Was Tom Petty even a casual fan of the Florida football program?

He was a groundskeeper for a short amount of time only

95% of florida fans learned that he was from Florida just this weekend

No since Florida was so shitty until 1990 he had no interest in them.

Always took him for a Tennessee kind of guy.

Florida is heartbroken over this loss. They were running down a dream of a championship but they experienced a breakdown. There is just no room at the top of the SEC as long as Alabama is running the show.

Yes. Said at Super Bowl the Gators we’re only football team he pulled for.
He was a mainstay in Gainesville for years until he hit it big. Not sure why this keeps coming up, the Gainesville connection has never been a secret.

Doubt it, he had class.

I think Petty sold weed to UF students when he was in high school maybe...

I mean, I know Mike Campbell, the lead guitar player, played a Florida Gators painted guitar at one point.
I guess that speaks more to Campbell’s fan hood, but I’ve always considered Tom to be a Florida fan based on the stories I’ve heard from those who knew him before he hit it big.

Yes he said in interview for his super bowl show that he and the rest of the band root for the Gators. And Mike Campbell (guitar player in the band) had a guitar with the gator logo on it. Now ask a question that's not retarded op

He was known to hump some tree on campus or some dumb shite like that.

Yeah. I saw a Video Bio on Petty about 5 years ago. It was made about the time his wife was divorcing him (c2001) and he made a reference several times to the Gators and being a fan.

I can guarantee Tom Petty had more of a connection with the University of Florida than you do with Texas A&M.

He cut the grass one time and didn't bump into an oak tree.

Now I finally understand the pettiness of Fla. fans.
