My first experience with UF fans firsthand was after the 2007 game in Tiger Stadium.

The UF fans walking down the ramps from West upper were jeering, hurling insults, taunting, and getting in Tiger fans’ faces… after they just lost.

It was easily the most classless group of assholes I’ve ever seen anywhere. Obviously I know that behavior doesn’t speak for the whole fanbase, but it doesn’t surprise me to see some of them celebrate terrible treatment of the Tiger Band.

They are using Tom Petty to try and have an identity. They’ve had nothing since Tebow or Spurrier and both of those have faded.

Tom Petty ODed didn’t he? Seems an odd hero

Not to a fan base made up of 85% meth and heroin swamp creatures. He's actually a perfect hero. Hence thier newfound obsession. If he had died of natural causes, they probably wouldn't care

I worked with a couple of Florida alums. Biggest, delusional and most unprofessional co-workers I’ve ever had. May not be because they were Florida grads but isn’t a good look for Florida.

Doubtless they were told to do it. It made for awful TV. Petty has nothing to do with that university aside from a summer job? So stupid.

The LSU band won’t back down.

TGBFTL were running down a dream.

The Gator fan base is free falling.

Losing 9 of last 12 when you have dominated Georgia and Tennessee during that timeframe will do that to a fan base.

LSU has been playing Florida annually for roughly the last 50 years. I would imagine many people, including many Florida fans, didn't know Petty was even born in Gainesville until 2017. And I don't recall Florida ever holding Petty in such revere until 2017. Now, all of a sudden, it is some sacrosanct "tradition"?

He did supposed plant a tree but he also mowed their grass. He probably couldn’t wait to get the hell out of Gainesville.
