re: Any non-Tennessee fans ever sing the Rocky Top song?

I was hammered after watching LSU play Syracuse on 2015 (it was like a 1030 game) and Tennessee played someone on TV after.

I decided to cheer for Tennessee so I was singing rocky top pretty often. Don't know the words really.

Bluegrass has roots in Irish and Scottish music, not Africa.

Which is why I said Ulster Scots created it. The banjo was brought over by African slaves. Bluegrass got much of its rhythm from African slaves. This is what my first post said.

As a gator fan, I'm sitting in Alabama in one of the most Roll Tide towns in the state. While eating at the local Waffle House, the song comes on the juke box.

I catch myself singing it, and I gotta admit. It's pretty catchy tune. Especially the, "...woo! Rocky Top Tennessee!" part. I look to my left and a Bama fan is dancing to it in his booth. Anyone else do this?

Even opposing players sing it. IIRC, one or two gators has talked about that. One gator a few years ago talked about how they'd practice with it all week with it blaring and by the time game time rolled around he'd be humming right along with it on the field.

I grew up in Memphis, so I learned it during middle school. Always loved the song. Such a catchy tune.

Btw, I enjoy the song.
