I get that it's tradition (not sure why though), but do y'all wish your fans would just leave them at home this week?

You finally get college gameday to come this week (first time ever I believe), you're going to be in the national spotlight, and your fans are gonna drown out that spotlight with a wave of clamoring cow bells.

People from all over the country will tune in for this. These people know nothing about Miss State. They have no clue what your mascot is. They have never heard of Starkville in their life. They are gonna turn on their tv and get overwhelmed by redneck vuvuzelas and not like you forever based on this alone.

MSU & Alabama - leave the cowbells & pom-poms at home

if they're dumb enough to think they're cool, then they're dumb enough to bring them for gameday

At least Ole Miss brings the Frat Factor....


MSU brings us country bumpkins, cheesy slogans, stolen traditions
(and mascots), and years of suck arse football.

They are shakers, you can not stir drinks with a pom pom!

Jorts did more to damage the SEC then all the cowbells will ever do.

I have never owned/used one. But I don't get embarrassed about it. I just never felt like lugging one around + I have seen people get hit in the head by drunk people waving around a cowbell.

Who are we kidding?

All the college sports fan traditions are stupid. but a tradition of stupid brought out only for a specific event amongst a large crowd of like minded individuals is how beautiful memories are made.

beautiful, stupid, memories.

This Gameday is going to work against State. We just hosted the best Gameday of all time and had the best Guest Picker of all time. I can't think of who State is going to get for a guest picker, and their fans are loud and obnoxious as shite. This will be the perfect Exhibit A and B for Ole Miss vs State, and I'm simply thrilled they're hosting Gameday.

I've never owned one. I don't mind them.

But embarrassed? Only immature people with insecurities would be concerned about trivial matters. But it does make a good target for other fanbases.

OP, are you embarrassed that UF copied its big cheer from MSU? Yeah, that's right, the "Chomp" was something MSU was doing in 1979, and UF copied it. I admit it works better for the Gators, but still...
