How is Texas going to cope with losing the claim to "UT" within the conference?

I doubt that SEC folks will ever think of UT as Texas rather than Tennessee. Will the Longherns be able to handle this reality?

EDIT: It took a really long time for me to start my first real offseason thread.

Not well. We call them tu and they are very unhappy about it.

Texas will always be UTerus University.

They came to our house 100 years late. Tennessee is a charter member of the SEC so we get to keep UT. It'd be a different story if Tennessee went to the Big12.

Since you're an Aggie, I'm sure you're joking, but I'll upvote you since I agree with your statement.

But in reality, I think most of us don't care. Call us UT, call us Texas.. we're just glad to be in this conference.

Let's hope "UTe and UTw" doesn't catch on like USCe and USC.

They’ve lost their soul. Austin doesn’t count as Texas anymore. They don’t even deserve the right to refer to themselves as Texans

I don't really think any coping will be necessary. Very few alumni refer to themselves as "UT" graduates or fans, and most of us just refer to the school as "Texas".

Plus, seeing as Tennessee was the first "UT" in the conference, it's only fair they keep the moniker. We'll be happy with "Texas"

Lol not at all. I think you're mistaking unhappiness for pity.

We think it's hilarious that y'all have to call us a different name due to your inferiority complex

They will learn who the real UT is on the field the hard way soon enough.

We don't have to call them USCjr, calling them USCw works just fine

If it wasn't for Tennesseans Texans would be watching Liga MX.

The SEC has a lot of problems. Texas will take over and get things fixed. No one cares what you call us but feel free to say "thank you" in advance.
