UT, UTn, UTx ??

[LosGatos]

With Texas now (almost) in the SEC, can we settle on what to call them? UT is ambiguous as there will be two UTs in the SEC shortly. Frankly I don't care. How about UT for the Ugly Orange in Knoxville and UTx for the Ugly Orange in Austin?

Let's put some thought into this and invite other SEC fans to have a more rounded approach. We want this to stick and some of these fans have some creativity. Might be a good idea to turn it over to SEC shorts to make the call.

Both are ugly orange for sure.

TN and TX is how I always reference them but like your ideas better OP.

UT Knoxville is UT to me ...UT Texas never enters my mind and if they do it's just Texas ..if anyone says UT I automatically register it as Knoxville.

I heard Texas coach went ape shit last night after the game was over for ucf players giving them the horns down sign

Tennessee becomes UTL (UT Light)

 

[secrules3]

It's UT and TX IMO...

UTA and UTK, both are like a UTI.

Painful and makes it impossible to pi$$ on them.

UT will always be Tennessee in the SEC to me and flagship university. I hate Texas and Texas A&M like you guys hate UT 🍺

This BS started decades ago over marketing. Sides agreed at the time that Texas would refer to themselves as "UT" west of the Mississippi River, TN east of the Mississippi. Could give a rat's ass myself.

 

[Oldtrainer]

For me UT will always be the Vols. U. of Texas will always be the Horns.

Yeah they better get used to not getting special treatment over horns down.

They're gonna be getting a lot of it.

Easy answer. Drop the UTs

Call em the Horns and the Perps. Everyone knows without explanation which is which.

I agree. If you Google UT, Texas comes up, but they're new to the SEC, so have to take a back seat to the other UT that was already here. That'll probably piss them off, but tough titties as the new guys never gets dibs.

 

[Nuke99m]

I say we call Texas UT just to piss off Tennessee.
