Statement from UT re: Gameday Atmosphere

I'm 22, and I don't watch much pro football anymore because its cheapened by too much advertisement and started doing things like changing every rule. I would hate for college football to be cheapened in the same way.

Give me Rocky Top, Down The Field, and that little hymn from "Gladiator" that we play when were on defense and i'll be happy

Sucks that after a big game Tennessee is fighting over this. ..Traditions change..Everyone should know this . If you think 20 years from now a band will be a major thing in football your already behind.A new generation is coming up not to mention what happens when that generations children come up to age. Ive been to several Ut games and I never have been under the opinion that fans cared about the band that much....The fact that the so called Pride is still playing that old music speaks volumes to me.Its 2013 and bonjovi Really Really is being played is sad. Maybe a new Director would help and a younger one at that.How have members of the Pride sat back for years and not changed the music. They surely made a loud statement this week after a big game .Its the best game in years and we are talking about the band.....Last I checked Its FOOTBALL not prideball..Maybe if the band director changed things up and be more up to date this might not have happened. MAYBE THEY COULD AT LEAST GIVE IT A 90s feel to their performance. Maybe the spice girls ILL TELL YOU WHAT I WANT , WHAT I REALLY REALLY WANT , I Want aSCORE SCORE SCORE....HOPEFULLY that director knows what a Score is because bonjovi sure the muck dont..
Ive had family members and a best friend in the pride..They loved performing but were more grateful for a scholarship they got..Because they wouldn't had gotten a good education otherwise.
Also my son is a band member just in case you guys who doesnt like my post think im uninformed about band.....One thing I do know is that most directors have a huge ego problem....

Marching bands, at least this one, have survived 50+ years of being an integral part of the experience. Less than half of the band is on scholarship today, so they aren't there for the scholarship money.

Young man, you are disconnected. It's not your fault. You just don't have enough years in you to speak to what the college football experience is today or where it's going.
