We (all teams) have some jackass fans. I live in NC and work with 6 WF alum that went to the game Without having talked to them yet, I'm 100% sure they had a terrible experience based on people jumping in their faces with a cowbell. I will spend all week telling them we aren't all inbred dick heads and some of us have respect. The cowbell could be so cool
Our fans should have done a better job following the rules. I don't think there will be any direct backlash yet, but if we go to bowls in each of the next few years and they're all like this (especially if we play an elite team and beat them close), the NCAA could consider a rule against them.
That's an SEC rule only. NCAA does not care if we ring them or not. Even then, the SEC won't enforce anything.
I think we may be the only team in the entire NCAA that has any type of rule whatsoever about how artificial noisemakers can be used. Thundersticks get used bya lot of teams w/ no consequence of any kind. Bowls have always encouraged us to bring the bells to games even before the ring responsibly slogan came about. </p>
Nonetheless, our AD got the bowl to allow cowbells under the guise that we would follow SEC rules. Since it's only Wake Forest complaining, I doubt anyone will care, but a few years down the road, if this keeps happening, I could see bowls start deciding to not allow them, or even worse, the NCAA looking at the issue.
The rule is only an SEC rule. Not sure what authority the bowl game would have to NOT allow us to bring cowbells.
WFU split with the Baptist Conventions in the mid-80s. I don't think Baptist is the predominant denomination on campus anymore.
I can't wait to go to work on Tuesday and listen to the cowbell complaints.

not have been as bad.

People who lose attach the reason to something other than their team so they dont have to live with the reality that their team just 17ing lost and THAT is the reason they had a bad time.
Spend a lot of money to go to a game, and lose.
Refs, cowbells, stadiums, color of the other team's shoes, clocks, bands,

Just how many on their boards actually attended WF. What else I would be curious to know is just how many of them pull for Duke or NC in basketball. I deal with about 150 differentpeople from NC every year and it is surprising how many went to E. Carolina but are UNC fans.
I was just under the impression that Wake wouldn't have too much of any sidewalk fans. I'm kind of curious to know that now honestly.
The VAST majority of posters on the OGBoards are hardcore WFU fans (most attended) who hate all things Duke and UNC with a passion.
Wake people, then, are more like the NC State folks. Wake people generally detest the color blue in whatever shade.Big D said:
The Exec. Committee of the Bowl will hear Wake Forest's complaints about the cowbells and look a this stat: 55,000 tickets sold, MSU bought 45,000 andWake Forest bought 10,000; the Exec. Committee will state, "We love cowbells!"
that mentions the huge guy with the colossal bell, because I saw him too.
This thread makes several references and shows a picture of the guy, but the photo doesn't do him justice and doesn't show the bell. I bought club level tickets for face value through the Wake Forest ticket office and was in 242. Inside the concourse on the way to our seats we came up behind this guy and his wife -- the guy was a good 6-8, 325, wearing a St. Louis Blues jersey and jeans that kept falling down -- he had to stop twice in 50 yards to pull them up. He was either very, seriously drunk or a bit off plumb for other reasons, because his walking was very deliberate and his entire bearing seemed trained on the sole purpose of arriving at his seat, and his wife appeared to be guiding him steadily along. He was carrying, not a true cow bell as someone in the thread says, but a real no-**** ship's bell on a tremendous leather strap. The the bell probably weighed 40 pounds or more though, no doubt. Hell the strap alone probably weighed 5. I couldn't figure out what the strap was. It was of a size and girth that would have been ideal if you wanted to attach the bell to an elephant's neck.
The strap also held a smaller bell that clanged and jangled as he and his wife made their way to 243, as if it were in orbit around the Jupiter of percussion instruments, but when he rang the big bell you could hear it very distinctly over the whole northwestern curve of the stadium: DING!-DING! ... DING!-DING! ... DING!-DING! If he'd hit the person sitting in front of him on the downstroke, it would have meant instant death.
Someone posted this photo over there, but it's not good for much -- can't see the bell. Hopefully somebody knows this guy and his story.
If the guy in the photo below is 5-5, 150, the bell our St. Louis Blues fan was carrying could have been exactly this size:
Even though I don't really have pics, it absolutely happened. Tens of Wake Forest fans and I bore witness.

I saw and talked to the guy as well. It looked and sounded like a ship's bell and was huge. He told me it came off one of his cows.<div>Yep, he wore a St. Louis Blues jersey and he had not a trace of a Southern accent. I wondered if he was from Missouri, Wisconsin or Iowa.</div><div>
</div><div>I wonder if he just heard about our cowbells, grabbed a bell off his boat and then adopted MSU for a week.</div>
