Official NCAA rules for Super Regional: No Cowbells

[Good2BGold]

From The Tennessean:

Vanderbilt has two infamous whistlers, Jeff Pack and Preacher Franklin, at its games. Opposing fans, and some Vanderbilt fans, hate their loud shrieks. But those natural sounds, just like yelling or cheering, are permitted.

Mississippi State fans are known for ringing cowbells in support of the Bulldogs, but those are specifically prohibited. The NCAA Super Regional rulebook says, “Artificial noisemakers, air horns, cowbells, electronic instruments, etc. are not permissible. Stadium management is responsible for removing such instruments from the stadium.”

Earlier this season, Mississippi State announced via Twitter an official ban of cowbells at its newly renovated baseball stadium, but not all fans followed the rule. This weekend, the Super Regional rule book says cowbells "shall be removed upon discovery."

Are we allowed to cheer? Good grief.

Can we get them to say "we need more foul territory, knock down the football stadium."

I thought the reason the SEC keeps letting them bring cowbells everywhere is that it wasn't considered polite to ask the fans to remove their necklaces.
