and the Seattle Seahawks by shagginbevo posters, they got their websites name yanked by the very school they support?

I'm sure that's been mentioned, just wanted to make sure their lurkers here were aware of such a cruel irony, and another of their huge narrative talking points blowing up in their faces again.

Poor, poor tsips

Yo Rocco.

"cruel irony"?

btw, wasn't it your university wizards who sold your beloved "12th Man" to the Seahawks for a pittance?

Trademarking an insult. What can be worse? Defending it!.

I know it's been said many times out here, but I'll say it again - you can't even make this stuff up. And they did it/are doing it all to themselves.

Karma.

****ting on their own alumni

Add law to the lengthy list of things little 55 knows nothing about (aren't we up to 1000 pages or so by now). We sold nothing we gave them a limited license for a finite period of tune. This enabled them to make other plans and TAMU to protect its IP against other potential infringements.

The cruel irony is we held firm against a large business entity and your tshirt girlies could not do so against little old AO's horns down and cut off law suit by the not so powerful powers and the "vaunted" sip law school.

Keep trying; your total obsession with all that is TAMU is still duly noted!

The big difference is that you guys agree with the idiocy over "The 12th Man" while Longhorns don't agree with this idiocy.

Bevo's name itself is taken from a beer.

"Sigh".. are you really gonna prance in here with this. Dude, you can do better. This is one of the weakest things you've attempted, and thats saying something.

It's not from a beer? I thought that was uncontested.

Better yet, you could elaborate on what "agrees with the idiocy" means. And how Aggies and Longhorns do or don't "agree with the idiocy". Let's hear it!

Well we're pretty consistent on defending it. Yet yall will sell it except in this case. Which just shows what a petty little ***** Steve is in this case.

Read the op. Then read my answer. Then think about it.

Clue: The op thinks there is irony or hypcrisy in this story. There isn't because the Aggies and Longhorns reacted differently to their respective school's idiotic trademark claim.

There ya go.

Now, I wonder if you can keep yourself from proving my point.

He's right. 13 - 0 beer.

Why do you think Texas chose "Bevo?"

I don't get why this is an issue.

Yes, you branded a longhorn with the score from a game (the game you won a year prior, oddly enough). We changed it to Bevo.

Where does your lore claim the word came from?

So what you are telling me is that your fans are impotent? 30+ years of attacking their own.

From the link above:
"UT's board of regents began trademarking university properties back in 1981. A list of protected trademarks appears on the university Office of Trademark Licensing Web page; alongside more specific trademarks such as Bevo and Lady Longhorns is, simply, Texas. The trademarks protect the massive revenues Texas sports merchandise generates; for the fourth year running, UT was the top-selling university brand in fiscal year 2009, according to the Collegiate Licensing Co., which oversees a majority of college teams."

oh good. i look forward to the lawsuit by one of your alums taking the Athletic Department and the school to court for the right to use the word bevo...afterall it was just the name of a beer...

FTR, Bevo was a near beer malt beverage sold during Prohibition. It went out of production in 1929.

How the first steer came to be named "Bevo" is a matter of debate. And they ate him a few years later anyway.
