Approaching the seventh anniversary of the last notable moment in Raiders’ history, it appears some disgruntled fans have decided to do something other than hide behind their Darth Vader masks.

A group of Raiders fans have pooled their money and frustration to start the website MessageToAl.com. And on Tuesday the group unveiled a message to Raiders owner Al Davis on a billboard near the Oakland Coliseum on Interstate 880.

Though most Raiders fans would probably support the billboard’s demand, I’m not so sure the eccentric owner would go along with it (provided, of course, he even sees it).

Until Davis somehow realizes he no longer has all (if any) of the answers, the Raiders will be waiting quite a while for that next great moment in franchise history.
