Per Tiger Band Facebook Page:


Clarification on the 3-4th quarter situation last night. As is customary and tradition for LSU for every game over several decades, at the end of the 3rd quarter Tiger Band always plays Pregame/Touchdown for LSU. The plan was for LSU to honor their decades-old tradition while Florida honored their singing tradition simultaneously. Then right after LSU finished their 'Pregame' then a tribute was to ensure. To help facilitate this, the LSU band started their Pregame tradition early with :10 seconds remaining in the 3rd quarter. At no time was it the intentions of Tiger Band to disrespect or interrupt a tribute of someone we consider a musical icon.

A lot of people seem to be posting about it.

So insert Trump "You're Wrong" meme.

So Florida screwed up but we will get blamed for it. Sounds familiar.

So Florida fans were outraged? The plan for a Tom Petty statue must really be on the fast track, now.

Maybe Alleva will award UF another home game as compensation for their hurt feelings.

No apology necessary. Hate that we did it. No one believes the band intentionally disrespected the memory of Tom Petty.

Total PC run amok.

Sounds like the Gata’s screwed the pooch. And speaking of that, screw the Gata fans, who gives a shite what they think.

"Ensue" is the word they were looking for.
