Josh Heupel shades Texas saying “there’s only one real UT”

Who is the real UT?

While Tennessee and Texas haven’t faced off on the gridiron since the Richard Nixon administration, there appears to be quite the rivalry brewing between the two.

With Texas joining the SEC next season, there have been many debates about who the real UT is. Something Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel addressed at SEC media days with a statement that won’t bode well with Texas fans.

“There’s only one real UT,” Heupel said. “One right shade of orange.”

Thanks to how social media works in this era of creating so-called “beefs” there was already destined to be a rivalry between the two programs, but now that Heupel has made this claim, the storyline will live in infamy. However, we will have to wait at least a couple seasons to see the two teams face off barring the chance they both make it to the SEC Championship, as they are not scheduled to play in 2024.

A missed opportunity by the SEC, but a game that will only generate hype for itself as time goes on.
