Law used to trash him as a drug addled hippie. Undeserving as our signature rock musician. I dont miss that part of his rants......

Is it a hype video for fans? Do the players actually see these?

And he still does. I recently saw him knocking TP in Twitter.

No.

Time to end the Petty ****, and I like Petty's music. Sing We Are The Boys (which will eventually be banned for the term boys) and move on.

Petty's family goes along with "Tom Petty Day" at UF, and the song being played and all that, because they get money out of it. Tom Petty himself probably would not have embraced it too enthusiastically, if he even allowed it at all.

As you probably know, Petty's attitude growing up in Gainesville was more resentful than respectful of the university and the "elite" college students who made fun of hippy pothead musicians like him.

Now he is having the last laugh, every time those snobby Gators sing his song and then end up losing the game. Which has happened too many times at this point. Often because we did the opposite of what the song said, and "backed down" when we needed to make a play.

Hopefully this new "tradition," and the era of losing that it has become associated with, will end after this year.

My understanding is that Petty resented Gainesville and avoided a return for years due to the residual effects of an abusive alcoholic father that routinely beat Tom and his mother.
He avoided Gainesville like the plague until after his father passed.
Every interview I have ever read or heard from Petty was very positive regarding UF due to his appreciation for their liberal policies and approach. In fact, he perceived UF as a positive part of Gainesville.

This times 1000. We Are The Boys is the tradition being squashed out completely here.

And the program has been a complete cluster**** since the Petty thing started.

Free Fallin’ would be a heckuva lot more appropriate.

Wait wait wait… they don’t sing We Are The Boys anymore?
