    I like Tennessee in general and am looking forward to watching Texas play against them in the SEC.  I rarely (never?) interact with Tennessee fans in real life and I don't frequent any internet forums where I'd find them, so don't expect any hostile interactions.

    This answer in that reddit thread was pretty funny though:

     

    also:

     

    Short answer: yes

    Long answer: They are one of the largest brands, fanbases, and wallets in all of college sports. This brand has largely been focused around college football. They have been perpetual underperformers for the past couple of decades and have had basically 3 good seasons to show for it. This has turned them bitter and relying on their traditions to show that they're a great team but are always saying "wait until next year." Next year never comes and they always fall short of expectations. They have been slaughtered by their biggest rival in recent history and their biggest rivals consider them a secondary rival. They have had good seasons but never enough to take the next step. Maybe I just described A&M, maybe they're the same school.

    No shit Texas is like the 2nd or 3rd most populous state in the country.  There are a lot more white oriole, black people, Asian folk, queer folk, old dudes, kids, dogs, and on and on than in Tennessee.

    I don’t give a fuck about any team but Texas. Hate some, really hate a few. Don’t care about the rest. 

    Hey, if it weren't for Tennesseans, y'all would be speaking Spanish and illegally crossing the border into the US at the Red River.

    I’ve never had conference allegiance and never will.

    When you live in Texas, you’re exposed to fan bases that are close to you because it’s such a large state with large population. It’s completely different than all of those tiny moonshine guzzling butt fuck cities in Tennessee. 
     

    It doesn’t make sense to compare Nashville to anywhere in Texas.

    I am excited about competing against others with lower educational standards. I do believe Texas has a lot of T-shirt fans. The SEC has a ton of T-shirt fans with more passion that can’t spell ‘college.’

    Having lived in Austin and Nashville, I can tell you they are very similar.  

    And there are FAR more rednecks in Texas than in Tennessee.

  4. ...will you start following, hating, making fun of, SEC teams more than BIG12 teams?  For instance, will you be more interested in the success or failure of Auburn, Arky, Miss St, and Vandy  than Baylor, TCU, Tech and UH?

    Or will proximity bias still tie you to regional teams rather than conference teams?

    I live in Nashville so the Texas teams don't mean shit to me other than how they affect the success of TEXAS athletics and now they don't so I don't give a shit at all.

    Thoughts?

    I have it on good authority you get the same treatment for stage 3 colon as well.

    And the docs take one look at colon cancer in a scope before surgery and go, "yup, that's probably cancer."  So probably not colorectal.

    Yeah, I kinda thought of that after I posted.  You're probably right.

    Yeah....one of the advantages of being the crown prince.  Harry could indulge in the dirty.  Remember his time with Chelsy Davy, of Zimbabwe?

    Prince-Harry-and-Chelsy-Davy-s-Relations

    Harry remembers.  He had that grin on his face their entire relationship.  And I doubt that it was solely because Chelsy was fun to play Scrabble with.

    She sure is a light colored black woman.  I hear he likes that.
