Hello Clones, this is Mark Charter from the Friday After Work podcast.
Last year I made a bet with my buddy Gabe (huge Hawk fan) on the outcome of the Cyclone/Hawk basketball game. The loser of that bet had to wear a sandwich board for an hour at a busy intersection in Ankeny. Gabe lost and his sign said "I stupidly bet on the Hawks" and on the back it said "Go Clones".
You might remember this as it made the news and Murph and Andy interviewed him as well.
This year, we are upping the bet and the loser has to buy some ad space on some digital billboards around town.
Here is my question, if Gabe loses again, what should the billboard say??? Also, it will include a picture so what should he have to do in the picture???
But please remember that if the Clones lose I will have to do this so be somewhat nice, but I am looking for suggestions. If I pick yours, I might just throw you a prize as well.
Please help and post some suggestions below!!!
Go Clones!!!

My friend and i do a bet (for football) where the loser has the opponents mascot head cover on our driver for a year, we play a lot of golf and its embarrassing.

I have been trying to do a bet for bball where the loser has to get ISU or Iowa license plates with some slogan. He has yet to agree

I am not sure on rules regarding players images, but the georges sipping tea in front of the image of him beating the Hawks last year is a classic. Something with that and a never bet against niang slogan or something would be good.

When we win, a picture of Gabe wearing his hawk hat and gear holding a sign that says "As a Hawk, I have to accept this is THE CYCLONE STATE!!" If Gabe is frowning in the pic, better.

Not sure why you need help embarrassing a hawkeye fan. They embarass themselves quite easily.

The football and basketball scores on either side of him wearing Cyclone gear, with "Cyclone State" underneath.

On a related note, my grandpa (a Hawk fan) still has ISU plates on one of his vehicles from a bet he lost with his neighbor way back in the McCarney era. His neighbor at the time? Paul Rhoads.

How about having your friend "re-assigned" to another department at a salary of $164,000?!!!

The sign could also read "We lost our super bowl.....AGAIN!!"

the loser must have the opposing teams mascot/logo shaved into ther head. The stimpulation is they must keep it that way for at least one week. Then on the digital add space, you could have a message to the efect of: "I lost a bet, two years in a row. You think I would learn." With his picture of the new hair do.
