• Change your Facebook status to “Billikens vs. B.C. this Saturday at 1 PM — don’t miss this BILLIKEN TRADITION.  Good luck guys!”
• Change your Facebook picture to the picture below.
• Make announcements in your classes and meetings
• Print off the (above) poster, and hang in in your room/window/somewhere people will see it but that doesn’t have to be approved.
• Anything else crazy but legal you can think of that will get people stoked for this game and unveiling!
