Except that they DID ring them the moment the ball was snapped on numerous plays. That’s a flagrant violation of even the revised rule. And to say they had no effect isn’t completely accurate. I’m quite certain it made calls on the field more difficult even in plays where the outcome worked out in the end.
I get that it may not be as loud even with the bells as BDS is without them, but it’s silly that they’re allowed to project themselves as louder by far during gameplay than they really are. And, again, imagine if we did ring bells in BDS. They’d shut that down in a New York minute. I think it would be awesome if we did do that the next time the Bulldogs come to BDS.
