I need your help, and I do not know how to get it done. I'm a MU Alum who works for a huge supporter of MU Basketball. My firm is called Cyganiak Planning, and we are the company who distributes the MU trading cards at the basketball games. Over the years my boss, Jon Sr., or as Homer calls him, BIG PAPA, has given the program a great deal of his time and financial support. I would like to do something for him Saturday which I think he and his friends will get a kick out of.
Here is what I need. I have a BIG HEAD picture of my boss that I need a student to hold up during the Depaul game Saturday. I would like to give the sign to someone who is sitting in the student section. I would be more than happy to drop off the big head to you on campus, and will even give you a few bucks $$$ to buy some beers, or books, or whatever.
Please let me know if any of you can figure out a way to make this happen?
Thanks Much,
Chris Martin

You may want to bring the big-head yourself and hand it to a kid at halftime (when the rest of the big-heads get handed out).
The students have to stand in line outside the BC for quite a while before the game. I wouldn't want your sign to get ruined because of the drinking and screwing around that goes on before the BC opens the doors... much less in the mad rush the kids have to make to get a good seat because it's general admission for them.

$$$ for books? Are you sure you're an MU alum?
Hmm, I could maybe help...
Thank you for your interest!
Gwaki the corporate whore!
The Cyganiak's are great sponors of MU basketball for a number of years. Thanks much to "Cigs" -- I do hope he gets this "honor" on Saturday.
However, reading the Topic only of this thread (slowly and thoughtfully), I figured there would be absolutely no takers on the offer.

+1 think it might be better though if those harry shoulders of yours stay away from this bighead. ;D
So it sounds like I need to walk it into the stadium myself and try to get it to the student section? I wonder if the BC will let me bring it in? Man....I did not think it would be this tough. Well, hopefully I will figure it out and Big Papa will be waiving in the student section. Maybe I will just call Homer. Thanks for all of the positive feedback.

What about contacting Athletics? I am sure you could figure it out with their help.
After all, last year I was the proud holder of Dean of the College of Engineering Stan Jaskolski's big noggin :D

You shouldn't have any problem bringing it in. We made one of my buddy a couple years ago and had no problem. If you have seats close enough, I'd suggest bringing it to the student section at halftime as said by somebody else. If not, ask the athletic department to help out as Rugby Drummer said. I know they've helped with Big Heads for major supporters before.
Like I said. I can help get it into the student section.
Still need someone.
I know Big Papa and I am quite certain he has been a big head before...I am quite certain little Papa has as well.
No , Big Papa has not. confirmed that with LiL Papa
