Georgia Tech has one
Tulane has one
That leaves Sewanee as the only Charter SEC school without an icon on tRant
This has been known to make Tigers sad

Are they both living?
My buds that played football there have shuffled the mortal coil already

Still one of the greatest stories in college football.
1899 Sewanee Tigers (Wikipedia)
quote:
Sewanee was one of the first college football powers of the South.
The 1899 Tigers won 12 games and lost none, outscored opponents 322–10, and won the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) title. Several writers and sports personalities consider this Sewanee team one of the greatest football teams ever to play.
With just 13 players, the team known as the "Iron Men" had a six-consecutive-day road trip with five shutout wins over Texas A&M, Texas, Tulane, LSU, and Ole Miss.
This trip is recalled memorably with the Biblical allusion "...and on the seventh day they rested."

I would definitely add the flair. I didn't attend but visited in high school and had the absolute time of my life. Wish I could have gone there.
I have a couple buddies that played on the basketball team and a couple that played on the football team
