Aggy being Aggy

[dragonfootballfan]

I really cannot believe that Aggy is actually doing this. It is amazing. I guess they should sue almost every football coach and every football fan and every football announcer while they are at it.Link (http://www.thebatt.com/media/paper657/news/2006/01/27/News/Trademarking.Your.Territory-1515107.shtml?norewrite&sourcedomain=www.thebatt.com)

This is not so out of the ordinary. Kansas State threatened to sue a DFW area school district a few years ago for using a likeness of the K State Wildcat. I would think UT might have trademark registration to the longhorn moniker as well. Usually offending parties do so as an oversight and cease once they are notified. The Chicago Bears & Buffalo Bills used the 12th man several years ago but stopped when they found of the trademark infringement. So far Paul Allen has not seen fit to honor the trademark rights.

but how can somebody trademark something as general as the 12th man. That is ridiculous. Are they going to claim that the 6th man award in the NBA is too close to the trademark too?

There are lots of simple things that get trademark or copyright protection through the law. A&M did receive a registered trademark for the 12th man. I am not saying it is good or bad it just is. The whole area has a huge impact financially because through the trademark rights, A&M is entitled to all the revenues generated using the trademark.... that is really what it is about... the money.

The K-state thing caught my eye because Humble (Wildcats) uses the same logo on their helmets as KSU. I wonder if they worked something out. Hell, the Woodlands use the same funky "W" that is on U of Wisconsin helmet.

I personally thought it was pretty cheap of the Seahawks to use the 12th man reference with A&M having used it for so long.
poooooooor aggy! i was wondering if the 'hawks are aspiring to win 4 games next year.

[Big Daddy Cool]

Why did they wait until Seattle made the Super Bowl to decide to do something about it? If they were so bothered by it why didn't the do something sooner.

Seattle first made reference to it back in 1984 when they retired a 12th man jersey in honor of the fans. They really did not do much with it until this year when they revived the promo early in the year. A&M was in touch with them a few months ago long before they were locked into the SB. They (Seattle) have chosen not to respond. I talk with a friend of mine who lives on Widbey Island and he said the 12th man stuff seemd to be gaining momentum by the 2nd game this year.

[AZTiger]

another instance of copyright infringement (which this is, and whether horn fans like it or not, it's a legitimate beef), was when Warner Bros. made Schulenburg HS change their Shorthorns logo from the Superman logo.

Uh....they're defending they're rights to the trademark....what's wrong with it? It'd be the if some pro team adopted the longhorns as their mascot and started using "hook'em horns" as they're logo or saying and made a fortune selling things that had "hook'em horns" on it.

[Reaganrattler07]

Considering the life expectancy of a collie is 8-12 years, then they'd have a funeral roughly every 12 years (considering that Ms. Reveille is well taken care of). Now, I don't see how they'd be constantly doing funerals if this occurence happens every 12 years.

So if your mom died, would you treat her like that? All she is is a bag of bones with skin and flesh....but no, you would treat her with respect. Just as I would with my dog.

Dude.......Did you just compare my mother to a dead dog?

Not quite the same........

One of them changed my diapers, taught me my ABC's, carried me to and from practice, and loved me unconditionally since the second I was born.

The other............licked itself in less than desirable places...and ate it's own sh.t....

If you think those two circumstances are the same......You have some serious issues young man.

maybe you should find out about your school that you support. I found this from the official corps website.

While membership in the Corps itself carries no military obligation, all cadets must take basic ROTC classes during their first two years. Subsequent enrollment in advanced ROTC leads to an officer's commission, but is strictly voluntary. Approximately one-third of graduating cadets choose this career option. However, most cadets receive non-military advanced leadership training through the Office of the Commandant and are termed Drill and Ceremonies (D&C) Cadets. They participate fully in all Corps activities, but do not incur a military service commitment.

that is great that they produce a lot of military officers, but it also says in the article that in the first two years of the corps program nobody is associated with the ROTC or military. All of those students are playing dress-up. Maybe I should not stereotype all of the corps for playing dress-up. I mean 1/3 of 1/2 of the corps is in the military. I mean 5/6 of the corps is playing dress-up. That is not that much is it?

[wide-e-wide]

However, you are stereotyping them by saying they all "play dress up", as you call it, which is flat out wrong. Another thing - like I said earlier, they produce the most amount of officers outside the Academies.


Must we paint by numbers to dumb it down for you idiots?

While they are at aggy.......you with me so far?
While they are in the corps at aggy....still with me?
THEY ARE PLAYING DRESS UP!!

If they go on to serve in the military...(which the numbers show that most of them don't) then............AND ONLY THEN.....are they not playing dress up.

Until then...they are a cult of pretend army soldiers with a fetish for dead dogs and farm animals.

[dragonfootballfan]

This is still BS. Did you ever think that maybe they have other reasons for joining, like to become better disciplined or because of family tradition? Your argument just has too many holes.
what are you talking about. 2/3 of the people that enter the corps do not go into the real military therefore they were playing dressup because they are not real soldiers. If they are doing it for another reason they are not really in the military and are thus pretending to be in the military.

For one, his pants aren't down. Two, I don't see how this somehow implies that the person in said photos has a liking to the animals. But is merely holding the head inbetween his knees/thighs. The reason, as I can only speculate, to why he's holding it like that is that if he were to hold it from the side, it would not be a good place to hold it and would impair the profile picture of the animal and it's pretty basic to never get behind an animal.

Well, think about it. President Bush makes a speech saying something like "The terrorists think that the war on terror cannot be won" and then the media takes it and makes a headline saying "The way on terror cannot be won - Bush".

So this media is doing this because they have a liberal bias, or because they just don't like Bush, or they are doing this to sell newspapers, or they are doing this because they are stupid, or they are doing this because they have a hidden agenda that includes a plan to overthrow the entire government. You do not know why somebody would do what you say somebody did, which I have never seen.

[lonny23]

find me somebody that is not Aggy that thinks that having an elaborate funeral for a dog is normal. Then ask that same person if it is normal to build a scoreboard outside of their graves so that they know the score of the football games. Then ask that same person if a dead animal should be subjected to such terrible football. Then ask that same person if it is normal to play dress up as a soldier every weekend. I garauntee you they will not think that is normal. I do not condemn somebody for thinking differently than I do. I condemn them for being stupid.
1. Having an elaborate funeral for a dead dog is not normal.
2. The scoreboard for the dog is stupid. I wouldn't complain if they put up a sign and said (for example) "This is where Reveille 3 is buried and she lived from 1991-2004."
3. Terrible football probably killed a few dogs.
4. I don't think it's necessary to play Soldier/Seaman/Airman/Marine for every waking hour for 4 years. I say the same thing about the Academies, The Citadel, and VMI. It doesn't make you any better for the military and that's why I never gave thought about going through Air Force ROTC at A&M.

[lonny23]

http://www.theeagle.com/stories/112705/local_20051127008a.php
Maybe the UT band was playing bad that day!:p

Actually, that's an embarrassment to the military. I talk about not liking Austin or UT, but that's still garbage for A&M to act that way. I don't like A&M either.

[lonny23]

maybe you should find out about your school that you support. I found this from the official corps website.



Link (http://www.aggiecorps.org/home/about/)Obviously, being in the military, I knew that only Advanced ROTC required a military obligation, but I had no idea they let people stay in the Corps without taking Advance ROTC. Personally, I think it's stupid to have a Corps if the guys who stay 4 years don't end up being officers in the military. Why waste 4 years of your life playing like you're a soldier? Either be a soldier or don't be one and not stay in the middle.

[lonny23]

from what I read only 1/3 of the Corps participants go on to the actual military. That means that 2/3 of the people that participate are playing dress-up.
Yes, 2/3 are playing dress-up. That stuff is crazy. I'm a career Air Force guy, I really care about my job and work a lot of hours because I'm dedicated, but nobody in the military wants to or does think military 24/7. We can't be that way no matter how much we love our job. I'll work 20 hour days if I need to and I'll go on long deployments, but we all need, want, and take breaks from being a military guy or gal to keep our sanity. We sure don't want to wear a uniform 24/7 even though we're proud to wear a uniform.

[lonny23]

that is great that they produce a lot of military officers, but it also says in the article that in the first two years of the corps program nobody is associated with the ROTC or military. All of those students are playing dress-up. Maybe I should not stereotype all of the corps for playing dress-up. I mean 1/3 of 1/2 of the corps is in the military. I mean 5/6 of the corps is playing dress-up. That is not that much is it?
The article said that all cadets have to take ROTC for the first 2 years. Of the guys who stay in the Corps all 4 years, which is probably the vast majority, 1/3 end up in the military. One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far is if there are a limited number of Cadets who can take Advanced ROTC. All the military services limit the number of new officers, so they may be competing for spots in the classroom at A&M.

[lonny23]

Farm animals? Don't you all have a cow on your sideline?
We don't need to get into farm animals.

A&M- dog- farm animal
Texas- cow- farm animal
SMU- horse- farm animal
Arkansas- pig- farm animal
Tech- horse- farm animal
TCU- frog- on farm, but not farm animal
Rice- owl- on farm, but not farm animal
Baylor- bear- on farm, but not invited!
Houston- cougar- on farm, but not invited!

5 out of 9 SWC teams had animals kept on a farm and the other 4 show up uninvited.

[lonny23]

That's Bull**** and you know it. Otherwise, I guess all Texas ROTC members are "just playing dress-up?"
ALL ROTC members wear a uniform while they're in training. The difference is A&M does it 24/7 and it doesn't get them anything that all the other ROTC kids don't get after 4 years.

Personally, I think it's foolish for somebody to go through 4 years as a Cadet and not join the military. Even if they don't have room for all the Cadets in Advanced ROTC, they can still apply for OTS or join enlisted. I know kids have fun in sports and most hope to go to the next level from where they're currently at, but some want to get to a certain level and quit. I know people are proud to be in the Corps, but I do question why somebody would stop with the military stuff after 4 years in the Corps.

[lonny23]

they are paid by the military. They are in the military. They wear actual military uniforms.
All the members who are in any of the Advanced ROTC's get a monthly stipend for their Junior and Senior years. They also offer 2, 3, and 4 year scholarships in ROTC that require a military commitment.

All I'm trying to say to the A&M guys is that the least you should get out of 4 years in the Corps is to prepare you for military service. I bet the guys who used to be in the Corps all joined the military.

[wide-e-wide]

I know people are proud to be in the Corps, but I do question why somebody would stop with the military stuff after 4 years in the Corps.

Q. By enrolling in UT Army ROTC, are you joining the Army?
A. No. Students who enroll in UT Army ROTC don't join the Army. They take an UT Army ROTC class for which they receive college credit. It's considered a college elective.

Oops. I guess they didn't teach you how to research arguyments over in Austin. Heck, they only have to take one class over there to play dress-up! At least the guys in College Station have to go through more of a program to put on the uniform.


Also, who ever said it was more than one Corps member who threw something on the Longhorn band? I read that it was one Corps member who was swiftly disciplined. Also, in that picture.. i'd have to say i only see one Corps member with a sword drawn. Critical thinking and Decisive visualization isn't something they teach at such a Liberal college. Wide, you seem to be good at dumbing things down for others. I guess you are used to that with the education you received.

On thursday, I was on campus, and they were wearing MARPAT-Like camo fatigues while the others wore their appropriate fatigues. Their standard dress pays homage to the roots of Texas A&M and that is why their dress unis aren't the same as current unis. Also, that is standard across all disciplines and creates a unity over all Cadets.

The Coast Guard is a part of the Pentagon. They are a military branch in time of war, but don't usually go to fight with the other branches. I can see making fun of them a little, but they shouldn't be completely dismissed. I make fun of the Guard and Reserve, but those guys still do their time in deployed locations.

I assume by Pentagon you mean the Dept of Homeland Security. That is where they are since 2003. From 1967 to 2003 they were part of the Dept of Transportation. Prior to 1967 they were in the Dept of the Treasury. In time of war you are correct.. they are loaned to the Navy. I think the last time that was done was in WWII.

I don't see costume design anywhere... what about the milkman uniforms?

To be quite honest, I don't think they need to dedicate an entire department to designing a uniform that's been a tradition for years.

The players of Slocum are pretty much gone and Fran's own players are on their way in. Fran is a better coach then what people give him credit for.

Christ dude, forgive someone for having a life and not being here 24/7 to read every damned thread on every damned topic.

I wish this board would have been around when the incident did happen so I could have seen you making light of deaths. Would have been great...


So I don't have a life?
I would bet big money that I do more before 9am than you do all damn day.

And again....for the reading impaired.......

I am not making light of deaths....

I am pointing out a fact. That's all.....

[Primetime536]

Is everyone really tripping over aTm being upset about the Seahawks taking the 12th man? UT fans are really pathetic. Why wouldnt aTm be upset, the 12th man is like their thing. Thats like the buffalo taking hook em horns. What do you think UT would do about that? Same damn thing. All you UT people, please stop talking about aTm, and for the love of god stop saying aggy. Its getting pathetic on this board. Get creative, think of a new punch line to diss aTm, just stop saying aggy. Oh, and one more thing, UT fans please stop talking about UTs lack of respect its also getting rediculous. Every damn day its the same thing, UT fans using the same sarcasm over and over again, come on. "Vince Young throws side arm and cant throw","VTech will win the National championship","Reggie Bush is overrated","Mack Brown cant win the big game", Give the **** a break,,,,,,please, we all know UT is good and we all know VY is good. Enjoy the national championship and shut the hell up.

But it wouldn't surprise me if you did...judging by what I read daily and your fixation with all things "aggy"

As far as the "I do more before 9am than you do all day.." sure man, whatever makes you feel good. I understand you have a family and I'll give you that, but don't talk to me like I'm some bum college student. I get up at 545am to run a couple miles, cook breakfast, read the news, etc. before I go to work, so let's just say we're equally productive.

Just don't chastise people because they weren't around for one of your rants about a topic that is being brought up again.

[AZTiger]

and for the record, when I found out the "student led" bonfire didn't even light this year, I laughed my *** off...because it's pretty much a metaphor for everything going on with the university as a whole at the current time.

if you're throwing in dealing with kids and whatnot, you're right, i wouldnt last in that world...that's why i'm don't have any, i'm not ready for that.

this whole thing started with you throwing a hissy fit when i said it was shameful and classless to bring up the bonfire mishap. how the hell was i supposed to know you were banned over that or that you've had to explain yourself for your comments on it before? i wasn't...so calm down.

I'll be bias here and use Washington as an example. In 2004, Washington played with a Steve Spurrier team. This year, they played with about an 80% Joe Gibbs team, and look at the results.

If you had been there...and seen what I have seen...
You would probably agree with me.
Of course I shouldn't generalize.....I guess?
But every freakin' one that I ever met was about as sharp as a beachball.
They do a service...let's just leave it at that.
But in the words of my good friend dragonsfootballfan.....Calling them military is like calling Dennis Franchione a football coach.


Hmmmm...this is odd...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,119957,00.html
Following is the official list of American military personnel killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom from May 1, 2003 to May 9, 2004 as of Sunday, May 9, 2004.

go down to April 24...third listing...

Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Nathan B. Bruckenthal, 24, of Smithtown, N.Y. Died in the Northern Persian Gulf as a result of a waterborne attack. Assigned to Tactical Law Enforcement Team South Detachment 403.

and this man is aggy? or is Dennis Franchione a football coach?

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[lonny23]

What the hell is that supposed to mean?
It means the Coast Guard guys are a part of the military and they die just like we do. I just came back from Kyrgyzstan. We didn't have the Coast Guard come through just because Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan are landlocked, but I saw plenty of the other branches who had been in the war effort from 4 months to 2 years. That's right, they have some people who have to spend up to 2 years in a war zone with a few R&R breaks thrown in. Those Coast Guard guys do help with the war, but not as much as the rest of us with their limited numbers.

[mad_fan]

I'm gonna address this whole thread in one swoop.

First of all, I will clarify that I bleed orange through and through.
Secondly, being a grad of UT, I understand the importance of tradition and what it means to the students even decades after the fact. This includes traditions with mascots. Does A&M take it a little far sometimes? Sure. Every college takes tradition a little far.
Thirdly, who cares if it is a dog. It's a mascot. Hell, Bevo lives better than half the students at UT and generally, a collie has more intelligence than cattle.
Next, Rattler, don't attempt to beat Wide to death with facts. It will do no good. He doesn't listen to reason.

Everyone lay off A&M for a while. It is still a fine University to graduate from whether you buy into all the tradition or not. If you get a degree from there in anything, you'll probably do well in your career.

That is hilarious...
Every freakin' racist I have ever met...says the very same thing..
"I'm not a racist...I have black friends"
gimme a break

So would you use you little "saggers" analogy around those black friends?
I doubt it...
Because guess what...they would see right through that crap just like I did.

Here is an idea...why not just walk up to random black people and explain your "saggers" theory to them. See what kind of reaction you get...
Oh you won't do that....
But if there really wasn't anything racist about your little theory...you wouldn't hesitate to do it.

You won't do it .........because you know you will get your *** whipped. Which in turn means.........you are hiding behind a computer screen...which in turn makes you are a coward..which in turn means I have no respect for you.

Understand?
The fact that you had to google "David Duke" should let everyone know...that you aren't old enough to know your *** from a hole in the ground.
