re: Slive said that we violated the Cowbell Rules

Well I was only at one game at DWS it was Kentucky and the last three minutes almost everyone was ringing a cowbells so that doesn't really match up with "few tards"

I was at that game as well. The state fans did an amazing job that day of not ringing. Dan Mullen gave a speach before the game. When the players approached the line, everyone would stop ringing and then we'd start screaming. I felt like we did great. The yelling that day was louder than the bells. Whenever a play was approaching, I would turn around to see if I could see anyone ringing. I was sitting about 20 rows up so i could see a lot of people behind me and there was one, single person who was too much of a tard to stop ringing. He was trashy and his bell barely made any noise because it was about 80 years old. By the end of the game, everyone had ganged up on him and he had stopped. I know there were probably a few others but I have talked to a few people who were on the field the last two home games and you could not hear a single cowbell on the field. The problem is that the bells face upward and the audio on television picks up the sound in the booth. A whole section can have three cowbells ringing and it sounds like we are breaking the rules, which technically we are but if we can continue to ring the way we did at the Kentucky game, I don't think it is creating an unfair advantage on the field. Now the Auburn game is a different story and I feel like this year will be the same. It will take a game or two for all of the fans to start getting it right. We'll just have to wait until the pre-season AD meeting to find out what will happen. If they ban them again, it will go right back to how it was a couple years ago. No one will do anything about it until we beat Auburn or LSU to start the season and people will start bitchin. Who knows what will happen but I thought we did an excellent job the last two games of this season.
