So? UT is Tennessee and it will stay that way. Everyone in the SEC will simply refer to Texas as "Texas". It's that simple.

We find the answer in the founding of these schools

Tennessee founded in 1794 UT
and several years later Texas University founded in 1883 tu

Since the 2nd largest school in Texas school was founded nearly 90 years after Tennessee was established, we all can agree Tennessee is called UT and Texas University shall be called Hey You!

It is a rarity to hear any Texas fan say UT. Nearly all Texas fans say "Texas" or "Longhorns". It really is a non issue. Tennessee can continue as "UT" and Texas as "Texas". Problem solved.

Works for me. However, I’m sure an Ag will come along and not like it.

None of that shite matters. Texas has the money and the bullshite walks. Texas will end up keeping UT and Tennessee will be called UTK.

Just watch and see. This shite will be the ball that gets the Texas power grab rolling. They'll shitify the SEC just like they did the Big 12.

Tennessee can have it because I'm tired of their incessant cries of "We're the real UT!"

Of course, if they were they wouldn't have to repeatedly declare it, but whatever. We're Texas, or the Longhorns, or the Horns, or whatever bitchtittied moniker you meauxs wanna come up with. It don't make a shite.

UT is Tennessee. Period. OG SEC. You frickin Jerry-come-latelys will be UTx which is commensurate with your tranny vibes.

No one in Texas cares. Tennessee wore UT caps in the College World Series. Texas never does, except in minor trim on some unis. We use the Longhorn logo.

Actually not true. Did a test of this in California on a business trip……mentioned UT and the person automatically assumed Knoxville

It's the same for USC - which the other USC isn't even an SEC team but yet this has been settled for a while. We have USCe and USCw.

For UT we have UTk and UTa. I'm sure it's not too hard to know which is which.

Personally I just call them texas or horns. Lower case 't', of course, so we know we're not talking about the state itself.
