Do away fans bring in their own obnoxious cowbells to give the MS St fans some of their own medicine?

If not, I think it should become a thing. frick Ms St and their cowbells.

It's rather unbalanced, how they are allowed to have them.

Trivia question though ... what is the only game, since the 30s, when they were not allowed to have them nor enter the stadium with them?

I'm guessing it was our game against them in 2001, the first college game (Thurs night) after 9/11?

That was also the game I was thinking of too.

It would have to be that. If not, I recall the SEC almost pretending like they were going to enforce the no artificial noisemakers rule once. It didn't last, so maybe whenever that was a few years ago.

I also remember a game shortly after that rule went into effect. The fans were told that if the cowbells were seen while entering the stadium they'd be taken so everybody just put them in their back pocket.

Yessir ... cowbells were not allowed in the stadium that night, although I still saw one or two. But security was so tough getting in that night it was like trying to go through airport security. I had never seen so many pocket knives in a five gallon bucket before that night, and that was just at my gate.

Normally we might enter the stadium thirty or forty-five minutes before a game ... but that night everyone started two hours early because the lines were so long passing through the screens and being patted-down.
