Title: Checkerboard OU? Post by: murfvol on August 31, 2015, 06:48:30 EDT Soooo, are we checkerboarding for Oklahoma or not? I'm leaning toward not.
Title: Re: Checkerboard OU? Post by: Creek Walker on August 31, 2015, 08:03:12 EDT I would think not. If so, it would've already been announced. They're probably saving it for Georgia, and Jimmy Hyams is wrong again.
I don't understand not doing if for Oklahoma, though. I assume the thinking is that by the time the UGA game rolls around that will be a higher-profile game, and without knowing which recruits are scheduled to visit either weekend, that might be a bigger recruiting weekend on campus. But UT-OKLA is going to be a much-watched game. Heck, if I were in charge, I'd start a tradition of checker-boarding every big game. The UF game last year was one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen in Neyland. Title: Re: Checkerboard OU?

In regards to our distinctive endzone design, we would urge you to henceforth refer to them as "draughtboards".
