Posted March 6, 20232 yr Moderator The last member of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band, Leonard himself, has passed away. RIP. His passing got me thinking about the best rock-and-roll song adopted by college football teams. Here's my take in reverse order. 5. Virginia Tech - Enter Sandman - Metallica - This tune brings down the house when the Hokies enter the stadium. 4. Jump Around - House of Pain - The old stadium at Wisconsin rocks around itself when the fans jump around at the end of the 3rd quarter. 3. Shout - The Isley Brothers - Autzen Stadium also shakes its booty when this classic is played at the end of the 3rd quarter. Does anyone want to Gator? 2. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd - The fans at Alabama games love it when this song breaks out. 1. I Won't Back Down - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Speaking of Gators, see above, Florida fans go nuts when Gainesville-born and raised Tom Petty sings this classic tune at the end of the 3rd quarter. What says you Ducks fans? Have I hit the right notes or am I way off?

That makes me ill. I LOVE Tom Petty, and am so sorry at his passing. So much incredible music...now forever tainted knowing this! Gators: 🤮 Mr. FishDuck

If Utah wins 1 game next season it best be the opener vs Florida; a team that will likely need a tutorial on how to lift the tray table and fasten a seat belt.
