Last week marked my return to making signs for the FOX Sports Big Noon Kick Off show, so here are a few of the 40 signs I made. This week I am challenged with coming up with 40 more for the Colorado vs Nebraska game. If you ever wished that you could have a sign appear on one of those games, here's your chance! Send your ideas to me, and I'll create the sign and send it (it's got to be suitable for a television broadcast). The catch is I need the ideas by Wednesday at 2pm in order for me to get them made and shipped in time. Have FUN, be CREATIVE! And then watch for your signs on the FOX Big Noon Kick Off on Saturday September 9th.
