CLANGA!

That’s what was ringing loud and clear during Mississippi State’s Thursday night rally that saw the school break the Guinness World Record for the number of cowbells being rung at the same time.

More than 15,000 fans piled into Davis Wade Stadium in an effort to break the record. The Guinness World Record website still recognized a gathering of 640 people in Switzerland on Sept. 6, 2009. MSU fans had no problem breaking that last night.

“Cowbells are a huge source of pride,” MSU athletic director Scott Stricklin said. “I remember opening up the Guinness book when I was a kid and looking through the records so I guess it’s going to be neat that Mississippi State is going to be listed among all the other records.”

A 10-win season. A Guinness World Record. What’s next?
