Can you imagine Vols fans with those damn things? How loud would Neyland be then?

Honestly would be dangerous for your hearing. I imagine that even the 50K or so at Starkville ringing them is enough for long term tinnitus. I think that if the SEC wants to honor the tradition they should allow 100 or so fans to use them like they used to, but not the entire stadium.

You know they’d be banned if the schools with bigger stadiums used them

 

[Walkman]

Oh absolutely...as the resident band nerd, I think it's easier to prepare for the volume of cowbells that have zero bass to their sound than it is 102k screaming and stomping lunatics. Their fans will be ready to go. That being said the tickets to this game are cheap. I wouldn't be surprised if we have a lot of fans there.

5 of us will be there sporting the BIG ORANGE!

Rally the troops! 2 here, headed down on Friday.

When we've got them at home in 2027 we need a stadium full of orange vuvuzelas, just to make a point. Those abominable things they had at the World Cup in South Africa in 2010. A volvolzela, if you will.

I think all Vols gearing up to invade Starkville need to pack a checkerboard cowbell.

Mississippi State Could Have its Biggest Crowd This Decade On-Hand for Tennessee | Rocky Top Insider

If the sold tickets result in no empty seats, it may be a record crowd for Mississippi State football this decade when playing Tennessee.

Nothing is ever officially sold out anymore. Still plenty of tix out there.

I like the way Mike Keith breaks it down. People can say what they want but I don’t think this is gonna be easy.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a game there(Eli was at Ole Miss, and it was the egg bowl of course). Back then the cow bells were banned. Didn’t stop anything though, there would be one guy out of the group that would stay behind and throw all the cow bells over to the large group. They never stop ringing them. I actually felt bad for Eli in that game because they were late hitting him on purpose over and over again, and they still won.

-If we win we can legitimately start talking about what it takes to get into the CFP. It would be a dramatic turnaround, similar to what Arizona State did a year ago.

This is my favorite one. Nothing like a little delusion, but you can't knock a fan for having blind optimism.

Have you ever met a Tennessee fan? Lol

 

[sami]

Have you ever met a Tennessee fan? Lol

How about every fan base? Some comments are just more delusional than others.

 

[VOLnMiami]

I was feeling bad for them until that last comment

The town drunk had to be the last one lol

 

[MemphisVolFan1978]

Where does this delusion that we’re only gonna run 3 plays thru the first ~1.5 qtrs come from?

In what alternate reality are they living in?

3 plays, 3 touchdowns. Works for me.

 

[DazzleVol]

3 plays, 3 touchdowns. Works for me.

Oof, our poor OL on the pat team is in for a rough game if this happens

Sure you can, I do it all the time

All road games in the SEC are a test. Some tests are easier than others. This will be a tough test. Let’s hope that Tennessee turns it into an easy one.

 

[YankeeVol]

Wrong. That's all secondary market home slice.

The "seller" (MSU), already has the money for every ticket.

It's really not that hard of a concept (well shouldn't be).

 

[Usaf redhorse]

I think that dude might be right. The running game wins it though.

Vegas usually has it right money talks bs walks! They had Georgia by 3.5 and they won in overtime by 3 so I say Vegas is right again ! Tennessee by 10

Kind of hope not...line in Vegas right now is UT by 7.5.
Subtract the 3 the he team gets and Vegas says this could be a close one.

 

[vol94]

Pretty good responses. We really can’t start slow . The last thing we need is to give them confidence as the game goes on and for us to feel game pressure late in the game. I’d love to see us start w/ a big play and then lean on the run game. We need to put their QB in a position where he’s the one pressing

Agree. This is the type game where TN needs to get up two scores and never play from behind.

If the game goes back and forth and down to the wire, then State will win.

Surely that won’t happen but it’s TN football.


Go Vols!

Yeah the line keeps moving which means they don’t trust Tennessee in away games! That’s because our former QB who I won’t mention played like crap on the road! Joey is different he Will light them up tomorrow!

Not just him, but our head man is 7-9 on the road in SEC play as well...certainly not lighting it up, but then again probably doing better than other coaches in the league.

Kind of wish State was ranked. Record against ranked teams on the road jumps drastically higher I think.

Playing Georgia and Alabama on the road every other year doesn't help
