Cowbell Protocol for Utah Game
Friends,
Rice Eccles Stadium categorically prohibits noisemakers and instruments of all types. (“Musical instruments or any type of noise-making device may not be brought into RES or JMHC during Utah athletic events.” See http://gamedayr.com/sports/college-ncaa/rice-eccles-stadium-information-policies/.)
But we have tickets near the visitor’s sideline, first few rows, and we want to bring a little taste of home to Michigan players and coaches. So we’re bringing a cowbell and a beater, and we intend to set up a few cowbell cheers during tomorrow’s game.
For Michigan regulars, what are the most appropriate occasions for the cowbell cheer? When can the cheer be used to maximum effect? (It’s been a few years since I’ve been to the Big House.)
For Utah regulars, do the authorities give greater leeway while in-field cameras are focused on fans? Will stadium authorities merely expropriate the cowbell, or will they evict us from the premises? (If the latter, then this is going to have to be a late 4th quarter exercise.)
I hope we’ll hear a few “Go Blue”s echo across the stadium before they shut us down!

I guarantee it.

Michigan Stadium. Only the bag is banned. Bring a few megatons worth.
September 3rd, 2015 at 6:04 AM ^
Why bring a bag full when a single stick of dynomite would work better?

I have found them to be not awful strict, I am not sure now (I now live in Florida) but in the past, the staff at RES would take the device away. I watched them take a keg from a group and admonish them, no ejections. I expect if it was a plague of issues they would toss an offender or two to send a message but, one guy one time, probably no issue.
Best of luck to your team guys and gals,

Thanks, Aardvark.
As opposing fans we have plausible deniability. But in the midst of the most rabid crimson club benefactors, I doubt it will take authorities long to respond.

But the MUSS, those drug addled bastard students . . . be wary

Do the cowbell cheer immediately after The Victors after a score. And maybe in the lead-up to opening kick a few times (like right before the team comes out, while they are out during warmups).
Again to start second half, maybe before fourth quarter.
Other than that, I wouldn't overdue it. But definitely rock the cowbell with honor. Just don't fuck it up and get the rhythm wrong.
