Wow! I agree!

Isn't it also Yale's fight song?

I saw something to that effect when I found the Youtube. But I think Yale has about five different fight songs. And none of them work too well for them.

i agree..and ide almost bet this is what coach jones offense will look like if peterman takes over at quarterback...who all to nevada? i took them...but im sure alot took az

Almost dead on.!!! Being in the music business for over 20 yrs. I can tell you this. I am not sure of " down the field " publishing/copyright details, but if in fact Nevada used it and made changes without a mechanical liscensing agreement giving permission, there are a few options that can be pursued. It first has to be proven they "borrowed" it from us.

I never was in the POTSMB but I did play alto sax in the alumni band once for a newspaper story -- and it was a hoot and a half by the way -- so I have actually played the UT arrangement of this song. The Nevada version is much simpler; it sounds like a stock arrangement for high school band directors.

Eh, Well, UT stole Rocky Top from Chattanooga before the merger. Personally, I think it worked out well for the song that UT started using it and obtained sole rights. The UTC band still played it in the 90's, but it just didn't fit anymore.
