He said that you could definitely hear them during the games and that it would be really loud if the endzone was bowled in. The reporter went on to ask him how the fans sneak them in. I just feel like this is a hit piece waiting to happen, and the proper answer would have been "what cowbells?"

I'm fairly certain we are the only conference to do so. As mentioned elsewhere, there has been no attempt to enforce the rule since the NCAA's action. It will certainly be interesting to watch.

Just curious, because I really don't know the history of noise makers and I typically don't follow schools outside the SEC that much, but are there any other schools that use anything similar to cowbells? If not, that would explain why no other conference has addressed them.

But I'd tell the rest of the SEC to go 17 themselves if I were you. It's part of your tradition and history. The conference should just drop the rule and be done with it already.

Couldn't hear them, though. The cowbells were too many and too loud.

I think Hoddy Toddy is annoying, same goes for Rocky Top, Pig Sooey, and I'm sure more that I'm forgetting, but I don't think they should be outlawed.

Posts: 227 07/23/08 03:57 PM	I thought it was texas tech that had cowbells because of that video of the texas tech bell ringer. http://www.whoomp.com/articles/44/1/Texas-Tech-Bell-Ringer-Video Plus quote below from this link http://www.amarillo.com/stories/110101/spo_aggies.shtml "This year, the Aggies hope to quiet the Red Raider crowd and their clanging cowbells. Cornerback Jay Brooks isn't an admirer of Tech's fans." Maybe texas does too I moved here about three years ago but have not been to a Big 12 game yet.
