Ole Miss has been ranked #1 in the last decade. Can we say the same? We've been bad too long to have a big ego.Tennessee is at their bottom. Ole Miss is about as high as they can achieve
You wanna checker Neyland for a game vs a team that’s only been to Atlanta for the ****ing Peach Bowl? Get real. Have some standards.
Really. Would you checker Neyland if Joe Don Bailey were Ole Miss Coach at 3-2? Hell no. You’re doin it for Kiffin. Let him go people. He’s the girlfriend who blew your best friend on homecoming. Get over him.
We did finally get Florida, though...Our record with checker-Neyland is terrible and reflects our abysmal record against top 10 teams the last several years. Checkering for GA would likely get the same result this season.
Otoh we'll likely be only a slight underdog vs a ranked Ole Miss team....Kiffin is back.....we'll maybe get a decent tv time-slot. I'd love to walk out of a checker game with a W for a change.
I wouldn't say it's terrible. It's not good, but it's not terrible.Our record with checker-Neyland is terrible and reflects our abysmal record against top 10 teams the last several years. Checkering for GA would likely get the same result this season.

OM will be a big recruiting weekend. We may not win it, but will pull better TV time slot w/ Layne return, OM playing well, and hope we're on a 2 game win streak.I like the idea but I would rather do it for the South Carolina game instead. I understand checker Neyland will not change the outcome but I really don't see us beating ole miss. I would rather do it for a game I'm pretty sure we win.

I think we've done it 4 times. All against very good teams (Florida, Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia). We're 1-3 in those four matches. Not horribly pitiful given the tier of competition.
I'm all for it. It is visually stunning, and reflects the crowd energy well. It certainly doesn't hurt our chances. Lads gotta love looking up at it from the field.
Go Vols!
