Giant orange and white human checkerboard on tap for Kentucky

The Kentucky Wildcats are to be greeted by a giant orange and white human checkerboard when they visit on March 1, 2006:

The University of Tennessee basketball program will experience another first on March 1. For the home finale against rival Kentucky, the Vols will attempt to make the entire lower bowl of Thompson-Boling Arena become an orange and white human checkerboard with specially designed Tennessee basketball T-shirts. By strategically alternating the arena sections so that fans in one section adorn orange, with adjacent sections dressing in white, the goal is for Vol fans to create a first-of-its-kind human checkerboard.

Very cool.

Oh, and the game’s sold out, but it’s on Jefferson Pilot.

    That does sound cool. I’ll have to go somewhere to watch it since on JP.
