July 1, 20241 yr Tennessee's consistent hatred of UT is so weird. Like, we don't think about them at all. And not in the fake "we don't think about Texas A&M" way. Like, they actually don't take up any brain space.

It was weird living in Knoxville (20 years) and getting the "We're the real UT" so often. Before and after moving up there it just never crossed my mind to argue over the abbreviation.

I wrote about this somewhere, but we did a road trip last summer that basically went entirely through SEC country over 2 weeks. I’d wear UT gear occasionally and every time I did, I get comments about Tennessee being “ the real UT” and the thing that drove them crazy was my complete ignorance and indifference. “Cool” and “good for you guys” were met with befuddlement. Then I’d just say “look, we’re Texas. I don’t need to explain or debate that shit with anyone. “ and that would end the conversation every time. It’s a land of sensitive, insecure people when it comes to Texas showing up. Bama is largely excepted from that, except for their behavior around the stadium directly after their loss.

July 2, 20241 yr Popular Post Texas in the SEC is a threat to their whole identity. I have family all over the SEC. They have to have their identity of the south having the best football. Its super important to them and if we show up and win the league it will shatter that narrative they've clung to their whole lives. They're scared and they're pissed that their life long claims are actually going to get tested. They know Texas is its own thing. Thats their whole problem. They cant claim us as part of the family because we aren't interested. This is about money but its also about competition. If we come in and win the league they will feel conquered. Our timing couldnt be better and they know it. Saban knew it. Sankey knows it and he's in. The majority of their fans are pissed at him. They cant afford to lose the SEC SEC chant. Its a huge part of their culture. I dont have anything against these people, I like them very much. But we are coming to knock down their sand castle, and it's going to be fucking awesome.

No worries, we just need to wait until one of those obese fucks starts having a heat stroke up in the Neyland nosebleeds (it’s inevitable), and offer to pray over him. I hear that shit will get you a segment on the local news and a really sweet thread on SECrant.
July 2, 20241 yr I think this is a bi-directional sentiment with Tennessee. Very little in our worlds seem to overlap outside of Bru McCoy.

I can see why Tenn would be a little disgruntled with Horns moving in….the “real” UT pushes them aside, as does the real burnt orange color…..they will acquiesce…..and like it.

July 2, 20241 yr Several years ago, I was in Colorado staying at a friend's. He introduced me to local guy who was very handy with construction and contracting. Nice guy. He was wearing a Tennessee hat that I commented on. I said something nice like there wouldn't be a Texas without Tennessee. He asked where I went to school. University of Texas. Texas! We're the real UT. I shrug. I'd never known there was an issue there. I couldn't muster up much care about it. And our color orange is- I cut him off. Yeah, you can see it from space! Not a bad guy. He had a good laugh. He ended the comparison.
July 2, 20241 yr Outside of Tennessee and maybe two other states, nobody gives two fucks what the university of Tennessee considers itself to be sharted to. We’re UT. We are Texas. We will use them interchangeably as we see fit. Sure they were founded first. Dates don’t make a shit.

July 2, 20241 yr *No wonder most of these fanbases are acting like such cunts. Texas has either scoreboard or all-time record on every school except: Vanderbilt - We got to get this fixed quickly. South Carolina - We've only played each other once. 1957. Lost 27-21, Coincidentally, I think the only other schools that have scoreboard are LSU (been mostly cool as far as I've seen) and Arkansas (I'm not sure I've seen any reaction from that fanbase. Do they have internet?) *Slightly drunk. My "research" could contain mistakes.

If you've got to run around telling someone something completely unsolicited, the opposite is probably fucking true. The Real UT? Ok. The REAL flagship college of Texas? The Real Big Brother? A real follower of Christ? You're not a Karen, but? I didn't have sexual relations with that woman? Yeah, we all know the story. Tennessee is no different in their little dick insecurity as any other sect of losers. If they want to have a conversation, they can support their position with some facts. Oh, you're the real UT? Well, do you have the most money? The most titles? The higher academic ranking? More living alumni? More iconic and internationally recognized color scheme and logo? No, you're just another bunch of fucking hillbillies. But congratulations on your piece of the Smokey Mountains, well done. It's beautiful, but I'd still rather go to Asheville.
