Game day sign security?
I have a sign I want to bring into the game day area and was wondering if they check the sign for innapropriateness. Also, if they do (I'm assuming they do) what are ways around this? There will be no swear words on the sign, but I really want to get the sign on TV.
Would it be too obvious if I covered up the sign with a generic Go Blue and then tore it off after I got into the area?

How do you not tell us what the sign says?
September 6th, 2013 at 8:37 PM ^
Does it say Brian Kelly is a big poop head?
September 6th, 2013 at 8:40 PM ^
and my friend is making another sign.
September 6th, 2013 at 10:17 PM ^
This isn't funny
September 6th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
Ya, it is.
September 6th, 2013 at 10:46 PM ^
weak sauce......as the kids would say.
September 6th, 2013 at 8:42 PM ^
You expect us to help you out and you don't even tell us what it says?
September 6th, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
They have these guys walking around that do take signs if they are very inappropriate, or someone's phone number or a crude cut out.
September 6th, 2013 at 8:44 PM ^
all I know is that Carlos Hyde sign someone came up with on here better be at game day.
September 6th, 2013 at 8:47 PM ^
You are welcome

Carlos Danger>?

"Rudy's Mom Puts Out" will get taken away?
September 6th, 2013 at 8:49 PM ^
I hope so. You obviously lack inspiration. Hit up this week's GameDay sign thread for some ideas that are at least somewhat clever and insulting.
September 6th, 2013 at 8:51 PM ^
I think it's clever and don't really care what you think. I didn't ask for you opinion of my sign, just the security.
September 6th, 2013 at 8:54 PM ^
Your sign sucks!
September 6th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
You think that a sign suggesting that someone's mother is sexually active is clever?
September 6th, 2013 at 8:58 PM ^
ND fans love. Or I'm sorry I had to spell it out for you. Would you like it better if I wrote Rudy's Mom is a slut?
September 6th, 2013 at 9:14 PM ^
I would like it better if you employed humor beyond a middle school level.
September 6th, 2013 at 9:15 PM ^
Jerk Store is the line!!! I'm going with Jerk Store!!!
September 6th, 2013 at 9:17 PM ^
See, now this is funny!
September 6th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
Classic Costanza
September 7th, 2013 at 2:21 AM ^
I had sex with your wife.
September 6th, 2013 at 9:16 PM ^
Are you really so young and naive that you think Rudy is "a movie ND fans love"?
September 6th, 2013 at 8:58 PM ^
You know, it's going to be hard to see over the crowd if you're only 12 years old.
September 6th, 2013 at 8:59 PM ^
Insulting someone's mother is the antithesis of clever. Unless you're in 6th grade.
If so, then carry on.
September 6th, 2013 at 9:22 PM ^
10 year old me thought it was funny and then 34 year old me told me to be quiet and go do my homework.
September 6th, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
It isn't even an original idea.
September 6th, 2013 at 10:18 PM ^
your sign is awful and you should feel bad
September 6th, 2013 at 8:58 PM ^
Because she "put out" at least once.
September 6th, 2013 at 9:58 PM ^
About Rudy being in jail?
September 6th, 2013 at 8:49 PM ^
I'm not clever!
September 6th, 2013 at 8:52 PM ^
USA Today actually wrote an article about Gameday earlier this week. Here's part of the article relevant to your question:
no vulgar signs, no throwing objects, no religious signs and no political signs, among others. ESPN’s security team culls through the signs, removing one for every five that pass muster.
September 6th, 2013 at 8:53 PM ^
in one of the creative disciplines.
September 6th, 2013 at 9:03 PM ^
I went to gameday the last time and I had the tremendous sign with photo of the touchdown Jesus with photos of Michigan players, the gameday guys, and nd people , and they took it among others that had religious attributes. I think you'll be good if it doesn't have religion or profanity.
September 6th, 2013 at 9:05 PM ^
for the info.
September 7th, 2013 at 1:28 AM ^
Pretty sure I took a picture of it and made it my avatar.

Back in '07 we brought a sign in for the Penn State game that was fairly innocuous. They read it at the gate and let us in. But my roommate "snuck" a marker in as well. The front of the sign was an acrostic "A Bad Choice (ABC) of words, Holtz" since the day before Lou gave his pseudo-locker room speech to Penn State saying they would win.
Anyway, halfway through the 3rd quarter my roommate wrote on the back something about Paterno eating dirty butthole and held the sign up with the vulgar side facing the fans behind us. Yes it was incredibly immature but we still got some good laughter from our fellow students. And security never caught on.
Moral of the story: write something harmless on it, bring it inside, and then go to work.
September 6th, 2013 at 9:17 PM ^
how about: nd sux or nd is gay or Brian Kelly is dumb.... c'mon big guy do better. I'd pull your sign for lack of creativity
September 7th, 2013 at 12:28 AM ^
Got me rolling on the floor laughing. Nice.
September 6th, 2013 at 9:36 PM ^
Rudy's Mom put out...
But Lennay didn't.
September 6th, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
Even McNulty hates the Irish
September 6th, 2013 at 9:49 PM ^
Can you bring in signs with rods attached to get the sign up higher? or is that not allowed?
September 6th, 2013 at 10:25 PM ^
Rudy's mom likes signs with big rods.
September 6th, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
The Fig-Thing Irish can kiss our South Bend?
September 6th, 2013 at 11:16 PM ^
Is stupid, and you are a turd.
September 6th, 2013 at 11:58 PM ^
I don't think they spell check for you at the gate so just make note of that

"Rudy Was Offsides"
September 7th, 2013 at 12:17 AM ^
How about, "Rudy was guilty of an encroachment infraction, thereby nullifying his claim to glory and eradicating him from the annals of Notre dame lore." That have a good ring to it?
