From the rumor mill:

There is apparently a survey that went out to the students asking if they'd be willing to take a reduction in price for tickets in exchange for no cowbells at the games.

Is this for real, as in Official? My inclination is that auburn is being a complete ***** about the cowbells. Does anyone know?

That doesn't sound possible.

Somebody getting trolled or we have idiots running the place.

I can't answer your question, and I'm not a huge fan of cowbells. But participation in "ring responsibly" was huge at the Auburn game. If Stricklin said there were 25% violating the policy at the A&M game, this time participation must have been 99.9%. Fans did a very good job. Auburn is complaining because they lost, but the cowbells didn't have all that much to do with it. We just outplayed them.

It's a research project for a class. We got asked to complete the survey before the A&M game by a student. She walked up with 3 ipads and me and 2 others did it. Nothing official by the university.

I had a class in the mid 70's where we had to do something similar. A Business Policy class I believe. My survey tested students knowledge of venereal disease. Had to come up with an interesting topic otherwise many wouldn't respond. We got a lot of responses.

Lots of complaining about the cowbells but it was more about the ringing in the ears a day later to go with not being able to sit down from having your butt kicked than blaming the loss on it. THERE HAS BEEN NO tying the loss to the cowbells in my circles and most folks admitted that the noise level at least diminished to a less obnoxious level when Dismukes was over the ball. I would say this was a troll as I have seen or heard no complaints about the cowbells affecting the game on AU boards. IF there were complaints I dont think it came from AU.

No, complaining about cowbells prior to the game was followed by complaining about officiating after the game. Whiners gonna whine.

I in fact received this email, it was from the MSU announcements address. It was from a prof in the Dept of Ag Econ. Needless to say I responded against such a measure, especially when the reduction they referred to was 3.75 a seat per game. (.75 per game for students.)
