As much as UF fans try to make Tom Petty a UF thing posthumously.

He trimmed bushes for a semester and realized that he was Above trimming trees in Gainsville

When all you've got is a grade school "2 bits" cheer, you get desperate.

It's unique at least. Better than copying a tradition.

The Petty tribute continuing to be a thing is weird. Was he even a UF athletics fan?

Almost everything Auburn tries to do is just as bad.

No he was hired as a lawn maintenance guy for 3 months.


50 years later Gainesville tries to appropriate Petty...it's so odd.
Timing fits though


Does Gainesville ride the back of an icon or a few murderers from the Golden years of 06-10

The barn is honestly the most embarrassing program in the SEC.

LSU fans think "Neck" is actually cool, so not sure they can chirp.

I’ve watched every LSU/UF game since 2007. I didn’t know about your “4th Quarter Singing Tradition” or that you sing Tom Petty, until the weekend after he died, and the LSU band played over it because your home crew fricked up starting the song.

Like what? Having an eagle fly around the stadium because our battle cry is "War Eagle"? Yeah, that's really dumb.

Nobody gaf about your Dead Valley…
I’ve been a few times for your “big games” and it sucks.
Before I went to the first one, SC fans here, I live 20 miles from your goat pasture, told me it wasn’t shite, but I didn’t believe it. Well, it isn’t shite. They were correct…
But, you have a lake, good for you…
