Nice, I will use this at work on Monday.

Ive been using the "We were UT before you were a state" argument for years. Go Vols!

You can also remind them that if it weren't for the Volunteers from Tennessee, they'd be the University of Mexico.

Have you ever thought about the links between Texas and Tennessee. Amazing really. TN "mascot" the Volunteer from the war in Texas, the Colors of their teams are very similar, UT and UT, their current coach is from TN, and many people (from TN) have family in Texas. Maybe its just me.

Say "Tennessee was UT before Texas was a country" instead.

I don't think its just you. I have thought about the same things. Also, I have dated several girls from Texas and I recently committed to my internship for next summer that is in Houston TX. I wasn't seeking one in Texas but it just happened

I'm like a latter day Davy Crockett...except the only thing I volunteered for was a better paying job.

Sam Houston was the governor of Tennessee before he was the leader of Texas.

I have a lot of respect for Texas. They have a winning program like us, clearly a good choice in colors, and a lot of good traditions. Other than the whole stealing Chris Simms thing, I like them. Especially come Jan. 7.

You can also remind them that they started playing football after us.

At least you are first at something.

Anyone know where I can find some discounted textbooks? :question:

Seriously, go away.

Isn't South Carolina way older than USC?

I always like to say, "If it wasn't for a few good VOLUNTEERS, you might not have a state."

In other breaking news, Tennessee borders 7 states...the most of any state.

Smokey is our mascot. There are billions and billions of their mascot served.

My wife is a (other) UT fan from Austin. If it's Bama vs. (other) UT I can't win. With the exception of seeing Teabag cry cry cry and my Saints, this has been an awful year so far.
