VOLS Sign

One of the things I loved most about Neyland Stadium when I was a student at UT was the VOLS sign that anchored the south end zone overlooking the Tennessee River. According to Biddingforgood.com, which is auctioning the sign, "In 1976, when the southeast upperdeck was completed in Neyland Stadium, creating a horseshoe shape, the VOLS sign was installed... an orange background with white letters that soon became an icon for Tennesee fans. The letters remained there and were unchanged until 1998 when the jumbotron was first installed for the 1999 season." If I were flush I'd love to have them.
