Home Field Advantage....

MACMAN · Post by **MACMAN** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 1:26 pm

Alll this talk about Home field and intimidation has started a fire in me....
Last year 87 and I spoke about Cow Bells...all but to late to try and do anything.
Any one up for trying to get an early start on cow bells?

Could be loads of fun in cleveland and at home.

what do you all think?
for 4.99 this is the bell I used to have and tote to hockey games as a kid.

My first Clippers game was on Lou Forrest night. I was in first grade and loved ringing that damn bell. I went to a game a few weeks ago and I didn't see one bell and the song wasn't played.

I hear it's seldom played anymore. Actually that was a great song for a minor league team. And everyone participated - that's what you want.

Lou Forest? Is he still around?

I did a google search and apparently he goes by Louis de la Foret. He must have changed it when he hit the big time and went to CNN.

Technically artificial noisemakers are illegal at NCAA sporting events.

Mississippi State can't ring their trademark bells anymore, but I am not sure why ThunderStix aren't included in the list of airhorns and the such.

We have a guy with a wind up air raid siren from WWII or somesuch- he seems to get aaway with it but God, is it annoying. We also have more cowbell.

...and it's not really a noise issue, but that stench that eminates from the UT sections has to be a violation of SOMETHING!!!

I'm pretty sure the rule is handed out at the conference level. From what I remember, the MAC either doesn't have a rule or it does not enforce it.

The SEC does have a very strict artificial noisemaker rule and a couple of years ago they started enforcing it pretty hard.
