I for one agree with this after visiting Starkville, having those things rung in your face is an experience that changed my position on the issue.

Good, I'll be there and probably pissed-off. Besides they didn't work too well for the Rays.

Also from his tweets:

I would take Bama for -6. Those are pretty interesting to see.

I've always wondered if there was a site, run by actual oddsmakers, that would do point spreads on hypothetical matchups. Just to see how Vegas' formula compares them.

Seems like Florida would prefer the cow bells over the inevitable boos from their fans.

Good. They are on a par with vuvuzelas in their inappropriateness and obnoxiousness.

It depends on where your tickets are located. Not many people ring them in the section where I sit.

I've had friends come back from that game with splitting headaches having to endure the cowbells for a couple of hours. I for one will be glad when they do away with it.

At the Bama game in Starkvegas last year, when MSU came out in the black jerseys, everyone excited by Mullen, and the biggest crowd they ever had, all expecting to upset us...the cowbells were so loud that they sounded like a fire alarm going off in your brain.





It was much quieter at the end...

Maybe you should have sat in the Auburn section instead of in the Middle of MSU fans.

I wonder if they got the maximum fines after the AU game. I do not remember reading anything about it.

We win a couple of games this year and now all of you guys are pissed off and want our cowbells banned forever Give us a break, its a freaking tradition and we have alumni/boosters that will GLADLY pay the maximum fines.
