re: Is LSU going to disrespect the late Tom Petty again this year?

quote:

Why is UF so desperate to associate itself with Tom Petty? Did he ever attend UF?

---

He was a janitor and cleaned the toilets around UF for a couple of weeks in his early 20s.

UF spun that into some bullshite yarn that he was like Johnny Appleseed, planting trees all over campus, so they named a lime tree after him. Petty admitted that he never planted anything on UF’s campus.
