As Expected, "Zero Tolerance" For Friday Night

[quote Willy '06]I happened to be at the volleyball game instead of the hockey game last night. Andy Noel was there for the first hour and he need to get over himself. He sent one of his goons (some ugly lady) to tell us fans that first we were not allowed to repeatedly tell Penn to focus, but it was ok to dance during their timeouts. Then we were told that dancing is now banned too. Finally, the goon came over again and said that any sounds (yes, any noise whatsoever) directed at Penn would get us kicked out. This guy is a nut job. He needs to go.[/quote]

Willy, Why dont you guys just leave? I mean if all the students walk out of the volleyball game, maybe he will stop harrassing you.

Because my girlfriend is on the team. Because other guys' girlfriends are on the team. Because in the past 3 years the Volleyball team has been 26-5 at home and 18-11 on the road. We are there to support the girls who work so hard to succeed at their sport.

If we leave, we'll just be sending volleyball back into the category of teams with no fans. Andy Noel doesn't care. From his actions, you'd think he wants to kill any fan presence at Volleyball games. He started charging non-students two years ago, students this past year, and now he wants us to sit on our hands and be quiet. Maybe next year we'll need background checks before we can attend the games.

Leaving is not an option for us.

I'd be curious to see if Andy Noel is this strict and unaccommodating at wrestling competitions.
