U. Tennessee’s fight song is actually “Down the Field”. Rocky Top, which they sing and the band plays incessantly, may rank as a weapon against opposing fans and teams.

By the time they play/sing Rocky Top for the 100th time, early in the 2nd quarter, the song has become nauseous for people not inured against songs about hardscrabble towns.

They play Rocky Top after every first down they get and every score. Thankfully, they haven’t been playing it quite as much the past few years.

I listen to some college football podcasts. I crack laughing when the intro to another Tenn blunder story is “Rocky Top”.

Bama fans haven’t heard Rocky Top too much in the past decade or so. But by now Vols fans know the words to Rammer Jammer. :)
