Tonight I thought I had them by the short hairs. 20 minutes before the first pitch, I made tonight's stadium security chief pull up the rules on her cell phone. There is a list of prohibited items, and as you would expect signs are mentioned. But, the paragraph lists the prohibitions as: signs on sticks, poles, covering parts of the stadium, or blocking fans view. Nowhere does it says signs are not allowed.
The zealot that was running security then told me that NCAA security people had told her they were interpreting the rule to say no signs at all. I then pointed out that I had seen signs both today and yesterday at the Long Beach Regional, and questioned how multiple signs were allowed there, but not at Goss. She implied that each stadium could set its own individual policy. I told her that was a ridiculous statement, and that she was being unreasonable and grossly unfair. She refused to budge, even when fans standing in line pleaded with her to let me and my signs into the stadium.
So, I once again left them outside the stadium, and entered madder than I have ever been at a baseball game. I literally could have chewed nails. If my eyes were laser beams that could cut, I'd have disemboweled the woman. What a crock. I told her that this was not over, and that I was determined to get my signs in this coming weekend.

According to the NCAA documents, OSU was to have submitted a security plan to the NCAA as part of hosting the regional and super-regional. I cannot imagine that plan said no signs whatsoever. This has to be a supervisor acting on their own.

And, the Beavers WON. So, who cares?
If I was sitting in your area I would be getting a little tired of someone trying to get attention all the time.

ItIs Too bad that we Care more about Self than others. I actually don't care a lot because sometimes they are funny. I get Tired of signs about the sux when we really not worry about them. Golden Rule should apply without us getting Mad or questioning Daves Mottives. I don't understand the policies 'but I would never tell someone they Can't,but I wouldn't want it blocking any ones view of Game. It is not a big issue to Me.

Seems to me the only way to get around this would be to go over stadium security and talk directly to the AD.

This is some pretty high level enigma level stuff going on. better get our top experts on it! |

Rollen Fredrick Stewart (born February 23, 1944), also known as Rock'n Rollen and Rainbow Man, is a man who was a fixture in American sports culture best known for wearing a rainbow-colored afro-style wig and, later, holding up signs reading "John 3:16" at stadium sporting events around the United States and overseas in the 1970s and 1980s.[1] He is serving three life sentences in a California prison after being convicted of multiple kidnapping charges after a 1992 incident.

Different players stepped up at crucial times to help the cause. YESSSSSSSSSS! Beaver Pitchers, even when they didn't have best stuff, made key pitches to work through jams. YESSSSSSSSSS! Defense was spectacular. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! |

My seatmates enjoy my signs, and encourage me to use them. And so does the team. They can read them from the dugout. And they like them too. The signs are a way to fire up the crowd, the team, and show the opposition how passionate a fan base we have here in Corvallis. I usually do not aim them at the other guys in particular, unless they are the ducks. |
