Aguilar4heisman said:UT is not UTK.It’s not my money but the ROI could be there. We land Leavitt and we are the talk of college football for a while. Recently, we’ve been the talk of college football for a bad reason. This super sought after QB1 does a lot for the university of Tennessee, and is a further example of how serious the donors/university is to win. Even if we don’t get him. I’m impressed by the effort, but man that would be a hell of a statement if we flip him.

ProvidenceVol said:Not sure why that bothers some people. I graduated from UT and it was pretty common to say “UTK”, especially being from Chattanooga where “UTC” was so common to say. As was mentioned, it was UTK.EDU on my email. Does it somehow lessen the quality of the school to say UTK? Is this somehow a Texas thing about being the “real UT”?UT is not UTK.

TN24 said:Lol brotha. If it was up to me we’d be UT. But you’re preaching to the wrong choir. Every students email at Tennessee ends with @utk.edu . Sorry if that bothers you but our own university refers to us as utk🤣Yeah @Aguilar4heisman, update your header please. This is UT and nobody gives a crap what an internal email looks like.
