God it brings tears to my eyes. Coming home from my last combat tour our pilot played this song over headset for me. He knew I was a Tennessee man and love my Vols. God it felt so emotional leaving Special Operations and finally after 24yrs of service to come home to my beloved Rocky Top!!!

Wisconsin fan, but damn Rocky Top is so cool. It’s a special song and there’s nothing else like it in college football. It honestly feels like nostalgia in song form, and everyone is enjoying the timeless wonder of college football. Go Vols!

Peyton conducting the band for "Rocky Top" was iconic. Even though I'm a Nebraska fan, I never get tired of hearing "Rocky Top". I've been to games in Lincoln, Norman, Tallahassee, Clemson and Ann Arbor, and each was fantastic in their own way. But the 2 teams I would LOVE to see play at home are Texas A&M and Tennessee. There's just nothing like the atmosphere at a big-time college football game.

A few years back I got the privilege of going to Knoxville to see Florida-Vols game. The guy warned me they played this song any time Tennessee did anything remotely good, but it seemed to play the whole game plus every car driving by played it. It was a great time and the UT fans were great.

Years ago I happen to be at a bowl game where Tennessee was at. My seat was smack in the middle of all them Vol fans, and before halftime, an elderly couple that I was sitting next to made me feel like one of them. It was exciting getting to hear Rocky Top, and getting to know them Tennesseean's. That was one of my best games I've attended.

Unfortunately, they were plants. UT powers that be have their own intelligence (relatively speaking, let's remember whom we're discussing) organization. They're sole purpose is to spread propaganda to bolster their school, while spreading lies concerning sister schools. This is especially true when it comes to athletic recruiting, and the athletic department in general. The horribly sad thing about it all is that they had always been a respectable and honorable opponent since back in the days of the old Southern Conference, a group of approximately 20-25 schools, from which came the SEC. I believe the original SEC included all the current members, minus USCe, Arkansas, Mizzou and A&M. And included Tulane, Georgia Tech and Sewanee: The University of the South. On a side note, cool avatar.

I hear you William. Being a huge SEC fan, my dream came true when my favorite school (Texas A&M) joined the conference. It was disappointing to hear people talk negative about A&M being admitted, but I hope after two years those people have had a chance to see that the Aggies aren't your same old school. Now the hardest part on Saturdays are cheering for the Aggies, but also cheering for the other SEC school they may be playing. LOL. SEC! SEC! SEC!

You know, I've researched fight songs, and traditions from all around the United States. There are two songs, TWO that can inspire, and intimidate all in one swipe. I'm not from Tennessee, nor do I plan to move. But Rocky Top has earned absolute respect. So one, is DEFINITELY Rocky Top. The other (Prepares for bashing), is "The Eyes of Texas". Both songs can move crowds into frenzies, and make those same people cry in the right situation. Those songs are what College sports are meant to be!

Well, I'm not from Tennessee, but I love it too. :-) I am tempted to go to a U.T. football or basketball game sometime just to hear the band play it. One thing I always thought was especially good about it was the line about the 2 strangers who went up there looking for a moonshine still, and ain't come down off Rockytop, and reckon they never will..... You don't have to be a big drinker to appreciate that.
@harperLAX13 жыл бұрын
As a Tennessee alum, I'd just like to point out to the uninitiated that Rocky Top is NOT the fight song of the University of Tennessee....the fight song is called Down the Field and is played after every TD. That being said, we play Rocky Top all the time because A) We absolutely love it and B) It pisses everyone else off. :)

My favorite stanza to Rocky Top is "That's why all the folks on Rocky Top ; Get their corn from a jar" Funny since the region the song is set is near Gatlinburg, TN, which is in Sevier County. Sevier and adjoining Blount County are both "dry". If you wanted a drink you needed to get it out of a jar.

We had 4 championships before Manning ever put an orange uniform on, and have remained in the top 10 winning teams for decades, including now. Since Manning left we have been to the SEC championship game 4 times. Only Florida has us beat in the East. Nice try though.
