Which school do you support
The REAL UT.
The one you stole colors from. The one you stole running through the T from.
The one that was UT when you were still answering to Antonio López de Santa Anna.

You sure about that?
FACT CHECK ON AISLE 1998
quote:
On September 10, 1794, two years before Tennessee became a state and at a meeting of the legislature of the Southwest Territory at Knoxville, Blount College was established with a charter.
quote:
The new, all-male, non-sectarian institution struggled for 13 years with a small student body and faculty, and in 1807, the school was rechartered as East Tennessee College as a condition of receiving the proceeds from the settlement devised in the Compact of 1806.
quote:
In 1840, the college was elevated to East Tennessee University (ETU). The school's status as a religiously non-affiliated institution of higher learning was unusual for the period of time in which it was chartered, and the school is generally recognized as the oldest such establishment of its kind west of the Appalachian Divide.[13]
quote:
In 1845, Texas was annexed into the United States. The state's Constitution of 1845 failed to mention higher education.[23] On February 11, 1858, the Seventh Texas Legislature approved O.B. 102, an act to establish the University of Texas, which set aside $100,000 in United States bonds toward construction of the state's first publicly funded university
quote:
East Tennessee University was renamed the University of Tennessee in 1879 by the state legislature.
