I wish that this meant they were gonna bring out the unreleased stuff for southern accents

In reality I suspect this is just live album they announced the other day

Why is UF so desperate to associate itself with Tom Petty? Did he ever attend UF?



He was a janitor and cleaned the toilets around UF for a couple of weeks in his early 20s.

UF spun that into some bullshite yarn that he was like Johnny Appleseed, planting trees all over campus, so they named a lime tree after him. Petty admitted that he never planted anything on UF’s campus.

In true rock n roll fashion, LSU’s marching band refused to yield.


That's awesome. We have our tradition and yall made one up after an addict died of and overdose. We can both do them at the same time. It's fine with us.

I don’t know why they insist on doing this during our game, it as if they know we could really give two shits or something. He is not one of your alumni, I repeat he is not one of your alumni. Why all the fuss?

You were never a student at LSU either. It's ok. Calm down.

I hope they do. It's hilarious that some school's fans get legit emotional over some boring soft rock has-been who didn't even go to the school. frick Tom Petty.

I find it really hard to believe that the players on FL's team give two shits about Tom Petty. You should really do the tribute on less meaningful games.

It’s a song about being an underdog.
