 When Southern Cal’s players gaze into the Cavalier Nation on Saturday, they will find no sign of bravado, insults or irony. Daddy Hoo is tired of your signs, regardless of whether they praise or malign. Administrators sent out an e-mail to all University students last week that lauded “the passionate support” of the student body that creates a “fun and exciting atmosphere.” But buried in the outlines of policies and procedures for sports tickets, administrators included a terse new sign policy: “Beginning this year, signs are not permitted inside athletics facilities. Thank you for your cooperation.” The decision comes after a student’s “Fire Al Groh" signs were confiscated during last year’s home-opener, though officials didn’t let on whether that incident had anything to do with the change. |
