Does the song have to include the Lyric "University of Tennessee", or will "Tennessee" do?

Don't forget arguably the greatest song ever recorded. "We're coming to your cit-ay" that mentions several SEC places.

Green Day - One For The Razorbacks

Sunset Grill by Don Henley has the lyric "Stare (or Gaze) out at the Auburn sky."
It's a really good song, other than that choice of lyrics.

Only song I can think of is O.G. by Tech N9ne, but I wouldn't really call that a popular hit song

Alabama:
Steely Dan - Deacon Blues
This pisses me off more than losing to them in football.
Van Zandt: That Scares Me.
Once I had a fortune riding on the shoe
of a field goal kicker from LSU.

The video for "Only Wanna Be With You" shows the Gamecocks getting our asses cut in basketball throughout the video. Does that count?
And thanks, Hootie. Some Carolina fan you are.
