When asked by local reporters about grow-ing up in the Magnolia State, Troy University offensive left tackle Jarred Fleming took an opportunity to sound offon MSU’s treasureds chool symbol, the cowbell. “I don’t own one of those things, those God awful devices,” Fleming told The Dothan Eagle on Monday. Fleming, who resides in Louisville and was a MSU fan growing up, has started seven of 14 games at Troy since transferring from East Central Community College. While at Louisville High School, Fleming earned first-team All-State honors after leading the Wildcats to the Class 4A state championship. Southeastern Conference presidents and chancellors voted Friday to continue the cowbell compromise established two years ago. The provision allows the use of cowbells at football games in MSU’s Davis Wade Stadium. The policy on artificial noisemakers allows fans to use a cowbell only at Scott Field during pregame, half -time, between quarters, timeouts, after scoring plays, and during possession changes. According to the wording of the rule, MSU fans aren’t allowed to bring a cowbell into an opponent’s stadium, or to ring one in an opponent’s stadium.
