re: If it wasn’t for the Volunteers, it would be the University of Mexico and Mexico A&M.

I get what you're saying but this misses the point. Texans didn't magically appear in Texas one day. The Tennesseeians, Virginians, South Carolinians, left for opportunity. It is not too dissimilar from when some of the English left for America. Southerners left for Texas. Texas is the shite. We took your best and created a nation. Now we're the best state in the best country in the world.
