Brandon Marcello of the Clarion-Ledger reports that Mississippi State has been informed by the SEC that its fans are violating the league’s cowbell policy.
Of course, Kentucky visits Mississippi State on Saturday night.
Writes Marcello:
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State University’s cowbell compromise for home football games might be finished after a one-year trial.
The Southeastern Conference has told MSU officials of violations of legislation the school introduced in June that allows cowbells to be used during certain times during games at Scott Field.
The SEC is expected to levy financial penalties against MSU at the end of the year, MSU athletic director Scott Stricklin said.
Stricklin says fans “have not managed it right to this point,” when discussing cowbell etiquette during MSU’s first two SEC home games.
The AP also has a story on the cowbell controversy.
And here’s how an MSU fan really feels about the cowbell issue, as compared to on the fence newspaper clips.

Did anyone really expect anything other result? Since the compromise depended on MSU fans actually READING THEM, it was doomed from the start.
Let’s see if I can help. SEC says no artificial noise makers in stadiums…Hmmm, why not just take them from any of the fans stupid enough to bring them to the stadium at the gate, just like they do when I happen to be finishing a diet Coke or if you try to bring in a sign larger than 8 X 10 inches–also an SEC rule.
