T-shirt fan was created by the f##ktard sheep humping trash we know as aggys. They created it because no one wants to be a fan of that terrible cult infested POS university. Don't use the term it just gives the aggy trash legitimacy. All fans of the Texas Longhorns are welcome.... Gald you're here.

The reason I went to Texas is my dad was a huge fan. Not an alum. He had a football scholarship to SFA. He was good enough to make their Hall of Honor and get drafted in 1952.
He was an East Texas kid and in his era there was no pro football in Texas. The SWC was king. A HS teammate of his went to Texas and later the NFL. Dad became more and more a fan of UT and by his late 20's, he was a full blown UT 't-shirt' fan.
By the time I came around and became aware of sports, I just assumed UT was who you rooted for. For some reason, a pennant from the 1969 NC season survived and hangs in my study still today.
That's a long way of saying this Longhorn wouldn't have gone to Texas if he's 'tshirt' fan Dad hadn't made it possible. Anybody who derides fans without diplomas as lesser fans can kiss my ass.

Same with Daddy, Street. He knew every UT players' name, though he played for another school before he entered the war.
The only college games he took us to were UT games, and he could talk some serious trash to the other team.
I guess that my blood was just orange because he was a fan.
Long live fans!

Agree 100%! I'm not an alum, but have been a fan since I was about 6
FWIW
How can you tell you're in aggyland?
If you are driving and have to pull over to take a leak, all the sheep back up to the fence.

I've been both a t-shirt fan and an alum. Never apologized for a minute about being a fan without attending.
Dropped out oh HS and joined the AF in Jan 1958. My best friend for HS always knew he wanted to go to Texas and get a law dgree (which he did). We were classmates at Lubbock HS.
Because of him and because everyone in the AF who wasn't from Texas would always pull for any team playing a college from Texas I became a UT fan, and the UT-OU game in '58 sealed the deal.
I stayed in the AF for 7 1/2 years and when I got out I moved to Dallas to work in electronics (I had been a radar technician on B-52s).
In January 1968 I started to night school at UTA and finished up two years there. I had good grades and a nice SAT score so I was able to get into UT (the real one).
My chief regret is that I got my degree too quickly. I entered UT with 41 hours of credit in January 1970 and graduated in August 1971 with a degree in Finance (Honors).
My course load by semester:
Spring '70 - 15 hours
Summer '70 - 12 hours
Fall '70 - 18 hours and placed out of an English class
Spring '71' - 18 hours
Summer '71 - 15 hours
Loved every freaking minute of it. Went to all of the football, basketball and most of the baseball games.
