Similar to Ole Miss band being forbid to play "From Dixie with Love" because the students would chant, "The South will rise again," at the end of the song.

PC bullshite.

To me that is a bigger deal and a far greater tradition.

Wut.

Let me guess, you were in band in high school and still believe people came to the football games to watch y'all play instead of the actual game?

And the UF band doesn't play the state song, "Suwannee River, Old Foks at Home," anymore because it refers to plantations. The fricking STATE SONG can't be played at a STATE university.

PC bullshite x 10

UF also doesn't want its students chanting "Move Back You Suck" chant.

Those not familiar with the chant, UF has always played it whenever the opponent has a penalty.


The irony here is that since 2008 Florida has been the most penalized team in the SEC. They are just now starting to turn it around in 2015.

UF has been the most penalized team in the SEC consistently from the Spurrier days.

I wonder how these people would feel if they went up to Madison WI and heard the student section chanting "Eat shite, frick you" back-n-forth to each other.

UF students should keep doing it. frick those pussies

No, it is banned. The UF band used to take the field to Suwannee River until it was banned or that's what I have been told. Someone correct me if I am mistaken.

Florida has been the most penalized team since 1990 in the Sec.

It's why Gator fans are so irate by claims refs help us(they did vs Arky)

Spurrier - averaged more than any other team his time here. Doesn't at South Carolina.

Meyer - No issues at Utah, BG, or Osu. Here? Most penalized.

Zook - middle of pack in big ten, once again most penalized coach in his time here.

At some point this stops being a coincidence. That's threecoaches who had issues with being over penalized at UF but no where else.

At some point...it's clear the Sec hates Florida

"Move back, You suck"... I wouldn't have said that during one of my high school games in the late 2000's, much less say it as a grown man. The thing is, I can see that stadium in a complete raucous with high fives abundant and a whole lot of "yaaaa bro's!!!" as everyone chants in unison.

Florida fans: the gift that keeps on giving.

Suwannee is still part of pregame. They play it as they are forming the UF tunnel for the team to run out.

LSU has had like 4 songs "retired" by the band director due to vulgar chants by the student section. It sucks when the actions of few result in the majority being punished, but that is how society works. I can drive a car at over .08 but because some sorority girl killed a family at .08 we all have to suffer.


were the other 4 as bad as "STTDB"?

As a 46 year old father of 4 with 2 daughters, I would be HIGHLY OFFENDED if I took my family to Baton Rogue and my girls (age 12 and 5) heard that bullshite in the fricking stadium being led by the school band

Also - are you seriously going to argue that driving tipsy should be OK? God knows I have done it, but WTF?

Or it could be a reflection of the student-athletes they recruited while at UF.
