The amount of threads derailed and polluted with arguments about who is the real “UT” is too damn high! There needs to be an established standard so this topic can be put out of its misery once and for all.

I’m sure it will be followed by all, but what should the punishment be for those that don’t adhere to the rule book?

Public ridicule. Shaming. Name-calling. Spread rumors that they eat more oatmeal cream pies a day than Saban.

Call them Texass. I do not care for that university nor A&M nor that entire state.

Is this a bad thing?

Little Debbie is a Tennessee gal.

I’ve got no quarrel with Debbie. But the Oatmeal cream pie is the worst damn thing she makes. It makes sense that a queer like Saban would prefer indulging in the worst of the worst. Just looking at the degenerates and scallywags he recruits to his team, it’s all tied together. The man has bad taste and a proclivity for trash.

We are the real UT and TN deals with it.

Tennesee claims UT by birthright, while the people have given us the title. They are as un-American as they come.

Texas is short enough, so just use that.

92% of Americans over the age of 13 consider The University of Texas to be "UT", the other 8% stated it is the University of Tennessee but acknowledged it was mostly due to their husbands threatening influence.

You know damn well that half these baws here can barely spell their own name, much less a state they don’t live in. They’re gonna abbreviate. The proof is plastered all over this site. We need a standard on here that no one in their right mind will argue with. “UTx” is a reasonable compromise all parties can agree on.

How about we just wait and see how the teams perform. Tennessee fans don’t like this idea though.

Maybe that’s true for “the people” where you come from (“steers and queers” I think is who you’re referring to), but for the rest of us not from Texas, you’re dead wrong.

Sounds made up, you got a source?

Also, even if this was true, we’re not talking about the opinions of people from Seattle and Massachusetts, we’re talking about the baws on here from SEC country. I’d bet those statistics would be reversed if you polled on this site.

It can be done! All trends start from 1 person and eventually they gain enough momentum to become a standard. I’m just trying to be the change I want to see in the world. Plus, cutting down on the forum sliding and conversation derailment will improve our collective experience here.
