Welcome to the only REAL UT my VOL brother!!
Btw...Tennessee had this priceless University before Texas was even a state!!!
Also, the reason we are called the Volunteers is because the territory now known as Texas was getting its azz handed to it by Mexico, and asked for Tennessee to come and save the day... Davy Crockett and an army of thousands of Tennessee Volunteers went out west and pimpsmacked those same Mexicans...

* we had previously mustered 1500 Volunteers under Andrew Jackson who went down to New Orleans and dirtnapped the British.
Moral of the story:
Tennessee folks Volunteer to kick azz when azz kickin' is what is needed. Texas is just like the French in ww2 and would have been overrun if we didn't do what we do best. Volunteer..to kick azz.
