Mississippi State hosts Texas A&M on Saturday in Starkville.
It’s a road game for the Aggies, and the Friday before is traditionally reserved for yell practice. Of course, that means a host of well-travelled fans gearing up to help the 12th Man will their team to victory.
That didn’t stop Bulldogs fans from crashing the party, though, and looking to make their way into A&M’s designated yell practice site at Mississippi State’s intramural fields. But as you can see below, they were barred from entering, so a group of them gathered nearby to ring cowbells instead:
State fans have shown up to the Midnight Yell, but police won’t let them in unless they’re wearing Aggie merch ???
So State fans are now ringing their cowbells a couple hundred yards away. pic.twitter.com/IcKqhjC3Nz

That won’t be the last of the cowbells we hear this weekend, though, as Davis Wade Stadium is certain to be filled with the sound of them all throughout the afternoon. Meanwhile, the Aggies will look to avenge a loss to the Bulldogs a season ago at Kyle Field. But will Mike Leach’s team pull off the upset and hold serve at home?
