During halftime of Tennessee’s game against Ohio Saturday, the Pride of the Southland Band paid tribute to arguably the school’s greatest coach in the 120-year history of the university by honoring Pat Summitt.
To honor Summitt, the university’s band displayed the logo that has come to represent the famed women’s basketball coach on Rocky Top:

Summitt, who had been battling Alzheimer’s disease, passed away this year at the age of 61. The Lady Vols’ basketball coach is revered by many as one of the top coaches in all of collegiate history. It was announced in August that the football team would honor Summitt with a helmet decal all season long.
