Yep, the real reason was just as I said.
It did involve Auburn & that was the excuse. Game was in Jackson, as were most of the State home games with Auburn in those years.
If you go to the game Saturday, you will see & hear the "inconceivable" with your own eyes.
But, NOT by me, Auburn runs a snap like ours; leg lift instead of clap.

Not surprised to see that urban myths are still being repeated. There have been plenty of fights over the decades that involved the use of cowbells, but your version is nothing more than revisionist history.
Not glad to see adolescent behavior that is likely to lead to having cowbells outlawed (again) by the SEC.
Maybe you'll be the first "fan" removed by security -- see Scott Stricklin's comments below:
One of the not-so-cool parts of last Saturday was the 25 or so percent of fans who continue to ignore the rules on cowbell etiquette. This totally perplexes me. Dak Prescott doesn't need fans ringing when they shouldn't to make a dazzling play for our State. Bernardrick McKinney doesn't need fans ringing when they shouldn't in order to deliver a crushing tackle.
Why anyone who professes love for this university would ring their cowbell when they've been told not to do so is beyond me. It's selfish and disrespectful, two things Mississippi State does NOT represent. When you ring at times not allowed, you are telling Mark Keenum, Dan Mullen, myself and thousands of Bulldogs who have worked hard to legitimize this great tradition at our games that you don't appreciate their efforts, and that you're willing to risk having cowbells removed from Davis Wade Stadium altogether in the future.
A vast majority of our fans follow the rules governing artificial noisemakers (which says they can be rung except when the center is over the football). To those of you who do so, thanks. If you see someone disregarding the rules, do me a favor and ask them to stop. If we continue having this issue, security will be deployed to either remove offending cowbells, or the individuals who are ringing irresponsibly, from the stadium.
Remember, we are allowed to bring cowbells into Davis Wade Stadium because the other 13 SEC schools voted to allow it. If we continue to have problems following the rules, then they may decide to rescind that privilege. The last thing any of us want is to have to install metal detectors at the gates.
I appreciate everyone's diligence with this important issue.
