Texas actually has higher Mountains than Tennessee. They are the eastern edge of the Rockies.
we are the VOLUNTEER state. We are called the VOLUNTEER state for a reason. Our brave men cleaned up problems when they needed cleaning up! All we needed was to be asked. Like when we send our best out to Texas when they needed us. Without our VOLUNTEERS, today Texas would be called Mexico!
GO VOLS!
That is what I like about Volnation. Not only informational, but educational too!!! Where else can you get a geography class while talking about sports? What a well-rounded sect of society!!!!There is nothing in Texas like Rocky Top.
There is that southwest corner that comes closest, but God forgot to put plants there. Real plants. Cactus don't count.
Here, let me put my expert geological, geographical, and botanist skills to work:

See what I mean? No green mountains. God was probably practicing on Texas before he did his masterpiece in Tennessee.
“If it wasn’t for Tennessee we’d be a bunch of Mexicans”, I’ve made common cause with tons of Aggies with that little fun fact.They were known as Texicans at one point. Germany in WW1 tried to persuade Mexico that if they joined their side, Texas and a couple of other states would be returned to them when the Kaiser won. That communication was made known to POTUS Wilson who then immediately declared war and that piece of history is done. There are active organizations to this day operating to have Texas and other states returned to Mexico. If you use google & EDGE as your search engine you'll never find them. Use duckduckgo or others that are neutral searches about Aztlan. Here's a link to one of the organizations that most Americans have never heard of working to retake land from the USA and return it to Mexico.

At certain moments, this might be the highest spot in Texas.. Not all of Texas… the highest point in Texas sits at just over 8,000 ft which is higher than the highest point in Tennessee at Clingmans Dome.

Growing up I used to always hear about them stealing our UT logo, our Power T logo, etc. I don't exactly know how much validity are in those claims but I think the addition to them in the conference could be fun/good for us.
Esp if we can win early. Texas has had their fair share of recent football blunders as well.
We have the similar color schemes, similar logos, and similar state pride.
I know this is likely a stretch, but I've seen some negativity about them and OK joining the conference so I thought maybe we could look at this in a more positive light!!
I think having them on the schedule every few years could be fun. "The Battle for the Power T" or something along those lines. (I'm sure someone could easily come up with a better name than that, lol)
After all we are the REAL UT, and not them. Tennessee should be considered the real UT, not Texas. Here's why.
What do yall think?
