How is it that UT is allowed such an offensive fight song?

Let's look past the fact that they play Rocky Top for anything from a TD to a cheerleader's last tooth falling out and look at the deeper more offensive thing here. The lyrics.

quote:

Wish that I was on ole Rocky Top Down in the Tennessee Hills. Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top, Ain't no telephone bills.


Harmless enough, minus the obvious lack of geographical knowledge that you cannot be down a hill while up a mountain.

quote:

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top, Half bear the other half cat; Wild as a mink as sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that.


So, they have sex with bearcats. While perfectly normal in East TN, I feel the rest of the country excluding Aggie would be offended.

quote:

Once two strangers climbed ole Rocky Top, Lookin' for a moonshine still. Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top, Reckon they never will.


Here, the rednecks are glorify the murder of revenue collectors merely attempting to tax the illegal swill being made by the bearcat frickers. Once again, normal in East TN, but fricked up in civilized society.

Why does a school allow such filth to represent it?

At least get your pejoratives right:

Tennesseans =/= rednecks

Tennesseans = hillbillies

I always find it the height of irony for one Southerner to make fun of another Southerner for his state being ignorant. That being said...come on UT you cant make it that easy

Maybe we should class it up a bit like Oxford, and bring in the Klan.

First off, they were Auburn fans. Secondly, they were shouted down and run off. Finally, east TN sucks.

Why would you need to bring them in to their national headquarters? We don't want your podunk local chapter embarrassing us.

They can pick the Klan up in the same place they picked up Bo:

Pulaski, TENNESSEE

Where the Klan was formed & home of Bo Wallace.

Actually, East Tennessee is home to the most visited National Park in the U.S. So, 9 million visitors per year would disagree with you.

People visit the Anne Frank house too. People love tragedy.
