I know you Texicans have alot of pride in your state, but please check the facts... there is only one UT, and it is located in Knoxville. I don't care how big your state or your ego is, the University of Tennessee was founded in 1794, a full 89 years before the Universoty of Texas (founded in 1883). Texas wasn't even a state when UT was founded... and I believe some famous Tennesseans contributed to the founding of Texas as a state in the first place (hell, why else is Tenessee called the "Volunteer State"?).
Bigger isn't always better (something SD should be familiar with), otherwise Alaska would own your Texas ass with more than 4 times the land mass... not to mention they have better gun laws, bigger mountains, larger game animals, better fishing, more sunight in summer, more night in winter, better open container laws, and don't have to put up with a border with Mexico... we won't even talk about the seafood...
