KNOXVILLE — Watch out, Nashville.

After the success of the "Checker Neyland" fan initiative last week against Florida, Vols fans apparently have big plans for Tennessee's season finale against Vanderbilt on Nov. 29.

On Sunday night, a comment on 247sports.com's Vols message board called for Tennessee fans to form a checkerboard pattern at Vanderbilt Stadium by alternating orange and white sections. Fans later found a seating map for the stadium and began diagramming which sections would be instructed to wear which color.

As of 5:30 p.m. Monday, the hashtag #CheckerVandy had been used 147 times on Twitter. Tweets containing the hashtag had been retweeted 828 times.

According to data from a recent New York Times college football fan map, which was populated by Facebook page likes, Tennessee fans outnumber Vanderbilt fans in Davidson County 22.3 percent to 21.3 percent. Large swatches of orange are common when the Vols visit Nashville every other year.

Vanderbilt has won the past two meetings between the in-state rivals but just three of the past 31.
