Athletic success? Texas.
Academics? LOL. Texas big time.
Money? Even bigger LOL. Texas.
Color orange? Texas.
BBQ? Texas.
Country music? Texas by a mile.
Mountains? Texas actually has them. Texas.
National Parks? Big Bend>Smokies. Texas.

Tennessee wins the Mountain argument imo. East TN is pretty fricking awesome..

But to your main point..



Texas is the real UT and it isn’t very close.

“The Battle of UT” on tRant?

IMO Winner takes the title until we play again..

East Tennessee has far more scenery. I'm with you on everything else.

Texas has better brisket. Tennessee wins hands down on pork.
I love the Big Bend region, but it's not superior to East Tennessee.
Tennessee has a better climate and a lot of water. I'm in Austin this weekend, and this place is hot and dry as a bone.
I don't anyone but you that would say Texas has better music.

They can call themselves UT even if they didn't have the "University of Tennessee" name until after the University of Texas was created by the Texas lege. Whatever makes them feel better about themselves.

The famous "Vols?". They preferred dying in Texas to staying in Tennessee. Do I really need to say more?

Both have a history of great music, similar towns but different. Nashville is great, but some don’t like Bro Country.

This is what many people fail to realize. Tennessee just feels "mountainous" but in reality their landscape is like a freshly laid down asphalt road that was opened to traffic too soon or remelted in the hot summer sun. Roly poly without any real altitude.

I agree, the Smokey Mountains are beautiful. But I would put the prettiest parts of Big Bend up against any area in Tennessee.
They do have us beat with climate though...not gonna lie.

Guadalupe peak is 8 hours from Austin

Are you comparing the universities or the states??

Did Tennessee spend the first 100 years of its existence calling itself Tennessee University?

Because Utrans didn’t change its name until the 70’s

But Tennessee also has the blues. I'm not a fan of the new country music emerging in Nashville and other places. I'm more of a George Jones, Merle Haggard kind of guy.

Tennessee and Texas have long, interwoven histories with great traditions. Should be a really fun game.

Argument is stupid af. Texas is closer to our offspring than a sibling to have a rivalry with.
