Tennessee head football coach Josh Heupel told reporters at SEC media days regarding Texas joining the conference that "there's only one real UT" in the league.
Per Dan Morrison of On3, he then smiled and added: "Only one right shade of orange."
It's easy to see why Heupel feels that way.
He was the starting quarterback at Texas' arch rival, Oklahoma, in 1999 and 2000. Heupel went 1-1 against Texas, but the Sooners notably beat the Longhorns 63-14 in 2000 en route to an undefeated season and national championship.
Texas and Oklahoma are joining the conference in 2024.
