the guy i really feel sorry for in all this is randy's roommate. i'm sure randy is stomping and pouting around their ****ty apartment even more than usual tonight
quote:Someone tell him that there are records that show that the original 12th Man was actually Rudy, who only became a part of Notre Dame lore as a graduate transfer from A&M. He and Gill were roommates, who stole Bevo and branded the 13-0 all the while cackling about A&M being created first and being independent of Sip.
Yeah. Randy's basic angle is: If the story didn't happen exactly the way it is in the story, Aggies are all lying frauds.
It's college, man. All stories tend to add a bit of folklore as the years go on. Who gives a ****?

Get your popcorn. This one is going to be good. I am confident my research will be fully vetted by legal and the writer will be honest. I also believe the writer will speak from a high enough platform that the story can't be ignored.
I am convinced Texas A&M fraudulently obtained their trademark for the phrase "12th Man" and they have filed a materially fraudulent pleading before a federal court.
I believe all hell is about to break loose. And, although I may be wrong, I believe wheels are in motion that TAMU can't stop. I believe the **** is about to hit the fan. And, if it doesn't, I believe the follow-up to the story will answer any questions the university tries to throw out as a defense.
I am pretty sure this is a story of corruption by public employees that is about to blow up. Like I said, grab your popcorn.

What is about to come out in the next few days could, but the question is whether the Seahawks feel it is worth their while to chase the ****s over $150k (trebled potentially). The Seahawk settlement seems to be small in the grand scheme of things.
What seems to be material is if the school is recognized to have fraudulently obtained the trademark (even without litigation), they should be obligated to disgorge the almost three decades of trademark licensing revenue they have garnered from the fraudulent trademark. This, at a time their debt service on the stadium is about to go to $22 million.
Also, John Sharp and the rest of their BOR are going to be called to account for the fraud. Someone approved the litigation against the Colts. That person has to go. The school has to make amends with Chuckie Sonntag and the others they bullied over the trademark.
This rightfully should be very ugly for TAMU.

Has RD posted since the settlement was announced? Or was that the final straw? Should we call in a wellness check for him?

My bet is that the Colts presented their plan to dispute the legitimacy of the copyright, loaded with a mountain of evidence provided them by one Randal Duke, Esq. Ag decided to "settle" to prevent disclosure of said evidence.
quote:
Most people do whatever they can to avoid a lawsuit, but there are people who go out of their way to appear before a judge -- over and over and over again.
People who file numerous lawsuits, known as serial litigants, are often motivated by the hopes of winning lots of money or obtaining justice. And according to forensic psychiatrists, in some cases they're also motivated by deep psychological reasons -- paranoia, the need for attention or a belief that only in court will their perceived suffering be validated.
It's become widespread enough that some states are removing serial litigants from the legal system altogether, banning them from filing future suits.
"Serial litigants are ubiquitous," said Dr. Mark Levy, a forensic psychiatrist and professor at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine. "Everybody has a right to his day in court, but some people are there for psychological rather than judicial reasons."
Frequent plaintiffs can in some cases sue hundreds of companies and individuals or spend years in court, suing increasing numbers of people related to one or many perceived injustices, Levy said.
"They are usually looking to have what they regard as suffering witnessed on the stage of the court. It is a theatrical enactment," he said. "The remedy in a civil case is typically money, but for these individuals it isn't about the money or justice. It is about having their suffering validated. They want acknowledgment of what they perceive as lifelong suffering."
quote:
Little research has been done into the psychology of serial litigants, but an Australian study printed in Behavioral Sciences and the Law found that many vexatious litigants displayed symptoms consistent with "querulous paranoia."
quote:
In psychiatry, the terms querulous paranoia (Kraepelin, 1904)[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Querulant#cite_note-2][[/url]and litigious paranoia have been used to describe a paranoid condition which manifested itself in querulant behavior. The terms had, until 2004, disappeared from the psychiatric literature; largely because they were misused to stigmatise the behavior of people seeking the resolution of valid grievances. It also appears in ICD-10, under its Latin name Paranoia querulans, in section F22.8, "Other persistent delusional disorders".
quote:
Paranoia is a thought process believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion.Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory, or beliefs of conspiracy concerning a perceived threat towards oneself (e.g. "Everyone is out to get me"). Paranoia is distinct from phobias, which also involve irrational fear, but usually no blame. Making false accusations and the general distrust of others also frequently accompany paranoia. For example, an incident most people would view as an accident or coincidence, a paranoid person might believe was intentional.

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.

King Gill, Rick Perry, Reveille, John Sharp etc. The cops will find a RD drawing his last breath, muttering: It goes all the way to the top.

If there had been a financial settlement, the university would have broadcast it far and wide as a validation of their trademark and a message to other possible infringers.
If the university administrators had an ounce of integrity, they would release the terms of the agreement immediately. What are they hiding?
