What is this sport?

I appreciate the guys are ringing the bell but I’m not sure what the sport is

Hilarious Answer: Bell Balls. "One if by land, Two if by Sea, More than that - makes you Happy"

Real Answer: I have a friend who went to Texas Tech, and I had to ask. They are "Victory Bells" that are rung as the fight song is sung. They proceeded to type the entire fight song....

That is what happens when you mix committed, determined, and randy.

Looks like softball or baseball equipment in the background. Guessing they are ringing a bell at one of those events?

That is not a sport where you can “score”
Looks more like a self gratifying hobby
