UT?

[charlie990]

I've since moved to the west coast and I was wondering how do you say where you went to school? Obviously, in Texas everyone would know what you are talking about when you say "UT" but I usually get blank stares now.

• Texas? I feel like this is the best option but I almost feel like you gotta know ball
• UT Austin? This sounds like a community college
• University of Texas? Too long

Establish dominance and say UT!

Lol jokes aside I usually say UT Austin to those outside of Texas. I actually met someone who told me he went to UT only to find out later he was talking about University of Toronto😂

In my day we just said "The University" and everyone in Texas just knew.

Just say UT. If you get a blank stare, punch them in the throat for not knowing Texas.

This is what I tell my Aggie friends when they refer to us as TU

It's just Texas imo.

Texas, I'm a Longhorn, or throw up a Hook'em.

Agree, I say Texas. If those west coasters don’t know that’s on them. We are Texas and damn proud of it!!

I lived in Nashville and I still always said UT. Sometimes I said the real UT if I thought they needed clarification.

[Jbro52]

I’ve always said Texas or UT

I'm also on west coast now and usually go w/ Texas, but sometimes UT as well and they can sort it...
That said because between my car and my wardrobe, etc., there usually isn't much question...

If it is an Aggie just say the real Flagship school of Texas.

Only people around Tennessee refer to Tennessee as UT. Everyone on the West Coast will know exactly which school you are referring to.
