BongoTones.com announces today the official launch of the “Hail to the Victors: 106,201 Campaign”, a grassroots project that aims to set a new world record for most ringtones played simultaneously. The campaign plans to bring together 106,201 University of Michigan students, alumni and fans to download “The Victors” ringtone free of charge to their mobile phones prior to the Ohio State-University of Michigan game at Michigan Stadium on November 21, 2009. During the game, shortly before halftime, all fans in attendance will be invited to play the ringtone to generate unprecedented noise and support for the University of Michigan football team. A Guinness Book of World Records representative will be present to verify that the event indeed sets a world record.

The campaign is being carried out for three primary reasons: a) To support the University of Michigan football team and generate excitement among the fans in order to stop the 5-year losing streak to Ohio State University; b) To, for a moment, take the minds of everyone off the dire economy in the State of Michigan and put a smile on our faces; and c) To show the entire state and country that great things can be achieved in Michigan if we think outside the box and create innovative ideas.
