| Just moved to Houston and I hate hearing UT on sports talk and then realizing that it refers to Texas, by the way, there is no such thing as burnt orange, if you burn something it turns brown. They dont want to acknowledge it, but their colors are brown and white, I dont care what they say.

Tennessee fans and Texas fans hating on eachother is always great. Who stole what from who? Who stole the colors, who stole the logos, who's the real UT, etc.
I just go back to what I always say. Play some games. Historically, Texas and Tennessee have played eachother 3 times, and Texas has won twice. So I have to give the spoils to Texas. Schedule some games, see who takes the series lead.

| Yeah but that's state vs. state. We're talking football bragging rights with the UT's and shades of orange and such.

| I could be wrong, but I think Tennessee was a university when Texas was still Mexico.
