This rule has been stupid. I haven’t read any rules trying to silence “the 12th man” at aTm.

Articles were from 2010 and 2013, before the rule was created. At least you tried.

That's not "artificial" noise. Fans can yell as loud as they want the entire game.

So after the ball is snapped, we can pump in loud noises ?

But the Bulldogs misbehaved this season and now have to pay a $25,000 fine for defying the SEC’s Artificial Noisemaker Policy, conference commissioner Mike Slive announced Friday.

article is from 2013. You were wrong. Just admit it.

Easy way to fix this - in real stadiums with real fans that actually make noise, like UT, AU, UF, UGA, LSU - all the fans should bring airhorns when Miss St comes to town. Force the issue. If those pathetic fans want to bring artificial noise makers to their home games, they can deal with the same when they go on the road.

The SEC needs to stop treating Miss St like the retarded kid you allow to have uncontested layups because it hits you in the feels. Hammer them in their droopy pendulous tits and make them abide by the rules.

Well if we haven’t followed the rules, how come we have seen any fines or consequences?



I just gave you two examples. Who is the "stupid" one?

If you were following the rules the conference wouldn't feel the need to pass this proposal.

During the one year probationary term, Bulldog fans are asked to follow these guidelines in an attempt to permanently be allowed to carry cowbells at home games.


So your saying that we didn’t adhere to the rules during the probationary period and then the SEC permanetly allowed them after not following the rules? Sound logic there.

This “proposal” is no different than the rule that is currently enforced. Just a clarification of the center being over the ball as opposed to touching the ball. It’s like none of y’all read OP’s article.

You were fined on two separate occasions for two different seasons. You obviously weren't following the rules.........just like Auburn has been fined for rushing the field. You don't get fined if you are following an accepted rule.

Got it. So we don’t follow the rules, but the SEC allowed them permanently. Makes sense.

We implemented our own new rules three years ago (2015 season, math is hard) and the SEC seems to think we’ve done a pretty good job, they’re just implementing our own rule conference wide.

what a moronic argument. You do realize that stadiums can play music up until a certain point, right?


ETA Your reading comprehension is piss poor. The SEC did not say you couldn't use them. They just stated that there is now a definitive time the noise must stop...........so there is no gray area any more.

Just curious, why do you care so much? Are you one of those fans who says State’s atmosphere sucks then in the same breath say that it’s unfair to have cowbells cause they’re too loud?
