What's the deal with the jealousy toward UF's connection with Tom Petty? All non-UF fans on this board go out of their way to tell uf fans that we shouldn't have an emotional connection to Tom Petty and they tell us that we shouldn't sing "Won't back down" before the beginning of the 4th quarter. What gives?
This is UF's response to all of you haters:

LSU fans are insecure about their lack of national relevance or championship appearances in the last 6 years. Don’t mind them.

Nothing but Gators jerking each other off in here.

I have news for both UF and LSU. Petty's music is meant for everybody to enjoy and this is silly. UF needs to not play music over their visitor's band, and LSU needs to accept Petty was a beloved son of Gainesville.

He cut grass at UF campus one summer before getting famous then never cared about UF after that. What’s to be jealous about?

Yeah just like Jimmy Buffet was a sigma pi at Auburn, and kappa sigma at USM. It’s true but he actually has no recollection of those years due to excessive drug use

Love Tom Petty!
The pre-4th quarter recognition sounds awesome (I hadn’t heard about it) .
Had Petty been an Ag, I’d like to think we’d acknowledge him similarly.
There are many people on this board who try to make themselves feel better by disparaging others.
Do your thing, and screw ‘em,

I love Tom and respect his love for his home state.

I like Tom Petty's music. I also like UF. Still there is no connection other than he was born in the town the campus happens to be in. He had no affiliation to the school, wasn't a student or an athlete. UF has plenty of great alumni that are proud of their school, Petty is just not one of them.
Play his songs at games. They are good songs, no issue with that just don't pretend he had much to do with the school.

No one gives a frick about UF’s obsession with Tom Petty. Seriously.

That's just objectively wrong.
Petty over the years would occasionally talk about rooting for the gators, he even said something about it when playing at the Super bowl
At about 2:10

Probably because you spend the 4th quarter backing down.
