I don't think there's anything to that rumor. Google it and 90%+ of the hits are on UT sites. The few I saw that weren't were from a UT fan posting on another site (Oregon). I don't think it was anything but a rumor. If it happened, it's hard to believe the TV guys wouldn't have noticed and mentioned it...
I spoke to their band director earlier this week. It was never going to happen. I even posted that in the earlier thread about this. Sheesh, rumors self perpetuate like nothing else. Posted via VolNation Mobile
Someone indicated in another thread that Oregon's band did not even travel to the game. I know that I did not hear Rocky Top played ...but on a positive note - Oregon beat the crap out of Lame and Monte Kitten.
on the pregame show a caller asked if they were going to play. frank kesling, i mean Bob said that oregon called UT. they thought it might have been to get sheet music of rocky top.
