If it weren't for the Tennessee Volunteers then Texas would be a part of Mexico

This is true, but it was growing up in Tennessee that was the incentive for them to risk their lives in Texas

Isn't that basically the American story as a whole?

I finally get to vote haha. Couldn't vote the last few times.

It's not letting me vote, do you have to have a certain amount of posts to vote?

Probably. There is a certain post count before some privileges are unlocked.

The threshold used to be 25, but that was a while ago. May have changed by now.

Indeed. And we are grateful for your service.

 

[WhiteMamba]

I only voted because I like Tennessee and dislike Jexas so....

Texas has more weeks ranked #1
Texas has more bowl games
Texas has more bowl wins

Texas has 4 consensus national titles, Tennessee has 2 consensus national titles.
However, both teams are tied for listed titles (Tenn claims a few weak non-consensus titles nobody else does)
Both teams are tied for draft picks
Both teams are tied for NFL draft picks

Tennessee does not win a single major category.

..............

But, texas is hated more on these boards, so of course the Horns trail in the polls.

Garnered all that "glory" playing against weaker competition in the SWC and B12-2...
The most storied football program. On the strength of Neyland alone, it's Tennessee.
Yes, this is a homer post from a Tennessee alum. So...?

Big 12 East was the best division in football for awhile. Tenn heyday came when the SEC was down. They played Vandy, UK, and South Carolina in division. Those were horrible programs.

Balderdash. Embrace Tennessee as your beloved cousins, or hang your long horns in shame. 'T' for Texas, 'T' for Tennessee.

Davey Crockett commands your respect and fidelity. The effectiveness of he and his US volunteers was noted and appreciated by Alamo Commander, William Barret Travis, who continued to provide them precious powder and shot even as supplies dwindled during the siege.

Just realized I said Big 12 east. No idea where that came from, should have been South

Knowing you affinity for Texas and being of generous spirit, Volunteer fans were willing to let this pass, but, you've now made it front and center.

My neighbor is a huge Tennessee fan.....in more ways than one. He's about 6'2" and has to be pushing 350 lbs. He always wears his Volunteers football jersey on game days. I've asked him countless times how a school with all the tradition that Tennessee has, all those fans, that beautiful stadium and the beautiful women like his wife can't seem to win big time championships on a consistent basis. He mumbles something about being National Champions in 1998. Now he does the same thing to me and I just mumble something about being National Champions in 2000.

 

[Texas Jefe]

It's a cruel, cruel world when you get Texas and Tennessee matched up against each other. Just brutal.
