By Zach Ragan
Don’t play Sweet Home Alabama in Knoxville, or Butch Jones is going to hunt you down and find you.
Check out what happened when the song popped up at a spring practice (hint: Butch Jones went on a mission to find the source of the song and end it).
To most folks, Sweet Home Alabama is just a southern rock song that’s been covered by garage bands and up-and-comers at least a million times.

But to Butch Jones, it has no place on Rocky Top.
And he’s absolutely right.
Bringing pride back to Tennessee is what Jones is all about.
If that means banning a certain Lynyrd Skynyrd song from campus, then so be it.
