Classless move by LSU band

quote:

Then a strange thing happened, which is never surprising in this shoe-toss of a rivalry. As the song was winding to a crescendo and the Petty family was being spotlighted in the North end zone, the LSU band decided it was a good time to crank up a song.

I don’t know what the tune was, but it hit all the wrong notes. The crowd started booing, then started drowning out the band with a full-throated “Heyyyyy, Baby!” chorus.

Fans tossed a few items toward the band, and I can’t say I blame them.

The LSU band did not back down like UF's team.

Didn't hear that on the broadcast. Probably propaganda.

It was pregame at end of the 3rd like every game. Tiger Band played it over their fake Tom Petty 3 year old "tradition".

Same thing that happened in 2017 that gave us this gif

Well, if there’s one fan base in ALLLLLL of college football that has class covered, it’s certainly the Florida Gators.

Same thing happened in 2014 in Houston when Tiger Band played pregame over Wisconsin's Jump Around and a bunch of soy cuck sportswriters acted like Tiger Band raped a child.

This was the first thing that popped into my head when I read the title of this thread.

They didn’t give a shite when he was alive and now that he is dead, they have to honor him because he used to cut their grass for awhile lol

Some are probably in the Burger King drive-thru line right now wishing they had those dentures that they threw at the LSU band.

Why even let us bring our band if the time is never right for them to play? Geez they are so touchy about a dead musician who i never heard associated with the university until he died.

Really? Petty is from Gainsville and actually worked for the University of Florida on their grounds and maintenance crew before he hit it big in music. Google "Tom Petty Tree"

Same thing happened in 2017. LSU has been playing that song longer than Florida has had their fake tradition.

I liked Petty growing up, I remember when Refugee and such came out.

I never, ever associated him with Gainesville, not like one would associate REM or The B-52s with Athens.

At least 3 band members were hit with cans of beer. One was unopened and hit a girl in the face.
