As for UTX vs. UTN, I think it's generally determinable by context, which one you're talking about. Just like OSU, OSU, and OSU.

Right. Like, for example, if someone says UT beat Alabama, everybody knows you're not talking about Tennessee

We get called LSWho? a lot.

Always struck me as a bit unoriginal and needlessly generic. You could insert Who? for almost every university, many of which have a "U" in their initials. That's the biggest sign of disrespect, when people won't even take the trouble to come up with a decent insult for you.

Like corndogs. A) That's a Colorado jab hurled at Nebraska (Cornhuskers....makes much more sense) that was lazily co-opted by an Auburn fan one day and directed at us. B) Corndogs are delicious, so it's not much of an insult.

People ask me why I hate Auburn so much. That's one of many reasons.

I have a really good friend who is an Auburn alum. He uses UAT and I guess it just stuck in my head.

i was wondering, cause it's a dig they use. but some people use it genuinely not knowing. i didn't know which you were.

not sure why it's a dig for them. they have their own system with satellite locations in the name, but not the main university.

interestingly, i looked up texas (since i knew they had some like utep and utsa) and wisconsin (because i figured y'all did as well), but both of you list the main school as locations. i.e. university of texas at austin and university of wisconsin-madison.

carry on, i guess.

There used to a place in a now closed mall in Cincy that had good corndogs. They had them with onion and jalopenoes in the batter if you wanted. No ketchup of course.

I may get some at Kroger.

you guys are corndogs because you always smell like greasy food, cause y'all are always cooking the best damn greasy food at tailgates.

I've always used oSu for the Pokes

I'm talking about more when used in speech rather than typed. But either way, unless you're directly comparing or contrasting two of them in a specific conversation, I don't think the distinctions are all that necessary. There's not generally a lot of overlap in context for them.

When you say "OSU has lost its last three to hated archrival Michigan" nobody is going to think you're talking about Oklahoma State.

I mean, you can say it, and everyone in Texas will understand that as the Arlington campus of the University of Texas. So if that's your intent, then knock yourself out.

If that's not your intent, then nobody will understand what you're talking about and you'll sound like an idiot. I don't know whether or not you'd consider that to be a "repercussion." Some people are happy to sound like an idiot.

Going back to our discussion on specificity of word definitions and language...

if someone is agitated mission is accomplished

You could probably look up "University of Texas system" and that would return all of the satellite campuses.

No outcomes would surprise me, I think all 4 teams have pathways to beating all of the other three. So this is my initial hunch, won't be surprised if it's wrong.

Bama over Mich
Texas over UDubb

Texas over Bama

Kinda like everybody yammering about how Oregon is really the best team even though they didn't win, and how they're gonna whip the Huskies in the rematch.....I am hearing a lot about how great Alabama is and how they'd definitely beat Texas now.

All depends on which Bama team shows up. The other three have been relatively consistent, particularly of late. If Alabama circa the SECCG shows up, they can defeat any of the other three. If Bama circa the Iron Bowl shows up, they're going to lose to Michigan in the first round for sure.

my lean also

I can say "UTA" all I want with no apparent repercussions.

I'm slightly amused "we" say "UGA" and "UVA" and then "UF" and UP.

I'm not sure who the UP is that you're referring to.

There is no University of Purdue. There is a Purdue University. So we use PU.
