    He knows who he is. He doesn't think TP is relevant. He must not have been to a Gator game the last few seasons. I do agree that his music skews caucasian. Don't know if that's an issue or not.

    He and his family came away quite impressed with their visit. His father is a Dawg and mother a Gator.

    I LOVE IT!

    This staff can recruit.

    It will be tough to beat UGA for Justice but holy crap ... Verron is gushing about this visit. Maybe we have a better shot than we think. I know several people at Blessed Trinity and will ask around this weekend if we have a legit chance or not.

    Sweet Home Alabama has certainly held Alabama back recently.

    And him saying Uf "raised the bar" coming off of a visit to Bama is impressive of itself.

    Talk about relevance. Recently heard the first two bars of that song on WXRT in Chicago, followed by this…

    See that this Bonehead had to shut down his account after getting destroyed on Twitter.

    Nice work boys.

    Tom Petty and country were not what immediately comes to mind when thinking of him as an artist. He always pushed the envelope and was trying new things from a musicality perspective and even if his old MTV videos

    I understand why anyone under 35 would only vaguely know Tom Petty, and not understand why we play his music. But it’s such a cool moment every time I hear it. It has to be one of the better in-game experiences.

    Tom Pettys music and this song in particular have proven to be transgenerational. All of my kids hace it in thier play lists. There is a reason 90K fans stand up and sing it in the swamp. Because the overwhelming majority of fans have adopted it and approve.

    It's not all about you.

    And fix your hat.

    I hope this doesn’t turn into political, but the color of your skin should not matter. I never even thought about race/color when I listen to Petty's songs.

    I feel D. Black is gonna reintroduce himself this year so to speak. The kid is highly talented, been a stud everywhere he has played and is probably one of the most loyal recruits I've ever seen. Can't remember too many kids committing, not qualifying, going juco for 2 seasons and still be a Gator like he said from the start. I look for him to be an impact player this year.
