Dunno how it sounded on TV, but

I thought we did a great job 'respecting' the bell last night.

I listened to radio...I'll rewatch it tomorrow with the TV crew probably.

It was very obvious on TV. Loud as hell on TV until LSU's line got into position, then a sudden quiet, then loud as hell again once the ball was snapped.

on tv it was easy to tell when the bell stopped and the yelling began. thought it was just as loud either way.

Well, I'm still hoarse, and ears are also still ringing, and shoulder is sore. It was a great night.

Yeah, but we aren't supposed to ring until the play is dead.

Thought this was incorrect, but I looked it up and you are right. That's definitely not how the majority are doing it.

Sounded great on tv. And i disagree with other poster. The switch to yelling is still just as loud and a cool dynamic change.

I am still mad i couldnt make it

From a tv view it was interesting how quiet it was when we had the ball. On a few plays you would have thought you were watching the PGA not an SEC game.

 

[RocketDawg]

Probably because very few know that the rule is like that. I didn't.

 

[Dawgzilla]

It's simple, really. We are allowed to ring our bells any time that the bands can play and/or music can be played over the PA. They don't play music during the play.

I used to try to ring after the play, then I started ringing once the ball carrier had been wrapped up, and little by little experienced bell creep myself until I realized I was ringing shortly after the snap.

I hope the Conference is okay with bell ringing once the ball is snapped. Doesn't seem like it would be a big deal.

Everyone in my section (lower section, west side), except for maybe a handful, rang until the center was over the ball and then switched to yelling. It was a winning effort all around

I should have been more clear in my previous post. This is what I meant; not that the bells started right after the snap.
