I'm not an expert on the rules of etiquette but I feel like a pretty good rule of thumb is "do not bring a thousand-dollar sex mannequin to Wal-Mart and drive around on a motorized scooter posing for photos with children."


Care to elaborate on how you know what one of those things costs?
I knew they were very expensive but I didn't want to google it at work so I guessed. Turns out I was way off. Just googled on my phone and it turns out that one of those things costs more like $6,500.
You can get them at Walmart for $4750.

It just struck me: that dude's creepy giant sex Barbie could very well be the most expensive thing he owns

I wonder how it feels to invest so much of your time and energy into something you feel is great, only to send it to your target audience and have them say, "Not this f'in guy again!" while deleting your masterpiece.

Seriously, he is dedicating his life to putting together this masterpiece and not one single person takes it seriously or gives a shat about it.

So Chip Brown is working up a serious pwnage story about Texas A&M perpetuating what he and Randy call an Aggie myth and it will be full of lurid details of Aggies strong-arming three NFL teams and judicial parties? Those guys are drunk off eating each other's jizz. Good Lord.

Meh, considering Chip's dust up with Chancellor Sharp, he might see this as another salvo lobbed at Sharp.

And he may very well be that stupid to run with "our esteemed colleague's" compendious research. If he does, he'll lose whatever credibility he has left.

Chip Brown's article that brought about the rebuke from Sharp was done BEFORE any FOIA or other research was done. Chip admitted as much in his defensive tweets after.

So I would fully expect Chip to use Dan Satterfield's "work" without doing his own in a heartbeat.

And the certain beat down that will follow will be glorious.

Yeah but even they did the facts shoot down any of his argument before they even start.

I'm not gonna rehash this convo here, because it's too damn involved, but the facts available don't confirm all of his positions, nor do they invalidate all of them.

In regards to A&M's claim that first use occurred in 1922, hes correct. First use didn't happen until much later, although that alone doesn't invalidate the trademark.

In regards to his claims that the E. King Gill story is fabricated - that there were more players available to play - there isn't enough evidence available to prove it. There's just a bunch of conflicting pieces of information, and he cherry picked the articles that support him.

And the main takeaway from this entire ordeal is: No one ****ing cares

I think I may have a theory on why he's so hung up on the 12th Man deal.

The Aggie that was ****ing his wife gave Charles's son a 12th Man jersey which is what led to Charles's own flesh and blood becoming a Texas Aggie fan.

I can't imagine the pain and torture that causes him. Is he even sure it's his son, and not the Aggie's? That must really cause him some long sleepless nights.

How awful.

I feel bad for him.








Just ****ing kidding. It makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

I posted this link about page 7. In it you will find an undated interview with coach D. X. Bible himself confirming the exact story of Dr Gill coming down from the stands.

Case is settled.

http://www.theeagle.com/news/a_m/texas-a-m-colts-reach-settlement-over-use-of-th/article_28c71228-d5c8-11e5-82d3-7b08801b2cc2.html

So now let's see if Randolph goes through with all of the threats that he promised he would do.... Of course we all know he won't. This guy is all talk and zero action.

What's can he do? Hell, even his long-winded article on HornSports had to be taken down because of the erroneous info.

Are you saying '39 for the first time the 12th man name being used at A&M or that's the earliest you've seen the 12th man tradition being associated with Gill?

Someone post a link to one of the threads where we had newspaper articles and such referencing us as the 12th man. I should have bookmarked them.

Dude I agree with you. All I was saying is that even if people did care about this, he has no evidence whatsoever. People would act as we do, read about three sentences in and fall asleep.

Aggie Band Spells 12th Man

As the spirit of the 12th Man is embraced by the Texas A&M student body, references to the tradition begin appearing around campus, including this formation by the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band.


http://12thman.tamu.edu/

I contend the phrase had been used by A&M since 1922 or before. The evidence is out there. There was a newspaper clipping from 1921 that mentions A&M and the twelfth man.

Bet Randy was MAD AS HELL when he couldn't comment on that article. Probably fired off a letter or two to the editor though.

I vaguely remeber this, but I think I always go back to 1939 due to the trademark being filed with a first use date of 1922, thus tying it directly to Gill.

If you ever feel like getting really deep into this, go explore different articles about the '22 Dixie Classic and try to figure out who travelled to the game,bwhich players were injured and which quarter they were injured in. It's nuts how much disparity there was in sports reporting between papers back then. (Also, if anyone does dive into this rabbit hole, you need to keep in mind that players removed from the field during a quarter in 1922 were required to stay off the field until the following quarter.)

I'm reading the new book on ty Cobb and the author mentions that sports writer during this era basically lied and made things up to sell papers.
