The current record is 6,768.
My question is, how do they not already have this record?
My guess? Once the numbers get into triple digits, most State fans start getting a headache.

I'd probably wear some earplugs if I had to venture to cowbell land.

I have to think that people would have splitting headaches from clanking them all game.

You silly country folk amuse me.

It's obnoxiuos af, but they are in Starksville too, so cringe is the way of life.

I honestly don't understand why State would do this. It is just a matter of time before it is no longer allowed. Bringing attention to it and trying to have more or make it louder is only going to expediate a rule against it.

I’ve been to a few State games and the cowbells aren’t bad in the stadium, really. When they are rung in unison, it’s like loud white noise. Now, when you’re walking along and someone randomly starts clanging away, it’s startling and annoying.

+1 to this. It was annoying but not overly so back when Davis-Wade was just a large high school stadium, open at both ends. Now that it's partially enclosed and they've added several thousand additional seats, the noise is ear-splittingly loud.

The History and the Compromise
The Ban: The SEC banned all artificial noisemakers—including cowbells—at football and basketball games in 1974 to prevent unfair disruptions and maintain competitive fairness.
The Enforcement Struggle: Despite the ban, Mississippi State fans continued smuggling and ringing cowbells in Davis Wade Stadium, leading to ongoing tensions, confiscations, and warnings or potential penalties for the university.
The 2010 Compromise: The SEC voted to amend the ban, creating a regulated exception (known as the "cowbell compromise") that officially legalized the traditional instruments under strict operational guidelines.
Oh so... not enough people go to the games at Starksville to make noise on their own. Now I see.

Mizzou fans are well-grounded.

There is already a rule against artificial noise makers... except MSU has an exception for the bells. Which begs the question, if there is a formal exception, is it really a rule? Shouldn't rules apply to everyone?

We're in the Southeastern Conference yet here is Mizzou, exceptions are made all the time

The bells are not to be rung once the ball is set ready for the next play. They can be rung after the whistle blows ending the play until again, it is set ready for play. On the video board they have a place on there telling you to either "yell" or "ring". Also, there are videos on the board played randomly before and during the game with famous former State players and alums(like Dak Prescott) telling you to "ring responsibly" and explaining the artificial noisemaker rules. Now, does everybody "ring responsibly"? Well....

I thought you knew that State runs the SEC. Nothing gets done without our say-so.
