I like Miss State. If they beat us I hope they end up #1, but are those cow bells legal or not. I thought the SEC had some rule about artificial noise makers.
Cow Bells; WTF

Cow bells are an exception to the rule against artificial noise makers.
They are allowed to use them at home but, they are only supposed to use them between plays.. They are not supposed to ring them during the play.
Hambone, why do they get an exception, any idea? Why not just do away with all artificial noisemakers, period. The SEC is my conference but sometimes. as in this case they are too tradition-minded. Just do away with all artificial noisemakers and problem solved.
Some may argue that 100,000 voices in unison are also artificial noise makers.
I thought the rule was that if the fans clanged the bells while the other team was lining up, it was a penalty.
To me, they are annoying, but I assume to a MS fan, they are not.

I was reading an article about it a few days ago.. It said that State asked for the exemption at home games based on it being a tradition...
And, the compromise was that they only ring the bells between plays.
