| Does any other SEC team play the opposing teams fight song?
We do it as tradition for every home game but I wasn't sure if any other sec team did it. I would like to hear the Gators play Rockytop. |

| Friend of mine that was in the Pride said we were the only SEC school that did it, but that it wasn't too uncommon around the rest of the country. | |

| Sorry, but I can't blame other schools for not playing Rocky Top.

| The Pride is the only band in the SEC that does this. Being in the Pride, I enjoyed playing it during the pregame show and though it was a pretty cool thing, especially when the crowd boos the entire way through, haha. Then we follow it up with RockyTop and the crowd goes crazy. But RockyTop isn't our fight song, so we wouldn't hear them play that anyways. | |

| I agree. Great tradition. A buddy of mine is an LSU alum and was in the band for 4 years. He came with me to a game a while back and he was pretty impressed by that kind gesture. Nothing but class from the Vols  .
I wonder if the smaller schools enjoy hearing a monstrous band play their fight song in front of 106,000. | |

| It isn't really the same to play a team's song AFTER you beat them. Nothing classy about that. | |
