Okay fine, but you didn't answer my question. I was curious if anybody knew it. No need to be touchy about it. Also checkering Neyland is nowhere near running through the T, the Vol Walk or Rocky Top in stature. It is no older of a "tradition" than Butch's "Third Down For What?".

Google is your friend. We are 3-4 in Checker Neyland games. 2-1 under CJH.

Just received email about them telling us what to wear. Who gives a damn, just please worry about winning a football game.

Big recruiting weekend, sadly or not
Optics influence 18 to 29 year old's, I had to bring the age up to 29 because I've heard 2 games where the announcer have said 9 year covid/med RS player coming into the game. 🤣

I can care less about all the pre-game pageantry when they are not winning. At the end of the day all that matters is if they won or lost the game.

At the end of the day, all that matters is none of it. It’s a football game, the outcome of which has no cosmic significance whatsoever. As my father used to (rather infuriatingly) say, I’m going to wake up Sunday and do exactly the same thing whether they win or lose.

To act like the game itself has some kind of intrinsic, self-evident meaning that the rituals surrounding it do not have is asinine. The rituals have meaning because fans and players find them meaningful. The game has meaning only because…you guessed it, the fans and players find it meaningful.

It’s all part of the same cake, y’all. Saying “Forget the Vol Walk, I only care if they win,” is like saying “forget the eggs and sugar, I only care about the flour.”

"Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. Now, I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed"

Do you think Nick Saban ever really cared for Bamas stupid pre-game traditions?

Sure wish they would rotate colors every year. I'm tired of always being in a white zone. Most of my game wear is Orange, including my blood. 🏈

1. Which explains why most of the board doesn’t tolerate you, and I’d say the allied invasion of Normandy was a bit more consequential than a football game.

2. Why should I give a rat’s butt what Saban did or didn’t care about? I’m not a coach. Are you? Wait, are you Josh Heupel?
