    Cowbell ringing after the snap

    Could the cowbell give the players a heads up on pass/run?

    East side rings if it's a pass. West side rings if it's a run?

    Just following up to get a conversation started about it.

    Not my call, but I'd stick with the "free pass" on artificial noisemakers...

    And just how are 63,000 untrained fans supposed to determine the playcall?

    It's just noise. It's got be something like ring for one, don't for the other.

    The students will finish ringing before the the alumni start.

    That cheer went from one of the best to the worst. It's embarrassingly bad. If they can't get the rhythm right in the Friday night practice before the first home game, they need to can it. They're done way too fast. They should be finishing "you're damn right" just before the chant starts over. I have no clue how it got sped up so much but they need to just kill it at this point. It was really good in basketball when it had rhythm.

    Hack I agree with you. I hate the cheer now. My wife who is a bama fan and doesn't understand the cheer keeps telling me I am doing it wrong... No sabanite you and those milleniums are wrong.

    Why are the students so fast. It wasn't that way when I was up there. I hope they are not fast at sex.

    I?ve been telling myself they?re doing that on purpose just to be dicks about it. They can?t really think it goes that quickly.

    the problem is that they do it as the same speed they do it on kickoffs.

    They are doing it on purpose because it bothers everyone. Told to me by a student.

    OMG
    Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

    I say we ring once if a pass, ring twice if a run. Once a guy goes in motion just the student section rings. If we see them changing the play...east side rings. If we see its a play action pass then only the west side rings.

    Naturally, this would confuse the fans when it's play action because it initially appears to be run but turns into a pass. Thus, we utilize our phone flashlights to signify to the athletes we are changing our call from run to pass. We do this with morse code. Hand over flashlight...two short, two long.

    There is no way this fails. Great plan....

    I see all of your points. I just thought we could discuss it and it would lead to something. Let's just ring randomly after the snap. It helps save your voice for before the snap.
