I politely asked him, as a BAMA fan, to play Rocky Top several times this fall when they beat USC.I bet a few dozen, polite, classy requests might get the job done:

Except for some pro-USC honks, the local press has been excoriating USC AD Mike Garrett for his hiring of Kiffin. They don't like Kiffin's youth, his style, his handling of the UT recruits and his general sleaziness. Of course as a Bruin I think it's a match made in heaven now that Maude is in Seattle.
If you can find recent columns by L.A. Times writer T.J. Simers you will see what I mean. He rips Garrett up one side and down the other.
Out of solidarity with UT I will wear a Vol jersey to the USC-UCLA game this year and I will try to get other Bruins to do likewise. Wouldn't it be cool to see several hundred Vol jerseys in the Bruin rooting section?
Bruleif, UCLA's fans were really classy and nice when they came down to knoxville. I will be rooting for UCLA next year especially against USC.
Would you agree that if everyone emailed the band director, he would probably play rocky top once at the end of the game if UCLA is winning? One reason why I think he'd do it is b/c of that cheap play action bomb Pete Carrol called at the end of the game this past year. What an A$$ hole move.. Thoughts?
I'll say it again...
The same LA Times and the same Alum bashed Garret for hiring Pete Carrol..so it's not like their opinions have been validated yet.
And for you guys rooting for UCLA...they are 1-10 against USC within the last 11 years..so I wouldn't get too excited if I were you..

Thanks for the great idea and making it so easy to do!
