[BamaPride]

CSS is such a crybaby. :lance:

Spurrier is bitching WAY to much. Now he is complianing about Hell's Bell's? They need to get a grip and focus on winning game and not everything else..

 

[tidentrue]

would love to colect about 1,000 rolls of masking tape and sent it to the football offices at SC.......and a box of kleenex along with it

Let's be fair in this one.

Yes, they are complaining about the bells from the AC/DC song. But, this is the same school the SEC contacted about playing a roosters crow over their PA system.

If it applies to one school it should apply to another.

Penn Wagers made the comment today about having seen players use spots, dots, all kinds of things like this. When he's seen it, he's addressed the player about it.

It's common. It's just this story hit the media and sailed from there. Spurrier, Saban, Bama...these three items do make news stories.

if they cant enforce the cow bells at Miss. State then they need to ignore this and all other fan/stadium rules.

Agreed!

fify
Also, Bama didn't play Hell's Bells in the second half of the game, so that was self-corrected, no need for whining from Spurrier on that one.

 

[c5vetman]

the point of the rule is artificial crowd noise, like recorded music, rooster crows, etc...

Unfortunately, the cowbells are fan made, so that really should be allowed.

 

[UAgrad93]

I have to disagree about the cowbells being allowed. I believe the rule says state no artificial noise makers. Now unless you can make a noise with your voice to sound like a cowbell, then they aren't legal just like air horns.

 

[RollTideinGA]

Every ticket or stadium information sheet says that artificial noise makers are not allowed. Bottom line. Cowbell U shouldnt be allowing their fans to bring them in.

Heck on the MSU website, check out their fan guide, page 2 under Campus and Stadium Policies:

Crowd Noise/ Artificial Noisemakers
SEC regulations prohibit the use of artifical noisemakers.

So they choose not to enforce it.
