re: The origin of the cowbell is a better story than the 12th man.

Also why where you players deployed to fight the spanish american war in 1932? it happened in 1898 and was like 3 months long.
Do you have a diploma from LSU?
In military science, perhaps?
I'm just curious...

Well, you couldn't send a cow to fight the war so luckily there happened to be one in the locker room that could be suited up to play football. Hence, why a cow was used and none of the guys who left to fight in the Great War.

This reads like the synopsis for some shitty direct to video prequel to Angels in the Outfield.

What war were we fighting in 1932?

I agree if true

I am trying to figure this out.
Because the OP says Spanish American war, which was in the late 1800's, and it is 9 years before Pearl Harbor and there were not drafting people until the 1940's. So i am trying to figure out why the MSU players couldn't' get out of military service to play the game instead of a cow.
I am sure there was some involvement of the US military in 1932, but the players weren't there because their families were too poor to get them out of it.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Was it over when the Mexicans blew up the USS Maine at Miami Beach?

So you cheat with artificial noise makers now, because you cheated with a large cow possibly endangering the lives of the other team in the 1930's? Also why where you players deployed to fight the spanish american war in 1932? it happened in 1898 and was like 3 months long.
Holy shite please tell me you believed the part about the cow

Did the cow get a statue in her honor? That's a better story than the A&M dude who suited up and stared at the game for a few hours.

Not reading all that, but here is my two cents:
1. Who believes this cow bell story anyway?
2. Any legal eagle can tell you why A&M receives $5,000 from Seattle for using "12th Man". It's not about starting a twitter war, it's about setting precedent. Because if you don't protect it, then you can't keep the copyright.
3. People who visit the Alamo think is not that big of a deal when they see it, either. What remains is not a very large building at all. Doesn't mean it wasn't important to those people at the time.

I'm not going to read your entire response.
But #webelieve the cowbell story.
And it's a much better story.

Well, it was the 1932 Egg Bowl, the entire stadium was shrouded in fog and the ground was incredibly moist and muddy from two weeks of relentless rain. Our salt-of-the-earth football team was undermanned from many of the players being deployed to Pearl Harbour to fight in the Spanish-American war
Just like Moo St to be 33 years to late. Spanish America War was in 1898. So this whole story is bullshite.

That's not even the real cowbell story
Some woman named Beatrice, a MSU fan, was so ugly her father tied a cowbell around we neck to warn him when she was near.
During a Ole Miss football contest, she was drunk on Mississippi moonshine, stumbling into the middle of the field.
Ole miss players, seeing a opportunity to do their most favorite activity, stopped playin and started taking turns on old Beatrice, mistaking her for a real cow.
As the Mississippi State players ran up and down the field on Ole miss that day, all their fans could remember was that cowbell clanging as Beatrice continued to take it up the butt from those nasty rebels
This the cowbell was born as a MSU staple
This was told to me by Cristal or whatever his name was FWIW
