First SEC home game is.......

I lived in Texas for 10 years. A lot of Texas football fans know about the role of Tennesseans in Texas history, especially those who talk that "real UT" nonsense to Vol fans in Texas. I saw Coach Barnes Texas team lose to Tennessee in Austin as well as Pat's teams win several times in Austin. And if anyone goes to the Alamo, it is quite obvious by by the commemorative list of defenders who died there and identified by state. Many other Tennesseans figure prominently such as Sam Houston, a member of Congress and governor of Tennessee before going to Texas. He lead the victory at San Jacinto, the deciding battle in the war for Texas independence as well as the first president of the Republic of Texas and later US Senator from Texas. Houston was a protege of Andrew Jackson as well as James Polk, both presidents elected from Tennessee and who supported Texas to become part of the United States. Both my children went to high school in Texas prior to going to UTK and Texas schools had, and may still have, Texas history as a mandatory course. Came in handy for those "Real UT discussions".

Vols fan in Aggieland.Texas history is mandatory in the seventh grade. It should also be taught again in high school, but isn’t. Amazing the overlap between Tennessee and Texas history, and an outstanding summary of it from you as well.

$500 minimum get in price i bet.

I would be shocked if it's that low man.

The Texas folks down here are kinda looking forward to Neyland for some odd reason. Want to see if the hype matches reality I suppose

Not the sharpest crayons in the box, but they do have $$$ to spend on tickets

I had assumed that one of our non conference games would be later in the season, but I had not looked at the dates for them until now. Is that just because we already had them scheduled for then for a long time? I see that some still play an easy non conference late in the season. I hope that we are able to do that in the future and not always have all 3 right at the beginning.

Funny thing is, most Texans don’t know that had it not been for Tennesseans, there would not be a (Texas).

That is the absolute truth. They would be the Mexican Longhorns if they played football.

Does any SEC team really play @ Vandy? Or is it more a home away from home kind of thing?

Vols fan in Aggieland. Aggie fans are already moaning about playing the Vols along with Alabama and Texas as three of their last five games. I hope Tennessee can hang a big L on them this time around.

Just booked our AirBNB for that weekend.

Welcome to Aggieland. I hope you have a wonderful time, and, of course, the Vols do their part.

Along the same lines as "The gulf of America", Texas could have been called Texaco.
