I have a really good friend who is an Auburn alum. He uses UAT and I guess it just stuck in my head.

I feel like UA covers their main campus, just as UT covers Texas' main campus.  You can't say UTA because that's UT-Arlington.  There's also UTEP, UTSA, UTD, and probably some others.

I can say "UTA" all I want with no apparent repercussions.

I'm slightly amused "we" say "UGA" and "UVA" and then "UF" and UP.

For my Auburn friend, it's just a dig at Bama. Like Bama says Aubarn.

Or a aTm fan calling Texas "tu".

Immature? Sure, but it's part of the fun.

I mean, you can say it, and everyone in Texas will understand that as the Arlington campus of the University of Texas.  So if that's your intent, then knock yourself out.

If that's not your intent, then nobody will understand what you're talking about and you'll sound like an idiot.  I don't know whether or not you'd consider that to be a "repercussion."  Some people are happy to sound like an idiot.

Going back to our discussion on specificity of word definitions and language...

Maybe "we" should contrive and "official list" of officially accepted abbreviations, like say "UTA" for that Texas outfit.

I'm pretty used to sounding like an idiot, to some folks anyway.  It doesn't bother me in the least.  We could annoint say "UTX" and "UTN" for those two outfits.

Texas is the team I could most abide winning the NC this year.

Thanks, I'd love to see UTA win the CFP this year. :)

As for UTX vs. UTN, I think it's generally determinable by context, which one you're talking about.  Just like OSU, OSU, and OSU.

Context may be less clear next season.

I think any of the four could win it.  I'd probably drop UDubb's chances a bit.  I think Ohio State could win it too.
