wearing Romney/Ryan buttons? The camera just panned to them after they got gashed for a 40-yard run by UF, and they're already down by 14 midway through the 4th. Looked like they were going to cry. I see more crying in their future.

than any I've seen.
They looked like this but were orange, so there must be some UT tie-in or they were custom-made.

Next time you happen to be in TX you might want to take in San Antonio. A little place called the Alamo. There you'd see where TN gained the name Volunteers. Additionally, the REAL UT was founded in 1794.

The University of Tennessee (also referred to as the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, UT Knoxville or UT or UTK) is a public sun-grant and land-grant university headquartered at Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. Founded in 1794, it is the flagship institution of the statewide University of Tennessee system with nine undergraduate colleges and eleven graduate colleges and hosts almost 28,000 students from all 50 states and more than 100 foreign countries. In its 2012 ranking of universities, U.S. News & World Report ranked UT 101st among all national universities and 46th among public institutions of higher learning. Its ties to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, established under UT President Andrew Holt and continued under the UT-Battelle partnership, allow for considerable research opportunities for faculty and students.
Also affiliated with the University are the Howard H. Baker, Jr. Center for Public Policy, the University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility, and the University of Tennessee Arboretum, which occupies 250 acres (1.0 km2) of nearby Oak Ridge and features hundreds of species of plants indigenous to the region. The University is a direct partner of the University of Tennessee Medical Center, it is one of two Level I trauma centers in the East Tennessee region. As a teaching hospital, it has aggressive medical research programs.
The University of Tennessee is the only university in the nation to have three presidential papers editing projects and holds collections of the papers of all three U.S. presidents from TennesseeAndrew Jackson, James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson.

UT Medical Center is top notch, too. They saved my mother's life, when specialists and one of the 'supposedly' best heart surgeons in the country in Atlanta were left puzzled and scratching their collective heads. They're also the reason I'm still able to walk today. I'll be there next week for my yearly MRI/check-up on my neck.
"the lesser"?? No, I don't think so!
