Today, the Capital One Orange Bowl committee announced that Mississippi State fans can bring cowbells inside of Sunlife Stadium for the game. They do encourage fans to ring responsibly, and to use the same rules that were put in place for Southeastern Conference play. As some of you may remember, the rule was that you can ring your cowbell until the center touches the ball.

The fans did a very good job of adhering to the new cowbell policy in home games, this season. With the ability to bring in cowbells into the stadium, Mississippi State fans will be able to turn Sunlife Stadium into a more homey atmosphere for the Bulldogs. With the game taking place at 8:10 PM local time, Miami residents may have a resonating cowbell sound all throughout New Years celebrations.

Scott Stricklin released a statement today in which he said, “We appreciate the Capital One Orange Bowl allowing our fans to continue a timeless Mississippi State tradition at this year’s game. Our fans did a wonderful job this season with cowbell compliance, and I know they’ll exhibit the same as a show of appreciation to the Orange Bowl.”

While many fans for Georgia Tech feel that the cowbell is a nuisance and should not be allowed in the stadium, others feel that the team will not be affected by the constant noise surrounding the game. Mississippi State fans welcome this announcement with open arms…er….cowbells. Let the CLANGA commence and never cease until well into 2015. If you need CLANGA, feel free to grab one from a local sales place or online. We need as many cowbells as possible for this game.
