What I witnessed was a completely trashy display of disrespect by their jort wearing cohorts. I thought Tom Petty was supposed to be like founder of UF or something? I can understand being upset for losing your homecoming but this was completely uncalled for. Both of Tom Petty's songs were great, and he should be remembered as such.

You serious, Clark?

They were booing TGBFTL playing over the UF band who plays 'We Are the Boys From Old Florida' and into the TP tribute.

I was there, I think if they had a problem with it they should have done something about it on the football field.

I think someone suggested they play a game in the rain.

Florida fans hate Tom Petty?


Typical Florida.


They got what they deserved.


And it should’ve been worse.

Well thank you for being honest. I saw Gator fans on here last night advancing the lie that the band played over the tribute.

Here's how I see it. There wasn't enough time in the break for your band to play, then our band to play, then the tribute. So... Y'all are welcome.

Just looks like TGBFTL is louder that Florida's PA system!

What Florida fans won't tell you is that UF, per the game official schedule, started the tribute too soon.

Why did Florida wait until the teams were lining up for the start of the 3rd quarter (and I mean after the kickoff) to do the Petty tribute?

There is this period called halftime where it makes a lot more sense. And guess what, it's also before the 3rd quarter, so it still kinda fits.

What Florida fans don't realize is that nobody gives a shite about their stupid tom petty tribute. It's not like he was an alumnus that maintained close ties with the school. He was just a central Florida boy that got the hell out as soon as he could and never ever looked back.

Florida's tribute was silly from conception.
