Is it just me or are "cowbell rules" a moving target ?

<span class="pp"></span>"An unnamed cowbell-ringing Mississippi State fan was ejected from the MSU-Austin Peay game in the first inning by uniformed and armed stadium security. </p>

</p>

The fan apparently got his bell back, but was not allowed to return.</p>

</p>

“My understanding is he got ejected for smarting off to the officer, not for ringing the bell,” Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin said.</p>

</p>

Georgia Tech officials told Stricklin that artificial noisemakers are banned from NCAA Tournament games."

Seems like we never hear the same interpretation twice.</span></p>

SEC & National Championship- put on Homeland security banned list & confiscated without search warrants in homes.

10 or more wins- cowbells banned for all eternity from football games & metal detectors placed at all gates for sporting events.

6-9 wins- another vote next year in Destin

5 or fewer- "who cares? MSU is losing & they don't make much noise anyway"

P. S. The Cowbell- the only SEC tradition not banned by the 14th Amendment, 1965 Civil Rights Act, or 1929 Geneva Convention.

P. S. S. There areplenty ofRebel flags,Mullets, toothless dubmasses, & silly stupid cheers at Klan Rallies.......but no cowbells.

unless the hosts explicitly says that cow bells are welcome then I leave mine at home. A few years ago when we played Georgia Tech in football in Atlanta my family and I went to the game. That morning we were walking around the stadium and I watched and listened to the gate attendants teaching each other how to find cow bells. It was entertaining to see them spending time on this and the worried look on their faces that they might miss a few.

but NCAA baseball games are not road games. They are tournament games. While it may be played on GT's field they can not make up their own rules for this one. I don't know of any NCAA ban on noisemakers anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if there is something for baseball but my guess is the GT folks are just lying out their asses.
