports schedules (the little fold up kind) for customers to take. These things are at gas stations, tire stores, doctor’s offices, chiropractor offices, law firms, gyms, etc… I have only seen similar Mercer schedules (and it was for women’s basketball) at one location in Macon—At Kenetix Gym in North Macon. I think it would be great if these schedules were distributed around town.

These are just ideas. Let me know what you think or if you are so inclined forward the information to the appropriate personnel—
