Tennessee fans pull off checkerboard at Neyland, Lil Jon makes appearance (sort of)

The Tennessee fans pulled it off. In an organic attempt to "checkerboard" Neyland Stadium to mimic the program's famous end zones, 102,000-plus made it happen for Saturday's game against rival Florida.

The school got behind the fan-led effort on social media, but no color-coordinated shirts were provided on such short notice, so there was some fear it wouldn't quite work.

But it did.

Oh, and let's not forget about rapper Lil Jon, who created quite the buzz in Tennessee this week with his embrace of UT's new "Third Down For What?" song. He had this to say to Vols fans on the Jumbotron right before Saturday's game.
