Even when things are tough, Tom Petty’s words of wisdom are here to lend support to those in need.

The Swamp of Gainesville may be empty for the time being but the Gators want everyone to heed Petty’s advice and refuse to back down while away from campus.

Florida blasted the song “I Won’t Back Down” from the proud Gainesville native recently and was quick to share the message to all the Gator fans out there.

Now, more than ever, we all should sit back and listen to the message from Petty.
