8-8 Forever? Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Down here in the DC area, the Maryland football team (mascot: a terrapin, which is a turtle) have built up the motto: "fear the turtle". Kind of goofy at first, but has caught on and now 20million people know what that means. It helps that the team is also good. My point: if we can build up Fitz by spreading the "Fear the Beard" motto, media all along the East coast will make the association, know what it means, and run with it. Someone put the sign on the wall at the Ralph Sunday with "Fear the Beard" on it... may even get Fitz to start growing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJPearl2 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I think the San Francisco Giants have the rights to that. See Brian Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsRUs Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 speaking of which... I believe 103.3 WEDG will be handing out fake beards to everyone on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) I think it's great that 20 million more folks now know WTF a terrapin is - I lived in the DC area for 4 years (including a brief stint in Silver Spring, MD - not far from College Park) and never knew (Still don't know what a 'Hoya' is, either!) Problem is, we already have "FEAR THE 'STACHE" - courtesy of the nice kids at Pitt that founded The Fighting Wannstaches...

DC Billin' Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Where do you Maryland/DC people go for the games on Sundays? You can find me in Adams Morgan at Grand Central watching the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, we already have "FEAR THE 'STACHE" - courtesy of the nice kids at Pitt that founded The Fighting Wannstaches... I believe "Hoya Saxa" translates to "What Rocks!" in latin. Supposedly some historical figure was sailing the potomac and was remarking about the size of the rocks along the river's edge. At least that's what i heard about a zillion times when I lived in DC from Georgetown students who will talk about how awesome their school is to no end... I always thought "fear the beard" was a bad idea for a team from San Fran.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 Wide Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 To build off of what BillsRUS said, 103.3 is going to be handing out fear the beard signs at their tailgate.... you hold it up to under your nose and there is an outline of the beard.... then below it says "Fear the Beard" http://www.wedg.com/article.asp?id=2285010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites Bay Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 He should clam up with that beard suggestion... Really bad, Scott. In a mind-expanding sort-of-way, but really bad. "Isn't it a Pity" - George Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devldog131 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Put this together a couple weeks ago... and "Fear the Beard" is more of an NHL playoff thing than a SF Giants thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Put this together a couple weeks ago... and "Fear the Beard" is more of an NHL playoff thing than a SF Giants thing. The thing is, this is the sort of campaign that isn't necessary if Fitz really stays consistent. A string of games like last week, and the Fear of Fitzbeard will arise quite naturally. On the other hand, this is the sort of campaign that is "to be feared" 'cuz if Fitz lays an egg (Avert!) it just looks stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
