You would not believe the shite the UTex people said. Well..you would but still it was shocking from an SEC perspective. Of course, it only made me want A&M in more.
Y'all are better off with us than the sips.
Which might not be saying much, but hey, it's something right?

UT and A&M have far more in common than most realize. We were the first state school in the nation to have a military program, way back in 1844. We weren't forced into it by the various land-grant acts/Morrill Act. A few years later, our university's entire company along with countless regular Tennessee Volunteers would fight in the Mexican-American War.
And a little known fact: for many years every student at the university of Tennessee was expected to follow military code and every student was organized into cadet battalions and 4 companies. We were a fully functional military garrison until 1877.
