USC fans send death threats to Coliseum commission

If for some reason you need another reason to hate USC and its fans, here it is. From today's LA Times (emphasis and ellipsis mine):

The bitter standoff between USC and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum intensified Thursday as members of the stadium's governing board reported getting death threats from angry fans while legislators worked behind the scenes to revive negotiations.

...

A Coliseum Commission executive said his office received scores of "incredibly threatening" phone calls after USC posted a letter on its website urging fans to complain.

Some of the commission's nine members said they had been harassed too, and at least one has canceled plans to attend the regular-season finale against UCLA on Saturday.

"I've gotten many, many calls along the following lines: 'Hey, Mr. Chadwick, hope our paths don't cross. Understand you're married, you've got three little girls,' " Commissioner Bill Chadwick said.

This is classless and uncalled for. Plain and simple. Add this to the list of reasons why USC fans are intolerable.

THUG ON!

Despicable. Making reference to someone's wife and children. Disgusting. Unfortunately, Bruins are all too familiar with the shenanigans down at Fig Tech. Beurlein put it best when he called them those thugs from SC.
