Florida asks band to stop playing “Move Back You Suck” ditty

The year of marching band outrage in college football continued this weekend, although on a much more scaled back level compared to what Kansas State got in the middle of earlier this season. The University of Florida marching band has been asked to cease playing a certain stand tune after receiving email complaints about the song leading to Florida students adding the line “Move back you suck” to it.



Florida’s athletics department requested the band to stop playing its “You Can’t Do That” song that was usually played after a penalty on the opposing team. The request was made after the athletics department reportedly received numerous emails complaining about the student cheer that accompanied the song.

“The reason why it’s been stopped is because there have been too many complaints from fans to the athletic department that the student section was saying something else that the fans thought was vulgar and inappropriate,” University of Florida Associate Director of Bands Jay Watkins said in a report by WUFT. “This is a frustrating situation for all and a perfect example of how a few complaints or a few individuals doing the wrong thing negatively affect a great 10-year tradition.”

If "you suck" is the worst thing said to you at an SEC football game (especially by Gator fans) you should hurry down and play the lottery after the game. It's your day.
