Bye weeks cause trouble!

And I'm not even referring to our players. There is a ridiculous argument among #VolTwitter about changing the song between the 3rd and 4th quarter of a game from "Low Places" to about a million other options. I've never seen people get so upset over a song that is played 7 times a year. I mean seriously people.....find ANYTHING else to do with your time.

I think you beat us to it lol!

The song sucks and so does the artist that sings it.

Are you talking to yourself?

How about Rich men north of Richmond

I, along with a lot of others, would like for it to change and have for some time. While I love the song, itself, I don’t think it exactly gets players or fans excited, locked in, or focused. Frankly, it kinda kills the mood going into the most crucial and final quarter.

Some people liken it to UF's playing of Tom Petty's "Won't Back Down". As much as I can't listen to Petty for weeks after the game in the Swamp every year, it actually makes sense why they do it and it fits the moment. Tom Petty is from Gainesville and was a UF fan. The theme and title of the song are about not backing down; i.e. applicable to the moment. Garth Brooks has zero connection to Knoxville or UT. The "tradition" started because he played a concert in Knoxville. He played 29 other stadiums on that tour. Further, the song itself is not applicable to the moment at all. Again, love the song, but reminiscing and singing about Friends in Low Places going into the Fourth Quarter... misses the mark, in my book.

That said, I do join in singing and will continue to do so as long as it continues, as I’m not one to thumb my nose solely to thumb my nose.

Go Big Orange!

The song sucks, I don’t blame them. And all the suggested replacements aren’t much better. We need to avoid country music for the 4th quarter song.

Must be a fad. It was played at the Titan's game this past weekend.

The stadium goes nuts when the song starts. The "sing along" is almost deafening. For that reason alone, I don't see a change this year.

THUNDERSTRUCK would be a good one.

The irony is this post is next level.

You have no one to blame for this thread but yourself, OP.

If we are winning, we should play the Mortal Kombat theme song and everyone say "Finish them!"

If we are losing, "Jesus Take the Wheel"
Jk

This thread went into a different direction than I thought it would.

4 fingers pointing right back at yourself

The irony is thick here

That weak dick song? Never.

I present to you

I LOVE this song, however...there'd be no singing before they have to turn it off. Classic Rush with the 45 second intro

Everytime I hear that I cough up a little bile remebering Lyle Jones and that era of ineptitude.

While we're at it, can we get rid of the PA Announcer "It's 3rd down"...it's pretty bad when you can hear over the TV broadcast.

 

[Daniel_Lincolns_Foot]

They need to bring back that commercial between the 1st and 2nd quarter where they played "Swingtown" by Steve Miller Band.

Bye weeks cause trouble on twitter.

Agreed...I was there Saturday night....felt like about 98.000 people singing it.....seems the masses don't mind that much lol

Agreed....seemed like about 98% of the stadium was singing it Saturday night
