Coach Vaught certainly was one of the great icons in SEC football. If you look at the list of names (of) great all-Americans from here that played for him ... you just get a sense of what he's meant to this conference.
One of the great things about the Southeastern Conference is our fans and our support -- the importance of college football. On occasion that exuberance goes over the top. What we'd ultimately like to do is channel it on the field.
That's what makes this conference like it is - they're icons. And coach Vaught was certainly a great icon of SEC sports.
