from an ESPN article about the a-hole in Omaha Kristyna Engdahl, director of communications for MECA, which manages TD Ameritrade Park, said that Franklin was approached after "an onslaught" of guest complaints both inside and outside the stadium. She also said there were a number of calls and emails from people unhappy with the whistler. Ballpark policy, Engdahl said, prohibits disruptive noisemaking of any kind.
www.espn.com/college-sports/baseball/cws/story/_/id/27012091/cws-quiets-vandy-whistler-amid-complaintsDoes Goss have such a rule? They can't have such a rule. Half of us would be watching the game from the parking garage. The parking garage may not actually be a bad strategy in this case. You get a pretty decent view and probably won’t be able to hear the whistler. 👍🏻 |

I sent the Athletic Department earlier this morning, a link to an article describing this jerk. And the trouble that he has caused the last couple years. The rest of the teams in the SEC hate him. He has been physically assaulted multiple times at games. Just what we need at Goss. I asked them pointedly what they were going to do to keep this guy in control. I don't want a repeat of what happened in Scottsdale last night. I was mad enough to spit nails last night. I have never told another fan to F himself before, but I yelled that at him last night, from only a few feet away. After he repeatedly refused to tone it down. Let us know what they say..my guess it will be blah blah blah..nothing we can do... So far, they have promised to forward the info about this guy to the facility folks. I told my contact that that wasn't good enough. That I wanted the name of the head of stadium security, their contact info, and some assurance of what they were going to do when this guy shows up and starts being a dick. He's not going to ruin my weekend. |

I don’t remember the same response to the super Irvine fan. |

So the athletic department is suddenly going to be customer service oriented? They couldn't bother to tell season football ticket holders that the visitor section changed but they are going to do something about a guys irritating whistling? Good luck.

If I remember correctly, he got on the field right as a game ended, and they threw the book at him. He later adopted Fullerton as his team. |

I don’t remember the same response to the super Irvine fan. That’s a friend of mine. Keith. He’s a good dude. He just roots for his team. He’s not belligerent. If you had a beer or soda with him you’d think same. He’s not only UCI fan. He follows CSF… and some JC teams down in SoCal. He just likes good baseball and is fan of baseball. one thing I love about hosting regionals is seeing teams play and meeting new folk. It’s baseball. A game. I’m looking forward to it. But kinda pissed about weather forecast… we’ve had a lot of rain. All year. Or threatened. It’s time for at least a little sun. |

Was kicked out of Fullerton and became an Irvine fan. |

He is a good dude. We have tipped a beer or two together. Passionate about baseball. |

We can’t even drink his bourbon with him. |

No Vandy Whistler at this afternoon’s game That is a good thing. And just as soon as that game ended, it started to rain. Now we have a steady rain. Going to be wet tonight. I don't see how we're going to get tomorrow night's game in, quite honestly. Heavy rain is expected. Not if that forecast holds. |
