Cowbells at Bowl

[rynodawg]

It’s being reported on twitter that MSU administration has been advised that cowbells will not be allowed at this years bowl game, citing NFL security rules.

I know in grand scheme, it matters very little, but I don’t like this precedent being set. They would be our first bowl ever to not allow them (as far as I know), and almost all of the bowls are in NFL stadiums nowadays.

If it’s NFL contractual thing, why can’t Bowl or City just send quick email saying ‘Dear Titans, we would like to allow cowbells into the stadium for this single, non-NFL event. Please let us know if you object.” I promise they would not care, just like the Buccaneers did not care last year.

For that matter, Cohen could send that email to the Titans. Shouldnt be hard to get done.

We are the visiting team. Therefore, we don’t have the cache to influence the Titans organization. Louisville, as the Home Team, can request the Titans stick to their policy also.

There’s no actual visiting or home team for bowl games. One team is just designated ‘visitors’ so that one of the two teams will be wearing white road colors.

Must be a new NFL rule because our last two bowl games where in a NFL stadium and the cowbells were welcome. I suspect they are blaming the NFL or the NFL only applies that rule certain stadiums due to crime r something.

Who calls the coin flip?

They usually have one side for each team. The side that lands face up wins the toss. Have you not seen this every year?

Thanks, nashville.

Meh. I bet this will be a non-issue. I expect an official State or Music City Bowl PR will be released in the coming weeks embracing the tradition.
