Checker Neyland debate

[austin_vol]

With the poll out online should we checker neyland again or not due to loses? What are your thoughts?

 

[Volnukem]

I'm not superstitious. It's one of the most impressive things in college football. Keep doing it permanently.

 

[AstonRoyal]

despite the loss, the energy during the oklahoma game when we checkered neyland last year is probably one of my personal favorite moments. If we could replicate that again (with a win of course), I'm all for it.

 

[Biopsyman]

every 5 years or so... When it is all the time.. Not special

 

[BigSteve09]

I wish we could do it for that asshat Muschamp this year. His "it's great to see all these upset fans out here" comment when we checked Florida in 14 had me like...

 

[volfanhill]

I think we should do it every game

[Notorious B.E.N]

Do it

 

[BMvol27]

We should do it to change the perception. Remember when the smokey gray jerseys were cursed and then we beat UGA in them?

 

[utvolpj]

What's the debate? We've lost plenty of times when Neyland wasn't checkered

 

[VolForLife83]

I love it. Keep it up

 

[Ashevolle]

Every home game. Should be one of TN's great traditions that people come the country over to see.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Keep it going. We did not lose those games due to Neyland being checkered. It looks awesome on TV, and I have had a lot of non Vol fans say how cool it looks. They are impressed when they learn the fans do it on their own rather than having the school provide shirts at the stadium.

 

[CoaxialOrange]

I'm for it. It's truly the most beautiful thing in college football especially when you throw in the surrounding scenery. I'm biased though

 

[Iam4utalways]

The debate the first year was could we do it or would we fail.

It looked great and we should do it at least once a year.

To me, it looks goofy. Never have liked checkering and never will.

 

[Eastknox865]

We should at least once a year. The Florida game would be perfect. It's looks amazing and only helps the atmosphere be that much more. I will be very disappointed if we don't.

First time we wore grey against UGA....we lost to UGA. Next time we wore grey against UGA...we beat UGA. First time we checkered Neyland...we lost to Florida. I say we continue this trend. Anybody claiming "we are 0-2" is not worth arguing with. That's the all time dumbest thing I have heard. We lost because we A. played the wrong QB and B. blew a lead we never should let get away. It didn't have a thing to do with our fans attire.

I say we do it once a year every year. And a key game would make it special. I say we do it to Florida again. Before it gets chilly. White jackets aren't as easy to get as white t-shirts.

 

[YankeeVol]

For one or two games a year, sure.

 

[BigOrange15]

There is no debate. We didn't lose because we checkered the stadium.

 

[KBVol]

It has no effect on the game one way or the other but it's a cool thing to do...it speaks very well of our passionate fanbase and it looks great. Keep on doing it.

 

[ATLVol92]

To me, it looks goofy. Never have liked checkering and never will.

who the hell's this guy?

 

[LandonVFL]

We should wait for the SEC title and just checked our half of the stadium.

 

[hillbillysmokey]

To me, it looks goofy. Never have liked checkering and never will.

I've heard some stupid stuff on here but...seriously

 

[VolAllen]

Seriously....who doesn't love this?!?
