Cow bell ban?

If MS was a championship contender every year like Bama, Clemson, would there be more outrage over the cowbell advantage. It's a unfair advantage against opponents trying to call audibles and only MS is allowed to do this. If Saban ever lost because his team missed an audible, the ban would already be in effect. Is it the fact that State is a non factor in the Natty race that allows them to continue? I really don't care much about it but, would a ban cause rioting in the street for this great tradition?

We'll never know.

Honestly, I went to Starkville two years ago and will be there tomorrow. They do a great job of stopping the bells when they're supposed to. And the people who don't get shamed by everyone around them.
Edit:
That being said it is the worst experience in the world being in that stadium as a visitor.

I bet you WOULD 'care about it', IF you ever attended a game in close proximity to a few of these cow bell ringing MORONS...LOL

When the score is 35-0 early in the 2nd quarter, the cowbell ringers will be filing out quickly.

Jump out early and punch them in the mouth and the bells will not be an issue.

The ironic thing is that the majority of elite athletes don't want to play in front of a bunch of cowbells because it's such a dumb tradition. That is why moo state will never maintain a consistent top ten team. If you're an elite athlete and you're surrounded by teams like Bama, LSU, Georgia, Florida etc, why on earth would you choose a bunch of cowbells unless you have ties there?

Traditions are what makes college football special.
The cowbell, while stupid, is an 80 year old tradition.
Moo State fans have been good with the compromise rules.
If not, ref throws a personal foul on the fans, 15 yards and 1st down.

Maybe we could ask Matt Wyatt if they've ever been penalized. We could also ask him how distracting it is.

Honestly dude, don't know and don't care. Let them have their cowbells. It's their tradition and while annoying to us, we all have our traditions that may be annoying to others. It's part of what makes college football special.

Not true... they stop before the offense becomes set.

The bells are no worse than the band playing shrill, off-key notes up until the snap

They were ringing the shite out of them in 2015 when they almost beat us. I’m sure 2017 was even worse

As far as a city goes, Starkville kind of sucks. The people there are great though. I have alot of family from Mississippi that went there and everytime I've gone, the people have been nothing but nice. Alot of farmers that go there for AG and engineering.
The stadium is VERY loud for 50-60,000 people because of the cowbells. I know there's a ban on noise makers but this has been a tradition for too long there and should be grandfathered in. It's not like theyll be winning a national championship ever. There's just too many schools around them absorbing their in state talent.
Good atmosphere, good people, cant wait to beat them.

MS state fans are a pretty considerate group as a whole and, while aggravating, I wouldn't say it results in much of advantage at all. Honestly, they don't yell much when they are ringing cowbells, so we may be better off!

Noisemakers should be allowed in every SEC stadium or none.

The last time I was there I was sitting near the endzone that didn't have stands and a kid kept ringing that thing in my ear. I asked him politely to not ring it in my direction. He did it one more time and I threw it into the tree that's right by the stadium.
the guy then proceeded to freak out b/c it was apparently a family heirloom that had been passed down
