PLEASE RING RESPONSIBLY. Our administration has worked hard for our cowbell tradition.One of the not-so-cool parts of last Saturday was the 25 or so percent of fans who continue to ignore the rules on cowbell etiquette. This totally perplexes me. Dak Prescott doesnt need fans ringing when they shouldnt to make a dazzling play for our State. Bernardrick McKinney doesnt need fans ringing when they shouldnt in order to deliver a crushing tackle. Why anyone who professes love for this university would ring their cowbell when theyve been told not to do so is beyond me. Its selfish and disrespectful, two things Mississippi State does NOT represent. When you ring at times not allowed, you are telling Mark Keenum, Dan Mullen, myself and thousands of Bulldogs who have worked hard to legitimize this great tradition at our games that you dont appreciate their efforts, and that youre willing to risk having cowbells removed from Davis Wade Stadium altogether in the future. A vast majority of our fans follow the rules governing artificial noisemakers (which says they can be rung except when the center is over the football). To those of you who do so, thanks. If you see someone disregarding the rules, do me a favor and ask them to stop. If we continue having this issue, security will be deployed to either remove offending cowbells, or the individuals who are ringing irresponsibly, from the stadium. Remember, we are allowed to bring cowbells into Davis Wade Stadium because the other 13 SEC schools voted to allow it. If we continue have problems following the rules, then they may decide to rescind that privilege. The last thing any of us want is to have to install metal detectors at the gates.
