Looks like the crowd is following the rules

“Between cowbell times”? What does that mean? The only time we can’t ring is between when the center touches the ball and when he snaps it. Are we not yelling then?
I’m watching at a sports bar in Tulsa, so I don’t have audio.

We are yelling our *** off at the rest your bell. It's just all you asshat state fans that didn't show, is the problem. I mean 40k state fans v 20k UT fans can only do so much.
Sounds like the good “staff” section seats sold out to the opposing team again.
You know what it means. When you can’t ring. It may be loud as hell but it sounds quiet on TV
My voice is shot. I lost the clapper from one of my bells. And can't feel the thumb on my right hand. I did my part.
Back in 2014 during those big games it actually go louder when people quit ringing and yelled. Cowbell noise has always been overrated by our opponents.
Probably true on point 1.
You just forget how it was when things were rockin because of so many down years.
We know the rules and abide mostly but damn it’s infuriating to hear our fan base ring pre snap when we are on offense and facing a 3rd or 4th down. Total lack of understanding the game.
The answer is not necessarily more fans and more cowbells. The answer is optimization of the existing cowbells. 99.9% of cowbell ringers ring their cowbell with the open end of the bell facing up. This directs the loudest portion of the Clang upwards and into the atmosphere. If all the ringers would ring their bells with the open end of the bell pointed at the field, the volume of noise would increase considerably. And we call ourselves engineering school!
