Quote:But over the years, it seems the university has always strived to be part of greater things, and one of the strangest incidents in its 100-year history took place back in 1951, when Memphis State College — as it was called at the time — almost became the University of Tennessee. "MSC" would have changed to "UTAM" — which just sounds odd to me.

yeah, if that would have happened we might still be playing in the liberty bowl and the state woulda treated us like a stepchild.... oh wait, nevermind.
