Did anyone else think it was kinda classless to play Rocky Top over Rammer Jammer? Granted, I can't remember the last time they beat us at home ('03?), so I don't know how our band would react.
Just seemed kinda butthurt of them to do that.

Not to mention UT has gone so far downhill, they play Rocky Top every chance they get. They played it when we missed the extra point...

At least it wasn't "Third down for what" again.


I'm cool with it, they've gotta pull out all the stops at this point.

Why would it be classless for the home band to play their fight song over an opposing team's chant?

BTW, they pretty much do that every time we play them in Knoxville.

No other bands generally try to drown that out.

Rammer Jammer isn't exactly the epitome of class not that I mind.

Not at all. I fully expect the home team's band to try and play over it. Makes it even better to know they care though.

they've done it the last 2 times we've been there. I half expected the MDB to wait for Rocky Top to finish before making UT take their medicine.

Why? It's their stadium. We're the guests.

Just wait until they're done, then play Rammer Jammer. Eight times.

In 2007 we played it with a minute left, right after Kareem Jackson's interception.

That's how you fix that. Play it with a minute left.

Since Rammer Jammer is classless, the two negatives made a positive.

Smart move in my opinion. They had a good crowd Saturday night.

"Class" and "classless" get thrown around way too much in football.

Rammer Jammer is classless and I wish we would stop. I'm a double grad from UA if that matters.
