Sounds like we paid a lot of hard-earned money for a real clunker. That's kind of our thing these days.
Pretty much, Jackson began pushing the handle to make the cowbell swing. It wasn't swinging. I guess it had the brake on.... then he pushed it harder and harder and the thing rolled off the 2ft box (or what it was on) and fell over.
I do not have video but I took this pic from east upper deck right after the fall (fail).
The whole night summed up in one picture.
I actually told the folks sitting by me that this was embarrassing and kinda mirrored the direction of the program, in general. Little did I know what would follow for the 2 quarters we stayed, and the rest of the game.
Right as it hit the ground fog rolled out of the top of the handle, it was awesome.
I saw that but I wasn't sure what it was ha. The look on Gabe Jackson's face once it tipped and he knew it was going over- that was funny .
Ole' Gabe was riding that thing so hard, I thought it was going to come apart!
Speaking of - I might be in the market for a new cowbell. I'm family with battle bell. I've seen the Bully Bell in all of the shops. Is it good quality or cheap clacker like the ones I've seen prevalent in stores over the last couple decades?
I'm a fan of Bully Bells, and I'm definitely biased. Bully Bells are good quality, although the lead clapper has been known to break off after a good hard ringing (I cannot apologize enough to that old lady in Austin, TX). Marc Anthony hand welds the handles on in his garage in Starkville -- he's been featured on ESPN a couple times.
I don't envy @aTotal360 - it will be a difficult decision going forward deciding whether to post this or the fog machine entrance photo**
This picture is a great example of what we are right now.
