I'm Taking Cowbells With Me!

If Mike Slive had a backbone he'd make them get rid of those but he won't do it.

You'll also need some of these:

[AUenginerd 16]

Yes, I plan on taking some of those too. WDE!

Great idea! You will confuse their fans and they will start ringing them when their own team is on offense! Lol

Now that I think about it, it's a good idea. I imagine they'd fall victim too, especially if a large contingent of Auburn fans started rang'a'dangalang'n them annoying things.

If the visiting fans followed the SEC rules, it should be allowed. We are after all just honoring their cherished tradition.

Actually that could be quite a business in Starkville. Renting cowbells to visiting fans as they arrive.

That said, I don't remember ever seeing MooState fans with them at JHS.

Trust me, they have been there.

They are only supposed to ring the cowbells during the times the band is allowed to play. Not saying they abide by those rules but I heard it discussed by the Miss St. athletic director recently.

So, that doesn't apply to Auburn. Ring on boys and girls!

Not sure about JHS, but my husband confiscated a few of them at BDS. He would give them back at the end of the game but they had their orders to confiscate them.

Who does your husband work for that he'd be inside BDS and receive orders to confiscate cowbells?

The gate officials are supposed to confiscate the bells at JHS. But, like liquor, there are always a few that get in with them.

it looks like you are good to go with taking your own cowbells but not the bullhorn.

[AUsome_Tiger11 19]

I was actually going to do this since I got my wisdom teeth taken out just a few hours ago, but my oral surgeon said he wanted to have me ready to yell by Saturday!

WDE!!

Last time I went they took my shaker that had the little clacker on the handle, yet they let the MSU people clang those stupid cowbells away. Would not be surprised if they didn't try to collect cowbells from the AU fans as they enter the stadium.

I love the idea of AU fans taking cowbells to MSU. I wish it could be widely adopted for this week.

Did the "ring responsibly" crap from a couple years ago just go away? It seems like MSU fans never obliged so the SEC just gave up on enforcement efforts. Is the school fined each week like they should be? (I'm sure not...)

How in the hell does the SEC expect a bunch of raucous students NOT to ring their bells from the time the center sets up over the ball until the whistle is blown?

That is ignorance...

Guess all we need to do is show up with bells on...

MSU gets fined every year. The fines are structured so that the first offense (one offense per game) is a $5000 fine; the second offense is up to $25,000 per offense; and the third and subsequent fines up to $50,000 per offense. Last season they were fined a joke amount of $25,000 for the season. That is chump change for a major D1 football program. They break the rules every home game which would be four times every season for SEC only games and then another 3 or 4 games for non-conference games. Obviously, the SEC Office doesn't care about enforcing the ring responsible rule or the fines each year would be a lot steeper.
