The Auburn folks tried that last year, did not work for 2 obvious reasons:
#1. Have you ever heard of throwing Brer Rabbit in the Briar Patch? Not gonna throw us off our game by doing something that we are VERY comfortable with and even famous for having.
#2. Non MSU fans have ZERO idea how to ring a cowbell and how to cope with cowbell related health issues. You must change up the ringing of your bell, some with a flick of the wrist, some with your elbow bend, some with your shoulder---if you only ring with your wrist you will be in too much pain to ring after halftime. You must endure cowbell ringing blisters, non MSU fans usually stop when their "hand starts hurtin". But most true MSU fans has thick calluses on their "cowbell hand" so blisters are not a big issue for us. I have been a MSU cowbell ringer for 25 years and I still need 2 extra strength Tylenol before the game or I will get a headache by the 4th quarter. Also ringing right handed for so many years has given me slight tinnitus in my right ear so I have to sleep with a fan on in the bedroom even in the Winter cold.
