Today On Rocky Top: “Checker Neyland” A Reality?

ByZach Ragan

It looks like the plan to “Checker Neyland” for the Vols’ October 4 game against Florida could actually become a reality.

The University of Tennessee is now behind the idea that was sparked by a couple of fans, who have a website up (checkerneyland.com) where you can see which color you’re suppose to wear.

The movement has received a lot of attention on social media. Tennessee getting behind this means it actually has a chance to happen.

We encourage everyone to visit the site and find out which color you’re suppose to wear for the game. It would definitely be a unique site to see and would almost certainly result in some “Sportscenter time” for the Volunteers.
