I always call them UTA, but that makes the folks at the University of Texas at Arlington mad....

Even after that...The university of Tennessee was named "The University of Tennessee" before the University of Texas was founded.

You have to be a member of the SEC for 20 years before you can express public hate for an original SEC member.

LSU isn't in West Baton Rouge parish, it is in East Baton Rouge Parish.

When I tell people where I went to school I say UT and they all know it means Texas.

Brand awareness:
Texas > TN

School rankings:
Texas > TN

More recent success in football:
Texas > TN

But as others have said, no one here really gives a shite if a few Tennessee folks disagree.

You evidently don't understand OU and TexAss fans, the one thing we can agree on is we pretty much hate everyone else!

Didn’t Tennessee men save their asses at the Alamo?

Give it to Tenner on that technicality alone.

This must be a different Alamo than the one I know about.

Ok. That's fair. I really haven't experienced that so am just basing that on my own perception. Plus as a Texas fan, I don't really care about which school is called UT and am fine with either, neither or both. I think a lot, if not most, Texas fans would be fine with just being called Texas.

"You may all call us UT. You may call Texas anything but UT.
Texas may call us UT or just Dad."

Your attempts at trolling are so very sad and tired. As many Texas posters have implied again and again, it doesn't really add much or detract much from Longhorn alums or fans lives who "owns" the UT moniker. But as it appears so unbelievably important to 10RC fans here, as evidenced by your posts, I suggest we say sure...you do you, K?

Bless your heart...

Since everyone but a handful who ran before the battle died in the Alamo, that was a fail.
