The Real UT?

[WoodsmanVol]

Just some hype to read. The offseason is just too freaking long.
Tennessee vs. Texas: a comparison

 

[CANNONVOLRUN]

Definitely an offseason thread but still a quick fun read.

 

[feathersax]

NOT surprised when I noticed this "fluff" was from the TENNESSEAN...a real rag that I receive weekends. Who wrote this drivel? Likely a VOL-hating Dore-mat. To even suggest Texas' finger sign rivals running through the "T" in Neyland is laughable. Woodsy, you got my gall stirred up. Happy? Oh yeah: Texas was invented by TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS!:whistling:

If not for Tennesseans, Texas would be a suburb of Mexico City.

If the US got control of Alaska, and Hawaii I'm sure we would've eventually brought in texas too.

Maybe we will, some day.

Brilliant.

Thanks to our scumbag politicians it's about to be just that.

Thanks for the morning LOL

+1

What? They give the edge to Texas ugly orange over our beloved Clorox Orange. No way.

I vote for Vols Orange!

 

[KBVol]

COLOR ORANGE
ADVANTAGE: TEXAS
The Longhorns look is classic and easy on the eyes. The Volunteers orange, particularly in a large group, can be jarring, depending on where your loyalty lies.


Wut? Burnt orange is "easy on the eyes" and more so than UTs more muted (my words) Orange? And wth does "jarring" mean in this context? I think it fairly easy to decipher where the author's "loyalty lies".

Noticed it's written by The Tennessean. Had to cover whoever's ass wrote that drivel.

Clay Travis maybe. no he would have claimed it hoping to be a Finebaum someday. David Climer, to weak for him. Ah, hell probably an intern from Texas.

Any true fan would have know about Texas ripping of and using the power T. I wonder if they ever settled the lawsuit for infringement. Hell we gave them the UT helment symbol now they want the power T.

 

[neyland05]

Maybe we will, some day.

Lol... Awesome

 

[hendersonvillevol]

there is only one UT and it is in KNOXVILLE, TN

I thought it was fairly written....

Living in Texas for the last 20 years, I can say that...aside from the occasional delusional yokel...this is a good natured nonissue...a fun back and forth between devoted followings. I'm as likely to get into a discussion with a fellow Vol fan than a Longhorn...course I'm in DFW...full of Sooners, LSU Tigers and...BAMMERS :yuck:...my brother-in- law is a lifelong Longhorn (living in Tennessee) and gets the same treatment...we take a friendly swipe at each other's shade of orange...debate who owns what logo and move on. It's more lively when they notice my Vol's IPhone case in Hooks or Bonham...but no hate...apparently the media is anxious for football too. :hmm:

 

[Vol865]

Texas' orange is ugly as hell

 

[vol-un-tear]

UT Volunteers! After 2015 we should put them on the schedule.

 

[Captain Awesome]

The University of Tennessee was founded before Texas was even a state. Game over.

I've only been down in TX for a year. Nobody really gets that upset. Any argument is solidly ended with the whole, "we were a university before you were a state thing." So its a friendly little back and forth, nothing serious. Rest assured, they'll love us if we beat OU.

You would, but then your a troll so it's not surprising.

The columnist is clearly a candy homer, he mentions Pat and leaves out the General , who is also beloved in VN. He knows nothing about Tennessee tradition , especially the one of kicking candy's ass. The past two years are an aberration, the tradition continues this fall.
