LOL. I cringe when I hear UTK. The flagship state university should stand on its own. The satellites should have the city moniker IMHO. UTC. UTM etc. TX should be UTA.

Yeah, the problem with UTA is that there is already UT-Arlington that is referred to as that. I really hate to tell people on VN, but my experience is that virtually everyone who works here refers to and writes it as UTK. Therein lies my excuse that I’ve been indoctrinated by a bunch of academics who don’t know any better.

How about UTX? I was surprised to hear how often UT refers to themselves at UTK. I can’t imagine other state land grant universities referring to themselves that way. Just my litttle pet peeve…

I guess because articles aren’t generally used in abbreviations, or is it a preposition ?

Damn counsellor. Your are supposed to be a master of the king’s English.

If the project is right, LSU and MSU have the toughest 2 year in and year out.

Could we trade KY for SC?

The SEC gets tougher in all sports with the additions of Oklahoma and Texas in 2024.
