Tennessee-Martin is the 3rd best institution (of 4) in the “Tennessee Hyphen” system, behind Tennessee-Williams and Tennessee-Ernie Ford. They remain just ahead of Tennessee-Waterfall.
UT-Martin’s nickname is the Skyhawks which sounds kind of awesome until you see that their mascot has to wear corrective lenses. Neeeeeerd!
UT-Martin, as you’d expect is in fact in a town called “Martin” Tennessee (population 10,500). I did a brief survey of the town using Google Maps and PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS, MARTIN, TN...
Tennessee-Martin’s school colors are blue and orange. Are you blind?! Those colors don’t go together AT ALL.
