Tennessee Upset of Kansas

Kansas has been flirting with a loss lately, so it might as well happen out of conference. The pressure at the end almost caught up with Tennessee in the last 2 minutes. A walk-on hit a 3 pointer as the shot clock expired with less than a minute up 3 to put it away.

The reason for the post is not the game, but the fact that I love to here Rocky Top at a game. It has become my favorite school song. It is not the official fight song, becuase it was written in 1967 and they started playing it in 1972 at Neyland.

Chorus
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good old Rocky Top,
Rocky Top, Tennessee.
Rocky Top, Tennessee.

Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still.
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top,
Reckon they never will.
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far.
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar.

My Bluegrass up bringing is coming out. Here is the original band.
