Fresno State's red and white checkerboard end zones

[S.C. OrangeMan]

An obvious copycat of our beloved Neyland.

Did they win?

And? We copied "Down the Field" from Yale.

I think Fresno State's endzones are the least of our worries.

They have been like that for years, just now figuring it out?

I think they did copy them after visiting Neyland in the early 2000’s. I remember talking to some of their fans during that game and they were in complete awe of Neyland and our program.

They started the checkerboard end zones in either 1999 or 2000, a few years before they visited Knoxville.

You know what they always say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Pat Hill coached Fresno to some good seasons.
They were a dangerous team to schedule during those years.
