Mizzou should adopt ZZTop because we both have two Zs.

"Sharp Dressed Man" can be played with every new uniform presentation.

here's what I woudl liek to know, totally from a non-trolling perspective. Totally serious.

Why did UF wait until TP died to start really driving that train? I don't recall UF and tom petty ever being linked when he was alive aside from just "he spent some time there" , but after his death its' like UF has completely gone 100% all in on the tom petty connection. Why did they not celebrate him as much while alive? Or did they and I just wasn't paying attention ?



Of all the people who give a shite, why would Georgia fans, who never step foot on the UF campus? Yes you are trolling because people do shite like this all the time. You have plenty of bands who hail from Athens, so this is a really weird sour grapes type of post. We have celebrated Petty in the past along with Jimmy Buffett, Bo Diddley and others. Not sure why you care who we celebrate. Are you worried that Gainesville is going to surpass Athens as the hipster hub of the south or something? I think you guys will be OK.

Seems like a lot of pomp and circumstance for a dude that smoked some weed on campus one time

Wasn't that one year after they vacated UF's SEC Football championship due to cheating?

Tom Petty was the most unattractive rock star in the history of rock n roll, no wonder that he came from Gainesville.


You sure about that.

Why would they sing it as a big6 in the sec. It’s an “underdog” song.

I loved his music, no doubt about it. But he was one butt ugly person to look at it. Even for a dude.
