1) Neyland 2) Summitt 3) Manning 4) Atkins Yes, it is football-centric, but I am not a big basketball fan.
Hard to cut it to 4. Neyland, Majors, Manning, Summitt. I think there's a few more names that might merit it equally.
I wouldn't put her on there over any of the others. My biggest problem with her is she accomplished what she did in a sport that is essentially nonexistent to 95% of the population.
Yah but she has a lot to do with it existing for the 5% plus just how recognizable and ambassadorial she was
I'd make two sets. One is just Robert Neyland smacking the shit out of Butch Jones for the "Champions of Life" type comments. And maybe [ddiapos] watching on a stool. A real one would be: 1. Neyland 2. Bernard King 3. Pat Summitt 4. Reggie White (Peyton is an obvious choice here, but there are more than a few valid options.)
Good choices if limited to players. otherwise, must have Neyland and Summit. Add Manning and King, although I am a big fan of Atkins.
