As a life long Nebraska Cornhusker. I've gotta admit Rocky Top is the best fight song in all of college football, gives me chills. Would love to attend a game at Neyland Stadium to experience it first hand some time.
TybrosionMojito You're right, of course....most older UT fans (like me) know that Down the Field is the official fight song. Rocky Top became popular in the 70's with the fans and was sort of 'adopted' as our unofficial fight song. But...you'll notice that every time UT scores a touchdown, the FIRST tune played by the band IS Down the Field.....then they play Rocky Top.
Gator fan and proud of our win streak, but really happy Tennessee plays the away team's fight song at home games. Only other band I know that does that is Purdue. A lot of respect for that.
In '68 I lived in IN and my brother was stationed at Ft Campbell, KY and one of his fellow soldiers was the son of Felice and Boudleaux Bryant who wrote Rocky Top. One weekend he went home with him to visit his parents. I don't remember if they went to Nashville or Gatlinburg. I was only 12 or 13 and had never heard of the Bryants or Rocky Top but never forgot this story. Now I live just down the road from UT and a big UT fan and LOVE ROCKY TOP!!!
I attended the Tennessee vs. South Carolina game today and singing this song with the rest of Neyland Stadium was one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had. Go Vols!!
While I am from Texas and therefore a Longhorns fan, Rocky Top does NOT suck ass Bobby. Each team of any substance has their own fight song or whatever and there is absolutely nothing wrong with Rocky Top. The fact that it is so unique allows it to stand out these days. That rocks. Go Rocky Top.
michael wright Nothing wrong with it??? What kind of fight song is about corn liqquor, moonshine stills, and is played on a banjo??? Hillbilly trash....try "Fight On," "The Victors," Onward to Victory," or "On, Wisconsin! "--THOSE are fight songs!
@@willshaw6405 It's a bluegrass song, not an actual fight song, so what else would it be about? It's just like Alabama's "Dixieland Delight", and my favorite team, Texas, even does "Deep in the Heart of Texas." They're just country/folk songs that connect to the teams' fanbase. And remember, this is the South, not the Midwest or the coasts, so country music is massive there, and it should be no surprise that country music will be played at football games in the South
I went to neyland for the first time ever last year when they played ole miss I’m a rebel but my gf and dad are vols fans so we went man y’all’s stadium and fans are amazing 110k is a sight and sound you can never forget it was amazing I love rocky top my favorite fight song in my opinion my rebels got a win and the vols fan went crazy and threw stuff on the field it was a great game I’ll always remember it only thing I didn’t like where the seats man they are so narrow and steep toward the top hotty toddy
I marched at South Carolina. Being able to hear this first hand is awesome!!! I hate this song, but when you have 100K singing it, it takes on a completely different meaning!
Best date ever: Bring your girl early and watch the band march into the stadium with the high-steppin' guy with the long stick leading. Oh, enjoy the Florida win; it doesn't happen often. Peyton never did it.
Not a Tennessee fan but as a fan of college football, I have always wanted to visit Neyland Stadium and hear this live. It always sounds awesome on TV, I can't even imagine how cool it sounds live.
An Alabama fan and a Tennessee fan, fighting side-by-side were captured during World War II and sentenced to die by firing squad. The enemy commander asked the Tennessee fan if he had any last requests. The Vol said, “I want to hear Rocky Top one last time.” The Bama fan was then asked if he had any last requests. “Yes, shoot me first!”
I'm a Tennessee fan and find this funny. Unfortunately, I'm also a history teacher so I have to point out that rocky top was written well after WWII. Change the war and you've got a winner.
All of the Big 10 bands play the opposing teams fight song, as well as some bands out west and down south. I'm not saying your wrong, but Tennessee isi'nt the only one.
@TheDucksfaninpa2010 ---------thanks for sharing. I was at the UT vs. Oregon game, too. Not much of a second half but a great atmosphere. Now that was a HARD rain! I met many Ducks fans----all wonderful people. We love having visitors to Neyland Stadium; it's like having folks over to your house for a cookout. Tennessee travels to Oregon in September of 2013 to return the favor. I wouldn't miss it!
Rocky Top is so rousing that if I was at a UT game I'd be tempted to join in the chant even if I was there for the opposing team. I'd probably have to be escorted out of the stadium by security for my own safety, lol.
Sorry to see you wrote that. I always try to make the opposing fans have fun, and be glad they came. I do "rib" them and kid around in good humor. I know our fans can be a little rough at times... sorry about that. If I were not an LSU fan, I'd be a Tennessee fan... they are my favorite SEC East team, and favorite non-LSU team. Great people, program, fans. I hope y'all get good again soon.
I was at the Oregon Tennessee game the week before and I was singing Rocky Top even though I am a Duck fan. I loved it in Knoxville and at Neyland. The Pride of the Southland was really good. That game turned me into a Vols fan. GO VOLS and DUCKS!!
I was at this game; I'm a student at UF. I'll be objective here: This is a great tradition. I've been to every UT-UF in Knoxville for the past 10 years... Lots of fun. Rocky Top has never bothered me... Now the FSU "War Chant" is a complete other story.
@@daBEAGLE1017 For sure , I love that Song. We was at the Dixie Stampede a few year's back and they sung that. Man it was very good!! It's not the Dixie Stampede no more though😌😔 We go to the Hatfield n McCoy show now I like it better.
@@daBEAGLE1017 It don't matter on that one. We 've been seated on both sides. I know though that movie that was on TV I tried to watch it, I couldn't. It was to much killing. One scene I don't who was who but three young boys was shot over stupidity. I stopped watching it. But I do enjoy the dinner show. I guess that just shows though people was crazy way back then. Fighting n killing that way over a pig I reckon just ridiculous.
@SpurredDevilSC I'm in the Band of Blue at MTSU and have been a Tennessee fan my entire life. We played in Knoxville this year and I was honestly in Heaven. Tennessee has some of the nicest fans in the world. In fact, they even danced with our band. If that's not a welcoming crowd, idk what is. GBO!!
Silver Bullets I've been to every stadium in the SEC (Except A&M) and I have NEVER heard Rocky Top played by the band from the school we're playing. Never.
It's a shame more schools' marching bands don't play their guest's fight song as part of their pregame. It's pretty much a staple in Big Ten country, with a couple exceptions, but I rarely see it anywhere else. I love it when the home team shows some class.
Booing? Hmmmm. And exactly what passionate fan base do you have in mind that would NOT "boo" the rival team? The point, my friend, is we PLAY THEIR FIGHT SONG, not the reaction to it.
YellowhammerDuelist Not sure that the Cadets and Midshipmen qualify as a "fan base"....but you're right, they don't 'boo' each other. This is the exception that proves the rule.
John Devlin I live in Colorado but have been a Winnipeg Jets fan forever (1981 until they moved and since they came back), and I always love that they play "Oh Canada" when a Canadian Team plays in the US. Very classy.
I love when the pride of the southland band plays the other teams fight song better than their band. Rocky top is by far the best. Go Big Orange !!!!!!!!
As an LSU fan, i'm extremely happy to see the Vols playing some good football again. The SEC is at it's best when the Vols are at there best. GEAUX TIGERS and Go Vols!
mundrubjet Ain't a real fight song...it's bluegrass banjo trash. In Ann Arbor we have a real fight song--The Victors--and we play Earl Scruggs in the stables to make the livestock urinate on schedule.
Murder, moonshine, young love, what's not to like. Great times at Neyland: One time my new seatmate and I got to talking and he had pot and I had papers; into the head to roll and smoke watching the game. Lady in front of us kept trying to interest her date in us, but he was watching the game and listening on small headphones and couldn't be bothered. What could be more important than the game in front of you and the play-by-play on the radio, certainly not some kids behind you not bothering anybody. Smuggled a bottle in every game, but no cameras allowed. Drunk fans fine, but intellectual property not to be messed with.
Agreed. Coming from another Alabama fan and alum. Another one of their traditions that I respect more than any tradition in college football is playing the opponent's fight song before Rocky Top. I hope UT does well this year. I miss the rivalry not being played up like it should be.
We went to a little restaurant way out West of town and they had the, oh, 12" by 24" scorecards all the way from the 30's to the then present-day. The only times UT beat Alabama were the years everybody beat Alabama or UT beat everybody. I think they are the last undefeated, untied, unscored-upon team, but then lost in the bowl game to USC in 1940.
this is awesome. i'm a Michigan fan, but have always rooted for the Vols (except when you kicked our asses in the Citrus Bowl). I think Rocky Top is the second best fight song to Hail to the Victors. I hope Butch Jones can turn things around there.
@TheNthomas1999 I'm glad you had a great time. Good luck to UC the rest of the year! I live in ohio, so i've never minded the bearcats, but im a vol fan ALL the way!!
Amen! Bama and Tennesse find ways to win. They also know their football, .Notwithstanding the fact we all have "our few" Bama and Tn are class acts with tradition. Fla 100 years of playing about 20 years of tradition. "
I was at the Ore-UT game to. Hands down one of the best experiences in my life, classy doesn't even begin to describe the Vol fans. Even after we won, everyone was congratulating us on the win. "Now go kick the shit out of Lane Kiffin for us!". Hope to see a ton of Vol fans at the 2013 game. But word of warning for anyone making the trip, STAY AWAY FROM THE STUDENT SECTION!!!! they get jager'd up like none other and can get really hostile.
@azvol I met so many Vol fans and they were all so nice to us. The rain was insane. I hope Tennessee returns to being SEC champs in the next couple years. I just loved hearing Rocky Top and I know how it annoys the opposing fans but it didn't bother me!
I have met wonderful UT fans. Good at taking and giving the jabs, but always in good fun. I think every fan base has it's jerks, and I KNOW LSU has it's share. It is a shame, and very embarrassing. But I love UT and it's fans. I hope y'all return to your former greatness on the field soon.
i always like to think that when the announcer says, "we extend a big orange welcome to the visiting team, by playing their fight song"... it should be "we extend a big orange welcome to the visitor by teaching them how to play their own fight song" lol
I love Tennessee!!! hate Florida. rocky top is the best fight song. I have been to many games and every time I go it gives me chills when I hear rocky top.
I'm a South Carolina grad, and UT has the worst fans in college football. Every time I've been there I've been treated like crap. I've never been treated anywhere as bad as Obnoxiousville. I hope y'all treat visitors more kindly than y'all have treated us on the past few visits.
Everyone in the comments talking about playing the other fight song, I thought this was normal lol. Going into my senior year of high school in NE Indiana and we always play the other school song too
@CalBear500 I have been to Beaver Stadium where Penn State plays and I love it so much. I am of course a Duck fan as well because my 2 favorite things were ducks and sports.
As a life long Nebraska Cornhusker. I've gotta admit Rocky Top is the best fight song in all of college football, gives me chills. Would love to attend a game at Neyland Stadium to experience it first hand some time.
I LOVE THE OLD NEBRASKA FOOTBALL TEAMS, THEY WERE GREAT, BUT I ATTENDED SCHOOL @ UT AND AINT NOTHING LIKE ROCKY TOP ON THE PLANET.......
Not the fight song...

+Caleb Jurgensen come on down, I'll feed you some memphis bbq and beer as I have to travel across the state to see my Volunteers play
I'm from California, went to college at Long Beach. And i have to say that hearing the UT marching band play Rocky Top gave me goosebumps. Loved it!!!
Gator fan and proud of our win streak, but really happy Tennessee plays the away team's fight song at home games. Only other band I know that does that is Purdue. A lot of respect for that.
Ohio state does it as well, and forms the opposing teams logo in formation
The entire Big Ten does. And most fanbases don't boo when their own band plays away fight songs.
@@CrossingTalkAdmin unless its xichigan at ohio state
@@cmweber1999 Well Michigan does in general cuz they, too, are classless.
OU does, usually without the boos, lol.
A tear rolled down my face just now.Thank God for the Tennessee Vols.

How did you feel this weekend?
@@Apunuah 31-10
That was pure class to play Florida's fight song. Dying to go to a night game at Neyland!
I didn't know Tennessee played the opponents fight song. new respect for ya vols!
recebarnett don't all teams do that?? I know Oklahoma does.
I've never actually heard any band do that haha
recebarnett Nebraska does too
done it for years
Most college teams play the opponents fight song since both bands can't take the field at the same time during pre game. It's a courtesy.

Nothing like being a part of this LIVE. Its breathe taking . Love my boys in Orange !
I'm an Arkansas fan through and through but I ain't lying when I say hearing Rocky Top is so damn cool.
His first time a few weeks and a good weeks ago a lot weeks
We've not got a very good team anymore but our noise and support is still second to none. I'll love Tennessee till I'm dead
You've got that right! Right there with you!

In all of my years of watching football, i don't think i've ever seen another team's band play their rival's fight song. Pretty classy though.
tennessee is one of the few schools that play the other teams fight song
Nebraska plays the other team's fight song too.
They can't read.
pretty much the whole Big Ten does

Ain't a real fight song...it's bluegrass banjo trash. In Ann Arbor we have a real fight song--The Victors--and we play Earl Scruggs in the stables to make the livestock urinate on schedule.
Murder, moonshine, young love, what's not to like. Great times at Neyland: One time my new seatmate and I got to talking and he had pot and I had papers; into the head to roll and smoke watching the game.

Pure respect for that comment. It's been a long time coming!

Agreed. Coming from another Alabama fan and alum. Another one of their traditions that I respect more than any tradition in college football is playing the opponent's fight song before Rocky Top.

im a huge michigan fan but i love rocky top lol
I don't know what year this is, but I went to UT from 1965 to 1969 and definitely enjoyed the UT band when it played at football games.
Always found it funny a college fight song refers to moonshine, but a lot of people don’t even know it

im proud to be a true vol fan
I'm a South Carolina grad, and UT has the worst fans in college football. Every time I've been there I've been treated like crap. I've never been treated anywhere as bad as Obnoxiousville. I hope y'all treat visitors more kindly than y'all have treated us on the past few visits.
This is what college football is all about. Unity.
As a Native Virginian..I bleed Orange, GO VOLS
Everyone in the comments talking about playing the other fight song, I thought this was normal lol. Going into my senior year of high school in NE Indiana and we always play the other school song too
I want to go to an SEC football game so bad, but I live all the way in California lol.
Best damn fight song there is! EVERYONE knows it!
You know, if the TV College game broadcasters would show at least some of the half time band performances like they used to, that would be nice.
Good ol rocky top
My favorite Fight Song. War Eagle
@CalBear500 I have been to Beaver Stadium where Penn State plays and I love it so much. I am of course a Duck fan as well because my 2 favorite things were ducks and sports.
