Nice find Kaizer. That's awesome.

quote:


"W. C. (Heinie) Weir
W.C. (Heinie) Weir '45 was Schreiner Institute’s head football coach and athletic director from 1937 until 1945. After that he served in a variety of other roles at Schreiner, retiring as academic dean in 1971.

Weir served as captain of the Texas A&M football team in his senior year there, wrote Sam M. Junkin '51, former Schreiner president in his nomination. “When his leg was broken in a game, the A&M coach told the student body to be ready, that someone might be called from the stands during the game. Hence was born the 12th man tradition,” wrote Junkin. He went on the say, “In many ways, Coach Weir was a stern man, one who did not rest easy with what he considered ‘nonsense.’ But, he was respected and he served Schreiner admirably.” "

An interesting article about the Seahawks, Aggies, and 12th Man dispute.

Sorry 'Hawks, 12th Man is taken...I’m not an Aggie. Never have been an Aggie, but I have a daughter-in-law who’s an Aggie alumna, complete with bonfire on the wall in a San Antonio den. And there’s no such thing as an Aggie ex, barf, barf...When it comes to Aggie stuff, these folks aren’t reasonable. In fact, they’re crazy. It’s the kind of crazy that comes from the heart, granted....Well, I’ll tell you what, whippersnapper. The Seattle Seahawks’ 12th man — that perhaps being you — and all those crazy folks up in the Northwest — are knockoffs. Cheap, imitation knockoffs. Nothing personal, I’m just sayin’; Says so right there in the agreement made between the school and the professional team back in 1990.

That article made my brain hurt. Wrong about the settlement and taking information from a Wikipedia page - the same page that Randolph Duke has been fighting to change day and night for nearly two years.

Charles does not care at all about the trademark


quote:
I think effectively they no longer have the trademark.

quote:
They will never defend their trademark against anyone wanting to challenge it in court.

quote:
As for the trademark, I seriously doubt they ever get more than nuisance value for it moving forward.

quote:
They get to be considered a nuisance by an ever growing group of organizations and individuals or they have to litigate and probably lose the trademark and have the fact they filed a false and misleading declaration when they applied for it. I would love to read the transcript of their response to the false filing and how it conforms to their honor code. The attys will have a field day if they ever get an **** representative under oath.

quote:
I'm glad the reporter is evidently going to bring up the question of the validity of their trademark. Since this is an election year, hopefully we can get a reporter to ask Greg Abbott what the position of the State is on **** having to re-file its trademark papers with corrected information. If it gets pushed to that point, I will be pleased.

quote:
So even Baylor had a "twelfth man" in the 1920s. Maybe **** will share their trademark revenue with Baylor. This just keeps getting better and better. Lol!

quote:
I would also LOVE to see a reporter ask a TAMU official about those trademark filings. (Walter Camp finished re-writing the football rulebook 1892, which brought the teams on the field from 15 to 11 players, so any use of the term "12th Man" would have happened after 1892 and the instance from 1900 is probably as early as we will find)



Why the change of heart Charles? Find out it was a losing cause?

One lightly circulated article that immediately required a correction is all you got out of all you research. I suggest you frame it, friend. You can use it to cover one of the holes in your wall.

Yeah, this was always about trademark.

I just like that he casually glossed over all of the other trademark filings for all of the classes relating to commercial items that don't use 1922 as a marker.

The funniest thing was seeing him prop up his argument with a 1921 Battalion. He won I guess. We shouldn't have filed in 1922. We should have filed for 1921.

It's kinda like this birthday post. Everyone knows he's wrong, or trying to modify a definition, then it all blows up into some explanatory diatribe about his perception on the issue, and the thread goes away.

$10.00 says he called UT to try and get them to throw a party.

I think he was perma'd and had enough but I'm not positive. Does your account on SECrant have access to the A&M board?

This. And texags gets mentioned all the time on other sites, and I've never seen the post edited out.

Other sports websites exist other then this one. Shocking. I know. Lighten up, staph. You have much bigger fish to fry.

For the record, the Texas A&M Sports Board hosted by SECRant.com is NOT in competition with TexAgs.com in any way, shape or form.

No reason why folks can't post on both. We're all Aggies here.

C'mon guys. It's not like it's the numbers pay board that said that here. It's like deleting a link to CFB reddit.

Besides, now this looks bad and draws more attention.

The best joke here would be if you deleted this post. I can say in all honesty that I would laugh.

We've already been down that road Geop84. Sips only care about our trademarks. They don't give two ****s about their own.

Honestly, I think it's time we took Hook'Em back.

HOOK 'EM AGGIES!

Yeah...no...I don't see that sticking.
