"Fans who do engage in foul language or "curse-like" words, including the use of similar-sounding words or switching sounds from one word to another, are subject to removal of the site of competition.

OK, seriously for a minute.  They're banning "curse-like" words now??  That's crossing a line and entering the realm of Thought Police here.  I sanitize my language by substituting curse-like words for actual curses so as not to offend people who either hate cursing at games or have small children.  

So if one screams "Fark!" or "Fudge!" or "Sugar!" or "Crud!" or "Blerg!" to use some generic examples...someone may shout these in the same manner that they might shout out a recognized curse word.  Which of these are OK?  Which aren't?  Why?

This is ridiculous.

Gosh dang it, that's boat ship. Dandy Joel is a real tadpole.

I would definitely encourage the use of "Blerg," preferably by the entire crowd.

Was there no candyman and no costume for Dave part of our punishment tonight?

A lot of people are less upset about the swearing ban, but rather the fact that Lynah is slowly adopting a police state atmosphere. For the two winter break games, the ushers in A would walk around and stand right behind people, including myself. I can tell you that having that overzealous evil woman from section A standing behind you for 5 minutes really detracts from your ability to enjoy the game. They threw somebody out last night for calling the goalie by his first name. This kind of garbage is unacceptable.

If someone can corroborate that (e.g., the victim), I would be very interested to hear about it.

According to a friend who went to the coach's lunch on Friday, Schafer joked that his kids still think the cheer goes, "Scooby-Doo and Harvard, Too!"

:-D

When our son was very young, we used to yell:  "Boo BU"   That worked for a very long time.  ::whistle::

I would love to know of anyone who gets thrown out for a 'curse-like' word or for substituting sounds. As a new grad student with way too much time on my hands, I would enjoy filing charges with the Judicial Administrator for violating people's freedom of syllables.

So what did you tell him the metal piece of hardware with helical spiraled threads is called?  A twisty nail?  Wait, no.  "Nail" could also be dirty.  ::innocent::

Hell, I'd consider taking it on as an attorney pro bono.
