DO NOT SAY WE ARE NOT MEN (MAN) OF OUR WORD
A big thank you to John from Songbook Sports for providing the backing track on little to no notice. Last year Todd sang Creed, and we are sure that hurt very much. But even with the piss take we took on Rocky Top, this hurts like eight bitches in a bitchboat, and we are not even lying about that.
Hide your ears.

Our fearless leader as the lost member of Anthrax. That’s an angle I hadn’t considered.

HAHAHAAHAH @ “No Money”
Orson, you are a gentleman and a scholar

That was awesome. I really mean it. If there is one way to make that song rock, you guys found it.

I’m with #3. First thing that came to my mind. Second thing was I wouldn’t mind a professional version in this style.

I was expecting so much worse, but this was actually brilliant.
I’m hoping the Pride of the Southland can incorporate this version into the repertoire

Really Joel? Cause that felt more like a Bradley Fighting vehicle running me over.
Orson, +100 Molotov cocktails to you.
Now is the point of the season where we put aside one-on-one rivalries and embrace conference dominance. Good luck to all the SEC teams (yes, yes, I’ll include LSU…).

This feels like such an easy way out. You should have to sing the original bluegrass version, not just scream into a microphone.

You know what would hurt like 70 times 7 bitches in a bitchboat? If they start playing that SWEET version over the loud speaker to get the Vols pumped up before games.

Sir, you have just accomplished the unthinkable:
A version of “Rocky Top” that doesn’t make me want to stab somebody in a lethal manner.
100 cocktails, for fearless leader!

Gwar Dept:
That sounded awful, like a bad Gwar imitation. All Swindle was missing was the mask.

If someone made a death metal album featuring college fight songs, I’d buy it.
Nicely done, Orson.

It’s like the Cookie Monster woke up on gameday in Knoxville, found out that someone pissed in his Cheerios, then went to the game singing his blue ass off regardless.

I tingled with anticipation for the guttural scream at the end, which I knew all along was coming.
Quite possibly the only version of Rocky Top that doesn’t make me want to skull rape live squirrels.

RE: Crazylegs28
So….remaking the entire song, speeding it up, and adding a supplemental track to it is the easy way out. We apologize: next time please specify you want a real pony.

I rather enjoyed that, even if the young man needs an exorcism and a dollop of morphine for his soon-to-be-fatal kidney stone. I will lisen to it on the train to Pasadena with a smile. Some damn fine smitin’ music there.

It is really funny that you would it this way. All I could think about during the SECCG was that Alabama was Dr. Rockzo and Florida was Skwisgaar’s mom giving us a handjob. I DO COCOCOCCAINE!!

man, I can just see the mosh pit going wild in Johnson City or jackson TN if this song was performed….. there would be blood a’plenty and at least one eye gouged out
Orson, you are one step closer to being worthy of your namesake

Orson,
I got all the way to “Tennessee hills” before I started projectile vomiting.
I hate that fucking song. I hate the fact that you had to sing it, and I hate even thinking about it.
FUCK FUCK FUCK.
URBAN, CAN WE AT LEAST TRY TO RUN THE FUCKING BALL AGAINST CINCY?!?!

Volume 1 can be college fight songs. I want Volume 2 to be Orson covering the entirety of Ultimate Manilow in that voice.

I know it’s a bit off topic, but I saw this and I had to say something:
#14: “Now is the point of the season where we put aside one-on-one rivalries and embrace conference dominance. Good luck to all the SEC teams (yes, yes, I’ll include LSU…).”
This is why I will never, ever understand the SEC. If a rivalry is serious, how can it ever be put aside? I’m not questioning the intensity of the rivalries; I’ve got southern relatives and I know the intensity that, say Florida/UT engenders, but how can you then put that away and cheer for the same team against anyone else? As an Irish fan, there are no circumstances under which I would cheer for USC, ever. Even if the only thing that could propel us into a national championship game would be a USC victory, I would still cheer for the team playing USC. I have zero ability to put that hate away.

MIke @41:
Rest assured that not all SEC fans go in for the “conference brotherhood” horseshit.
I hate all other SEC programs and want them to lose every game they aren’t playing Florida, unless said game directly benefits the Gators.
Eat shit, hillbillies!
by ESMjr. on Dec 7, 2009 8:02 PM EST reply actions
Mike @ 41 – To some of us, it is a cold calculation. We know that the SEC’s prestige partly rests on the bowl game performances (ESPNs fawning is unconditional), and said prestige allows us an almost guaranteed MNC slot.
I want Bama, LSU, UGA, etc (all teams I despise) to win because it benefits my team in long run.
That said, I really don’t know if I can root for the Kiffins. My Bismarkian disposition might just end there.
by cantcatchuf on Dec 7, 2009 8:33 PM EST reply actions
@ 41
The unwritten rule is that you get one “under all circumstances” team which, as the phrase implies, you are exempt from rooting for under all circumstances. Everyone else, you are obligated to pull for during bowl and non-conference games. It’s like the cousin that everyone in the family thinks/knows is an idiot, but woe be to the outsider who says so (see also: Kiffin, Lane).
It’s not supposed to make sense. It just is.
by CA Dawg on Dec 7, 2009 8:44 PM EST reply actions
@ 41 I want every game to result in the outcome that most benefits my program. I was for Alabama in the SEC CG, because we recruit less against them head-to-head than Florida, and because Alabama will remain the gold standard for Southern football for the foreseeable future now that three titles in four years is no longer possible.
Now that the CG is over, SEC bowl wins are incrementally good for my program, because it propagates the widespread belief among many recruits that there is ‘nothing like playing in the SEC.’ I will adjust my overall pro-SEC rooting philosophy as the bowl season goes on. For instance, if the conference is having a good bowl season, I will have no problem sacrificing Kiffykins to VT. We don’t recruit against the Hokies much, a win in the Peach Bowl will not dramatically improve that program’s image, and it slows any groundswell for the ‘Tennessee is back’ meme.
On any given Saturday, I have interests in from 20-30 games based on how I believe the outcome will affect my program. Frankly, I do not understand how any fan cannot look at every game and perform the cold “which outcome is best for us” calculus.

@41
What would a ND fan know about conference affiliations?
What ND does know about: Hiring mediocre coaches and then running them into the gound, after paying out the ass for them.
Oh, that, and supplying the butt to Navy
