Yup. Because UT kicked Penn's ass this weekend during the NCAA tournament, and UTD's team seldom does anything. Also, the UT system is a public system like the Cal system -- lots of schools, lots of cities, and not like the University of Pennsylvania, the deceptively named private university. (I apologize for being a pain in the ass.)

I'm supposed to know there's a difference between the University of Texas and the University of Texas at Dallas? Bah!

Not to get too technical, Jim, but as a Texan I feel I should tell you that the University of Texas is what we call the main campus in Austin. The Nanotech Institute is at UTD -- that is to say, the University of Texas at Dallas. Okay, I think I'm through with being obnoxious for the day. :)
