"I'm happy to be a part of the REAL UT," when the reporter asked him about his brother being recruited here and eventually going to Texas. That is awesome.

Don't know how old this program is, so this may be old news. But I thought it was cool so I don't care what you think :machgun::gun::machgun::gun::machgun::gun:

I think the original and first established is enough..I believe that is the "Rule of Trademarking"...They are copycats...Maybe we should get Bill Battle on this for the "REAL UT":dance2:

Of course he would say that, not being recruited by the "other, younger U.T., U.T.A." Interesting that his brother didn't turn out to be a world beater, as he apparently thought he was going to be after signing with the younger U.T., just a notch in Bubba Mack Brown's hat for stealing him from the real U.T. A good career by M. Simms would be a little vindication/revenge of sorts for UTK.

We were UT when texas was still mexico

Well, UT existed while Texas was governed by Mexico, but not as "The University of Tennessee."

1794 - UT chartered as "Blount College"
1807 - Name changed to "East Tennessee College"
1840 - Name Changed to "East Tennessee University"
1869 - Name Changed to "The University of Tennessee"

1821-1836: Texas was governed by Mexico, however, during this time period UT didn't exist as "UT".

1836-1845: The Republic of Texas existed as an independent country.

1845: Texas became a State.

1883: The University of Texas was chartered

So either side can argue the "UT did or did not exist while Texas was Mexico based on the name semantics" thing, but... no one can argue against the fact that UTK was "UT" (1869) before UTA was "UT" (1883). :dance2:

If it weren't for the Tennessee Volunteers, UT Austin would be the University of North Mexico.

And I know this isn't how the majority thinks, but USC will always be South Carolina to me. Of course, I've lived here since I was 7.

I'm with you, but I went to college about 45 minutes from where you live (no, not Clemson, thank the Lord).
