It would now be nice if Byrne would challenge this rule with the SEC. I'm sure we'd lose the challenge but it'd be nice to see us try.
Other teams have a problem with our Cowbells, especially when they can use them as an excuse when they lose to us but I have no problem with them coming up with their own tradition involving a noise maker if they so choose. Just because they don't have a tradition, don't take ours away. Get creative and come up with something of your own instead of making lame excuses for losing.
