Sorry, my friend Gaidan, but I think hopefalj called this one correctly. Having grown up in the SEC, I and everyone I know think Texas when we hear "UT." Tennessee is just "Tennessee." (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
"USC" is only on the west coast. USCe is acceptable and becoming more recognized for the Gamecocks.

Now I feel compelled to back Gaidan up. It took me a minute to think of Texas, as I automatically associate UT with Tennessee (I've lived in neighboring states, but never TN itself). Also, Roll Tide

Well, you are wrong about one thing. Having spent a portion of my existence in Texas, you will not find any Aggies referring to Texas as UT. Rather, in demonstrating the full extent of their inferiority complex, they refer to Texas as t.u., refusing to even capitalize the initials. You had me until "inferiority complex ..." Other than that, you're spot on, t.u. it is.

Bulldog with a handle like that I figured you for a UGA fan. Sandi I can't help it if your education in this regard is lacking. You probably grew up a Vandy fan. Those folks put on airs. People that think of Texas when someone says UT are the sort of people that imagine Nick Satan might leave the Yellow Hammer state for Texas or Michigan because it would be a "better" job. They are clearly delusional.

Nope - just a devotee of actual bulldogs like moopigsdad. I loved Alabama even in the dark days of Dubose and Shula when we regularly lost to UT And I agree Saban isn't going anywhere.

EDIT: And you're right--Nick Satan is not going anywhere. He's simply the best coach in college football, and Bama is not letting him go.

Sorry, everyone -- I've been slacking off. [Must learn to prioritize the City of the Day over other obligations]
Fayetteville = 9 ODAR Judges Greenville = 9 ODAR Judges Knoxville = 12 ODAR Judges Middlesboro = 4 ODAR Judges (FunkyODAR being the newest and most famous) Paducah = 4 ODAR Judges

Well if I had known you were a Bayou Bengal I wouldn't have mentioned education. I have big love for LSU and its fans actually. They have particularly good tail gates.

The board seems very international today with both German and Spanish spam. Not sure it is appropriate for Paducah. Better for Pennsylvania and San Probably.
