Tennessee vs Texas (merged)

[ArmchairQB]

Off to a good start

With the addition of Texas to the SEC will Tennessee no longer be referred to as UT in the SEC? Will we be Tennessee and Texas or maybe UTK and UTA?

My ATM nephew calls the Austin school, TU.

I’ve been in TX since the mid 80s. The university is commonly called “UT”. In fact almost universally in my experience.

Only called UT… university of Texas did come about like 80 years after university of Tennessee. So Tennessee was first. BUT imo it’s based on location. If someone says to me UT I think texas. I live in texas.

The only thing that needs to be said is we were UT when they were .

It seems every school hates Texas...I think they are overvalued as a program. What makes them so highly perceived. They really aren't that special. Theyve been able to keep their head above water playing in the big 12. They will be fortunate to be middle of the pack once they play I the conference.

I think we should do a game in SA every 5 yrs, call it The Battle of the Alamo

I personally can't wait to see coach Heupel start wrecking his alma mater...Boy they are gonna hate him in Oklahoma!...I honestly hope he is to them what Spurrier was to us.

They rake in more $$ than any other program. Massive fanbase and they will improve their roster quickly w NIL deals. SEC is in denial w where Texas is right now.

That's the same reason LSU fans hate Saban. Strange isn't it. A guy that brought you a natty is scorned.

Tennessee squares off against Texas next Saturday at Austin in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge as Barnes looks to beat the school that fired him.

Blah blah blah. Athletes care more about the future than the now. They want to go where they have the beat chance to get in the league. Texas is sunk right now

Without Tennessee, the University of Texas would be the University of Northern Mexico at Austin

And playing soccer

Let ESPN host the poll and you'll see a flip in those numbers

This is like arguing which is the hotter Corey

 

[rockytophigh]

I loathe their arrogant @sses. Copycat punks....it's time to put Jr in the corner!!!!!

They are joining the conference, and I would like to play them. If they are going to be here, then we should capitalize on the disdain between the two states/fanbases as much as possible, because rivalries are the best part of college sports.

People may flame you, because they are resistant to the change that we have zero power to affect. However, if everything is going to burn, I would at least like to have some fun slugfests before it goes down the tubes.

We will never be able to cheat on a scale to keep up with Texas. It will be comparable to adding another Alabama to the league. If it weren’t for NIL I might not mind them joining.

If it not for the Volunteers from the great state of Tennessee there would be no Texas. So UT refers to the University of Tennessee.
