More cowbell, please.
The legendary Saturday Night Live skit is famous (or infamous, depending on how you look at it) in Starkville.
As described by NBC’s website… “When rock band Blue Oyster Cult records ‘(Don’t Fear) the Reaper,’ producer Bruce Dickinson (Christopher Walken) insists Gene Frenkle (Will Ferrell) play more cowbell. With Chris Kattan, Chris Parnell, Horatio Sanz and Jimmy Fallon.”
The skit took place in 2000 as part of SNL’s 25th season.
Mississippi State is getting set to host LSU on Saturday in a 7 p.m. ET kickoff on ESPN.
But the festivities began on Thursday night with the “Cowbell Yell.”
