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.

He grew up in Gainesville, graduated from Gainesville Hig School (my HS alma matre) in 1968. His albums and videos featured many historical photos and 16mm movie segments taken of Gainesville decades ago. He grew up a gator fan and always acknowledged it...which is easy to prove in the days of google.

What is disgusting is continued behavior of LSU fans trying to justify the ugly actions by their freaking band. I guess they think denigrating the Petty tribute would somehow excuse that Stanford-band type disruption staged in the Florida stadium.

Maybe LSU fans should STFU about it. You are only making the school and State look worse.
