Thanks to the 15,000+ MSU family members for attending #CowbellYell, including the 5,748 people who broke @GWR record

So am I thinking correctly when I say almost 10,000 people showed up without cowbells? If so, why would you show up to an event to break a cowbell record with no cowbell?

Well some people either A. Stopped ringing during the 30 seconds or B. Didn't take a cowbell to a cowbell rally.
Their was a whole section of people that didn't take a cowbell. I am sure we had more than 5748 but the count was difficult to say the least.

Also I would like to add, the lady from Guinness was pretty hot. Sign her up for something.

In understand that 5748 is the needed number to actually break the record. There were probably 15k bells. Plus the band and non cowbell section. The bands #s didn't count either. At the end of the day we demolished the record

Recount!!
When i saw that i thought the same thing. 10,000 went to watch 5,000 + set the cowbell record. Awesome fan support but not really believable. And photos of the Guinness girl or it did not happen.

Let's break the record again at halftime of a game. You have to ring for, what, 5 minutes? That would eat up most of halftime and piss off the band, but we would put the record out of reach. Let's do it next year at the Auburn game just to really piss off their fans. And ESPN.

GWR has to have officials there and as I understand it, getting the Guiness people here was half the battle.

640ish was the old record. The GBoWR people counted the cowbells as they came in the stadium. Not ringing really wasn't an issue. So in the stadium there were 5,748 cowbells.
