More cowbell: Miss. St. gets to keep making artificial noise

More cowbell: Miss. St. gets to keep making artificial noise from CollegeFootballTalk.com: "'Traditional' artificial noisemakers will be permitted during appropriate times, with Kyle Veazey of the Jackson Clarion-Ledger explaining that those times are during pregame, halftime, between quarters, timeouts, after scores and during possession changes.
The tweak in the rule has been implemented on a one-year, trial basis.
Needless to say, the school is very pleased by this development, as evidenced by the statement credited to president Dr. Mark Keenum released by MSU:
'College football is such a popular sport in part because of its rich traditions. There is not a more unique example of that tradition than the cowbell at Mississippi State. I appreciate the willingness of the SEC's athletic directors and presidents to work with us to find a way to preserve a great tradition and still remain within the framework of SEC rules and regulations."
