Opinions on songs obviously vary widely. Heck, there are plenty of people that are annoyed by Rocky Top -- both those from outside Tennessee as well as people who call the state home. Wagon Wheel falls in the more "beloved" column in my opinion, and has been the reason for the push to utilize it at games.

I don't think starting petitions for what should and should not be played is appropriate at this point, mainly because the first game hasn't even kicked. It will all depend on fan reaction, etc., not to mention the ultimate factor, which is the actual composition of Wagon Wheel that the band comes up with.

As for the other plans by the band, it's sounding great. And the halftime show line up appears really solid.

I get emotional at Rocky Top and I'm not even a UT fan. I think it's more because Tennessee is my home. Wagon Wheel is definitely a beloved song, I don't know why it would get hate besides the Darius Rucker cover.
