Checker Neyland BYU

[Andy Pulley]

Would like to see a white out game with UT in white jerseys and orange pants early in the season. Then an orange out later in the season.

That would be different. I'm not sure if we ever wore white at home. Not in my lifetime. Love the orange pants with white jerseys.

I was going to wear a short sleeved white button up and a black tie to the BYU game. But I'd be okay with checkering too.

Everyone should actually do this, but make it an orange tie. That would be epic.

 

[Voltopia]

The only reason not to checker is the folks that need to wear white. Many Vol fans still wear Orange to games.

They need to swap it, so the people always wearing orange get the white assignment for one, and the folks in white get orange.

I prefer winning football to cool decorations, let's start winning big again and then we can checker Neyland and it mean something!!!!!

This!

 

[YankeeVol]

BYU isn't a worthy enough opponent

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Yep about the time they started to sux, lol...

I believe that was a $hitty December night in 2001.

They have before

The “19 Checkered Reverse!”, sounds like a truck play.

Sounds good to me.

 

[TheBigOne10]

I’ll be there in section M, row 6!

 

[GhostVol]

If TN is wearing orange over white..... Upper deck orange, lower deck white.

Make the stadium the 12th man

Your right, that was the start of this crap .

If you were alive in 2004, you witnessed it. Wore white throwbacks against UNLV in the home opener

 

[UTK]

Well I would rather do it for a game you're sure to win and it's a late night ESPN game, so it'll be widely seen. I think it's the perfect game for it this year if you were to do it.

I completely forgot about that. Angie and Schaefer were battling for the QB spot.

you must sell shirts...

 

[SmokinBob]

Anyone know if the two guys that laid out the checker board and developed the chart are on here?

 

[Grudenhaslanded]

BYU doesn’t deserve to play in a checker Neyland game. It should be reserved for a big game and we need to be competitive for us to start doing it again.

 

[TNHopeful505]

BYU isnt a scrub team. Theyve made a bowl every year since 2005 except one. That's more than we can say. They're also 8-5 in those games.

Last year they beat Arizona and Wisconsin. Not saying they're world beaters, but we definitely can't overlook them. This would be a great game to show out in.

 

[Andy Pulley]

If we're going to the game anyway, why not show how great our fanbase is by doing something cool.

I agree. Like hang 56 on em. Now that would be waaaay cooler than checkerboarding the stadium.

The team damn well better not overlook them or it will be an ugly start to the season.

Personally i think BYU is a perfect opponent to checkerboard the stadium.

Both sound good

It definitely seems like our fans are

 

[volfaninky]

It looks awesome in person and on TV. There is not anything negative about it. Fans, players, and recruits love it. It's not A Butch thing; fans organized it. Let's bring it back once a year.
Spread the word: Sept 7th, night game on ESPN vs BYU!
Go Vols! Let's do it.

Why not an ORANGE out? No white, no grey, no black, no light blue... wear freakin ORANGE

That should be the case for all home games.
The only exception should be one checkering per year.
