With so many running around VN, it has to be one of them

I would bet a lot of money that the front plate is one of those house divided ones.

Some states still have 2, 1 one the front and 1 on the back. Is Florida one of them?

I would have culled the gator early on in the process.

Most northern states still have 2 plates. The only places I've seen 1 plate is the south(east).

It makes me cringe. If I marry a woman who pulls for another team, I refuse to get a house divided tag. I'll give her a closet down stairs for all her memorabilia.

This may be an amazing attempt at a troll job, but I could not stand to have those colors and that gator on my vehicle at all times. I'd vandalize it myself.

Ha, you got me curious, Yankee.

Turns out almost 40% of all states issue only back plates (19 of the 50).

These include northern/mid-western states (Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Delaware), great plains states (Kansas, Oklahoma), and western states (Arizona, New Mexico).

So it's really not just a southeastern thing.

But why haven't more states switched to back plates only? Fact is, if the car is sitting still, you only need one plate to ID it...and if the car is moving, you're far more likely to be looking at its back moving away by the time you know you need to ID it.

And it is far less expensive...like a 50% savings in material and labor for the tags.

One thing is for sure: that Gator / Tennessee tag is just as wrong as lips on a bullfrog.

My wife's best friend is this exactly. Funny thing is, she's from Vonore, he's from Maryville. Luckily, their little girl (who I call my niece) has WAY more Pantone 151 in her wardrobe than she does blue. Dunno how that happened, lol.

I would say that is a Vol Fan in FL. I don't think you can get a UT plate in FL but damn if you can say go VOLS!

You gotta train em right off the bat.. for example when I got married and we arrived at our hotel, I showered first, and when I came out of the shower, I tossed my pants to my bride and told her to try my pants on..
she replied " Honey you know those won't fit me", they are too big. I replied;'" thats right, I wear the pants in this family and don't you forget".
When she finished freshening up, she came out of bathroom and tossed her panties to me and said;
" Here try these on, and i immeadiately replied, "don't be silly, you know I can't get into these"
She smiled and winked and then replied, "thats right.. not until you change your attitude". :)

I woulda said the same, except that's a vanity plate. There are a ton of designs to choose from. Only one of them has a stupid looking gator on it.

In other words, these folks picked out a UF-specific tag, then put pro-UT words on it.

That's just wrong, wrong, wrong. Wrong as screen doors on a submarine.

Think some of it is that it's easier for tolls and cameras

(Though of course they should be able to get a good reading odd of just the back plate, right? But I'm not an expert)

If you live in Texas, you'll have to have 2 plates on your vehicle. I guess this keeps the prisoners busy stamping those plates.

That would make for an interesting game day experience. Gator husband vs Vol wife.

Wife's family moved from FL to TN. We met. We were married in 2006. They aren't big football fans. But I was convinced I was going to have to get a divorce for the good of Volnation. :)

My wife is a Longhorn, we have different opinions on the Alamo.

She thinks the Texans at the Alamo were smart to bail and I said they were a bunch of pu--ies, I mean meows.

Of course, they repay us by stealing our initials and tried to steal our colors but they F'ed up and burnt the orange.

I hope she aint reading this...

I feel your pain, my husband is also a Longhorn. We are always arguing over the proper shade of orange. Whoever wins on Saturday gets to keep the flag out all week. Luckily, it's been the right flag for awhile :)
