The Southeastern Conference has produced some of the toughest offensive linemen in college football history, and
fans can now vote on the finest of all time. It’s all part of AT&T Inc.’s (NYSE:T) “Best of 75 Years of SEC Football,” an
11-week campaign in which fans can vote for their favorite players, coaches, and traditions from the previous 75
years.
“As the SEC’s official telecommunications sponsor and presenting sponsor of SECSports.com, AT&T wanted to help
the conference celebrate their 75th anniversary,” said Steve Sitton, regional president of AT&T’s wireless operations
in the Southeast. “The SEC has always been recognized for its prolific offenses, and the offensive line is a key
component of that success. Fans may now vote for the best offensive lineman ever. But they must get out and vote if
they want their favorite to win!”
They will then be given a choice of items to select from, including notifications, trivia, SEC video, news, downloads,
and contests. Voting began on September 4 and will run until November 16, with results announced weekly.
Choosing the best of all time will not be an easy process; just look at the list of nominees below:
Last week’s voting determined the contenders for the finest SEC wide receiver of all time, with Craig Yeast of the
University of Kentucky, Ozzie Newsome of the University of Alabama, and Terry Beasley of Auburn University
coming in first through third place. The three finalists defeated nominees from the other nine SEC institutions to
advance to the finals, which will be voted on during the final two weeks of the program in November. Every text
message vote cast enters you into a sweepstakes to win a trip to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game.
