South Carolina Still Whining

From the story:
"After the SEC put a muzzle on South Carolina's rooster crow a couple years ago, USC athletics director Eric Hyman was surprised to hear Alabama pumping up its crowd last weekend with what the SEC refers to as artificial noise.

After Alabama played the opening bars of AC/DC's "Hell's Bells" before a few first-half plays in the Crimson Tide's 20-6 victory against USC at Bryant-Denny Stadium, the SEC is sending a memo to all conference schools this week reminding them when pumped-in noise is permissible."

Anyone else ready to get rid of the cowbells at State this year?

sounds like spurrier

has gotten crotchety-er.

so exactly when IS pumped-in noise permissible? i’m pretty sure we played hell’s bells before every single one of arky’s 3rd down plays. and likewise, ole miss did the same during their game with us.

geez…

I think the cowbells have been officially banned, but....

…they still seem to turn up at Mississippi State’s home games.

If the security guards actually gave a damn...

They wouldn’t have any cowbells.

"Seem to turn up"

It’s a cacophonous din without equal in the SEC. Everybody has them it seems.

I miss the elephant trumpet

Everyone is playing hell’s bells

I wouldn't piss off the boys from Alabama . . . DBT

Everyone is playing hell’s bells

Others are doing it too. I think Kentucky did it at our game.

Oh and FWIW, I hate that elephant trumpet. The cartoon they have doing it is even worse. It’s like a combination of claymation and low rent CGI.

Don't you dare...

…denigrate claymation by comparing it to that awful feaux elephant noise.

And I know it’s widespread, but you really can’t go wrong with good old AC/DC. If they’re gonna stick with one song, I’d prefer TNT…I love the idea of 90+ Tide fans shouting, “Oy! Oy! Oy! Oy!”
