To the idiot posters above...of course it's staged. The whole point is that Butch actually has a pretty good sense of humor. For them to put that kind of time into it is hilarious.

On a sad note...it looks like Antone Davis has slipped a bit on his weight since The Biggest Loser.

I'm concerned that Butch is the kind of guy who worries about all of the wrong things. That his gameplans and in-game coaching will leave something to be desired.


I don't know if that general statement is true, but my first thought in this thread was:
1. He's right.
2. Winning this argument isn't going to win him any football games.

I always found it amusing that Alabama also gets off to "Dixieland Delight", a song about getting laid in Tennessee.

Yeah, but all of those "ROLL TIDE"s and "frick AUBURN"s "AND TENNESSEE TOO"s added in there make it alright.

Rocky Top shits on waving white surrender flags to Sandstorm. I guess if you have no real tradition you're forced to make one up.

I guess when you make up lyrics to insert into songs you can make anything your own

Not gonna lie, the video of the student section chanting that song last year at the iron bowl was pretty badass. It was so loud and in unison y'all had to ban the song.

lulz, yeah right.

It's not like Rocky Top was written for UT either. It was just written as a country song and UT stole it.

I'm actually with Butch on this one. Sweet Home Alabama is a pretty terrible song.

Don't worry you guys will be hearing plenty of Rocky Top over the next few years when we play.

At least it is a song about Tennessee. Plus, the song was written in Gatlinburg, which is very close to Knoxville geographically.

How many songs (other than fight songs) are actually written for colleges?

Actually it is so appropriate to discuss Sweet Home Alabama on this site...it is the response thread theme song.

It was only written because some rednecks got their Jimmies Rustled by Neil Young.
