Tennessee Volunteers Football Trucker Hat

When fans think of UT football, they think decades of time-honored traditions, like the team's pushes to charge the checkerboard each game. The phrase predates Tennessee's actual checkered end zones, when legendary Volunteers football coach General Neyland would tell his players to, “Charge the checkerboard!” as they ran toward Ayres Hall, a campus building with a slight checkerboard pattern in its design. Brought to you in partnership with College Vault.
