The Southeastern Conference has asked the University of South Carolina to limit the use of the popular "rooster crow" at all future conference home games, it was announced today.

According to conference regulations, "The use of institutionally-controlled computerized sound systems (including music), institutionally controlled artificial noisemakers shall be restricted to pregame, halftime, postgame, after a score and team or media timeouts."

“The sound of the strangling chicken" was more than visiting teams could bear,” said SEC Commissioner Mike Slive. “At one point the Auburn offense had to call a time-out because their offensive line had convulsed laughing and their right tackle and pee’d his excellent Nike pants.”

Mark Richt, head coach of the University of Georgia Bulldogs said, “it is unfortunate that this losing program embarrasses this proud conference with not only their play and their fans but they broadcast the sound of a chicken being torn apart by a tiger during games. This is a proud conference and we won’t stand for it.”

His comments were echoed by Phillip Fulmer, Head Coach of the University of Tennessee Volunteers who lamented, “the Ol’ Ball Coach has got himself in one heck of a pickle down there in Columbia. But that don’t excuse the use of that silly-a$s "Chokin’ Chickin’" sound on the loudspeakers.”

"We are certainly disappointed that we have to limit the Gamecock crow, as we know it's a crowd favorite," said Jeff Crane, USC Athletics Marketing Director, "but obviously we will comply with the Southeastern Conference rules and regulations."

This lamented but lame sound will still be heard at the times deemed appropriate by the SEC which is currently in negotiations with Clemson’s Athletic Director, Terry Don Phillips. Clemson has indicated that it is willing to broadcast the “Sound That Embarrasses the Southland” at the conclusion of this year’s annual Clemson smackdown of the struggling GameCocks. Mr. Phillips commented, “While our athletes and fans recognize that defeating the GameCocks has become an annual rite and there is some sentiment that our rival is so seriously broken it has lost it’s meaning, we are considering one short blast of “The Castrated ####” to honor this team that, although defeated once again, remains, ‘Next Year’s SEC Champs.’
