Would that be a penalty?

My understanding is that State has some special dispensation from the SEC that no one else had.

I don't know if it would be a penalty but it would be funny as hell seeing them bowtie wearing goofs with a cowbell in their dainty hands.

Not if the ringing stops once the center puts his hand on the ball. Same as our place. Sort of like the band was supposed to do that Lane complained about and caused the loss when they were in Oxford.

According to Chatgpt, only State can do it - "The interesting wrinkle is that Mississippi State's cowbell exception is unusually specific, which is why you don't see Tennessee fans bringing thousands of cowbells into Neyland or Alabama fans doing the same at Bryant-Denny".

Yeah I’m sure that’s the only reason

It's State. It's like letting handicapped people park closer.

State gets to use cowbells until they hit and opposing fan with them

I’m fairly confident in saying cowbells are only allowed at DWS home games.

Imagine the blisters on all those soft little hands.

Stadium first aid stations would be overrun.

I love that question...we should bring them to our game with State. They are the most annoying thing

I love how opposing teams think this would make MSU fans mad. Maybe you should play our fight song too. That would really piss us off.

It’s really stupid to allow one school this option and no other


It’s the SEC though so not shocked

They don't need them. They pipe in music right up to the center putting his hand on the ball.

For what its worth...

We (Mizzou) had an opportunity to win. Several times we drove the ball downfield, and because of odd play calling and good defensive stops by State, we couldn't hang on and win. We knew it would be loud, but good teams overcome obstacles like that.

Let them ring the bell if they want; good teams will overcome it. .

Absolutely state should have to adhear to every ones rules or let the rest of the conference use cowbells if they want to. Shouldn't give state special privileges just because historically they have been a bell average team.

Every school in the SEC does this.
