"The Cowbell is the only Southern Tradition that hasn't been banned...."

END OF CONTEXT

...the 14th Amendment, the 1965 Civil Rights Act, or just plain human decency.  Just ask about Col. Rebel, USM's "General Nat" (named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, founder of the Ku Klux Klan), and the whole host of southern teams (not just Ole Miss) who waved confederate flags in the 1950's and 1960's. 

A rumor I read on the internet showed that the Underground Railroad used cowbells to warn fleeing slaves from Bounty Hunters.  Also, if GI's heard a cowbell on a cow, they knew it was safe to walk across a field.  If there were no cowbells, they knew the Nazis probably mined it.

If the rest of the SEC wants to be like slaveowners and Nazis, be my guest.  However, as for me I stand by God, America, Freedom, and my Cowbell.
