Tom Petty Tribute


Not a Gator fan, but out of respect for Tom (a TP fan, growing up in FL) thought I'd make a few Dawgs aware if they didn't know: (From UF Board)
The University Athletic Association will honor Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Tom Petty, who died Monday, at Saturday’s LSU-Florida Homecoming game at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

At the end of the third quarter, after the UF band plays “We Are the Boys from Old Florida” and fans lock arms and sway as they sing the UF spirit song, Petty’s famous tune “I Won’t Back Down” will blast across Steve Spurrier-Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to honor the local legend treasured by Gator Nation and far beyond.

Petty was once employed as a groundskeeper at UF. He played on campus twice in the last 25 years after becoming an international star who sold more than 80 million records during his career. He performed at UF in 1993 and 2006.

The Gators will also have a moment of silence prior to the game for the victims of the tragic events in Las Vegas on Sunday night that cost 58 people their lives. The moment of silence is scheduled between the Pledge of Allegiance and playing of the National Anthem.
