Why does Lonax keep saying "most people believe" in that interview? he should be saying "one crazy person believes".

Lomax isn't even stating the official version of the story but making it sound like he is. He's quoting the version that Duke has twisted to fit his agenda.

Most people named Randolph Duke, maybe.

On Thanksgiving day in 1916, Seven Pinckney, a 1911 UT Law graduate presented a longhorn steer to the alumni at halftime of the UT/**** game and christened him "Bevo." Whether Pinckney originated the name or not is unknown. In reality, we have no idea how Bevo got his name. The Daily Texan from the following Friday is missing from the UT archives and remains one of the more sought after missing pieces of UT history. We do have the December 1916 issue of The Alcalde. Pig Bellmont was killed in an auto accident in 1923. In 1931, Bevo II became the first UT mascot named "Bevo."

is the 4th or 5th best radio station in Houston better, equal or worse than a blog post? I am trying to gauge what my reaction should be.

No idea. I'm not even a Houstonian - I just searched for the link for MASAXET at the top of the page.

Just finished listening to the Dallas Matters radio interview. Texas Observer reporter John Loma Linda managed to get several things wrong and make a number of inaccurate statements.

Almost seemed as if he was purposely getting the facts wrong.

Is this a different interview than the link above?

Did that guy just say we paid the Bills $25K to stop using the phrase??

[edit]:start listening to these two clowns starting around the 8:05 mark. The TM author talks about the how the Seahawks paid us then they both go on about how WE are paying off others to keep it out of court. Am I hearing this right?

[edit #2]and then at the end, the TM author says we worded the application "craftily" by saying we've been using it "as early as 1922" and then the host says basically "oh, instead of saying 'we've been using this starting in 1922'". These two are bigger idiots than Randy.

So when the blog post by a shag poster fails Randal seeks validation via Houston npr? Am I following this correctly?

Yeah. No excuse other than end of a long, crappy work week.

So, evidently this is the source that says that A&M paid the Bills $25K to settle the suit. Oh wait, you say they were a party to the lawsuit who might have just a tad bit of bias?

I'd bet anything the "source" is Charles Shatterfield "the Turd".....

Ah, the "mean ol' Aggies suing the guy in the wheelchair" story. Didn't that pretty much get obliterated by the truth fairly quickly?

Randy you got us. Dang, you won. No need to post at all anymore ever again now.

I have started working on the research for this year's Memorial Day **** tribute. I find it amusing that such a highly esteemed military academy, whose focus is on teaching engineering, produces so many graduates who don't know a $#@!ing thing related to the military or about engineering. So, this year, we will discuss Trench Warfare of WWI.

For the uninitiated, last year an **** came up with the claim that his grandfather was the author of their school song where they obsess about "sawing varsity's horns off." As with any story related to **** that talks of their greatness and their glory, the ****s utterly failed to question whether any of the story was actually true. Just before Memorial Day last year, I penned a piece that raised just a few questions (which, in typical **** fashion, the ****s have left unanswered).

Noted **** professor and historian Henry Dethloff explains the origins of the song on page 60 of his history of the school:

So, we know from Professor Dethloff that the **** school song was written by a Marine slacking off on guard duty after hostilities ended following WWI. I am not sure what the punishment would be today for a Marine assigned to guard duty in occupied territory slacking off and writing songs, but for ****s, evidently it's a terdition.

The ags have a version of events far removed from Professor Dethloff's version which includes storming of hills, flying bullets, bombs bursting in air and ****s being the only people fighting to save their country. In the new version, in the final days of the war, with the enemy in full retreat and the Americans (all ****s, of course) pushed to their limits trying to keep up with the retreating Germans, the ****s stopped to build defensive fortifications in a driving rain storm. It was in one of these waterlogged trenches, by a Marine seeking shelter from retreating Germans, that the ags claim their school song was written.

For Memorial Day, we will examine the facts a little closer and discuss the basics of trenches in WWI.

This won't end well for him. Everyone rolled their eyes at the "fraudulent" trademark accusations, attacking these new fronts will secure an entirely different response.

God speed, Randy.

Does he think combat rages 24/7/365 during war?

Writing a song on guard duty is the last thing I would be worried about one of my troops doing. If they are writing a song, at least they are awake.

****tard is writing like a spoiled little ***** who has never had to stand a post on a ****ty night.

HE'S going to explain trench warfare?

Get my ****ing popcorn. This will be fun.

This guy is really a piece of ****. He has zero room to question what anyone has ever done while standing a watch. I stood watches for four years during peacetime. This piece of **** is questioning what someone did while standing watch during war?!?! **** you Randolph Duke. At first it was funny, then it got a little worrisome, now I'm afraid we're going to hear the words "active shooter" involved with your name and my university some day. Do yourself and the rest of us a favor. Kill yourself. You bring absolutely nothing to the world and you're consuming our natural resources. Save them for a contributing member of society.

I'd like to see what 1944Ag has to say about this.

This. When he spouts off his delusional diatribes about the 12th Man or other traditions, it is annoying and sad, but relatively harmless. When he discounts or disparages the acts of those who fought and died in the service of our country, Aggie or otherwise, he deserves to be punched in the face and beaten mercilessly. That sniveling little coward worm would piss his pants at the thought of combat, yet has the audacity to question anyone who has ever worn a uniform?

This ought to kick the, 'let's find this jackass' crowd into high gear. I am just going to sit here with my bucket of popcorn.

The posters of Shag continue to feed the troll and applaud his efforts.

Maybe he should spend this much time trying to figure out who murdered a 20 year old UT student and left her body in a creek next to DKR.

Or you could off yourself? I vote for the latter.

Yeah, JR, it was a pretty good joke, too. Too bad you missed it.

An hour after absorbing the worst beating of his career, Mike Tyson was sitting in his Memphis locker room, holding his baby daughter, his face swollen and chafed after eight brutal rounds with heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis. When ESPN's Jeremy Schaap asked him what the future held, Tyson smiled.


"I don't know, man," he said. "I guess I'm gonna fade into Bolivian."

I got it - just didn't think it was funny............ but I'm old so what do I know about humor, right?

69?
