Talk about an appropriations how about every college program in the country copying our Tiger-Walk. We originated it everyone copied it from us.

Yeah because Bulldog fans wearing face paint and spiked shoulder pads barking at cameras is such a riveting tradition.

To be fair, ESPN is the one shoving it down everyone’s throat.

So weird that you care about this at all. Do you wake up angry in the middle of the night because of UF playing a Tom Petty song?

It's seriously contrived and comes across as desperate.
I read he wasn't even a UF fan and the tree he allegedly planted on their campus he didn't even recall planting or claim.

I heard he hated UF and tried to burn it down several times! And that the song Won't Back Down is about how much he hated UF! That's what I heard.

I don’t think it’s the fan base. It was some people in the athletic department who saw he died and thought they had a great idea for a tribute. I think it was fine as a one time thing, but continuing to do it is fake and takes away from “We Are the Boys from Old Florida.”

I actually thought it was one of the best times of the game last weekend. Other shite pissed me off, the get-up-and-go cheer for one, but the phones out thing with piped in music is pretty much the norm now.

The piped in sound at Ole Miss was much louder last night. They had a DJ playing rap to a 99% white crowd and every fan shot they did was just white people cringely dancing to music they NEVER listen to.

I don’t think this bothers most normal people. Why are you mad? I don’t see too many people making threads melting over LSU copying Clemson on the “Dearh Valley” stuff. It’s just a game.

It pisses LSU fans off because their classless band played over it when it WAS a one time tribute.

Florida decided to do it properly the next week and it caught on. The fans absolutely love it, and it's a great time.

Our football staff decided to make our game against LSU "Tom Petty Day" last year. I hope that continues every time we play LSU in the Swamp.

That’s rich coming from the corndog-smelling, Our Lady of the Lake scamming, grinding on recruits, “STTDB” crowd
