After the traditional rendition of We Are The Boys going into the fourth quarter, the Gators will play "I won't back down" by Tom Petty

I got chills already just thinking about it.

Go Gators!

If true, this will be a great tribute to hear 90,000 sing along. I watched the 30th anniversary concert in Gainesville, last night. Hard to believe he is dead. RIP

Hopefully it catches on and becomes a permanent tradition.

I love "Running down a dream" which CBS played when Danny was a sr and we were playing UT in the rain.

that's a great idea. hopefully, it will be played over the loud speakers and not by the band.

My favorite Petty song was always "learning to fly but I ain't got wings". Hell that could be Felipe's theme song this year.

I wish I could’ve experienced that. I totally hope that becomes a tradition.

For the people that were there, how was this in person? Would y’all want it as a new tradition? “We Are the Boys” is old as frick.

It was absolutely incredible. Gave me chills.

I like We Are the Boys and following it with that. I am 100% for it being tradition.
