I don't know if this has been pointed out yet but is nobody mentioning the lawsuit regarding the longhorn symbol between tu and Ft Worth. Everyone talking about how stupid this is but never says anything about that and yet it is the same principle.

Intresting; I for one have not heard about this tu-Ft Worth deal; any links?

The funny thing is that our "little land grant university" doesn't have a dairy center or a swine center. I wonder if Washington State does?

Thank you WTAg06

Hey, WTAg06, do you think "doughboy" meets that criteria?

He knows EXACTLY what he is talking about in regards to the "little bonfire deal". This is a classic example of an out-of-touch elitest media type.

He should be forced to come down, learn about the history of bonfire, visit the memorial and read about each of the 12 students that died. Then, meet w/ a few of their parents to really understand what our "little bonfire deal" is all about.

Let's see if he thinks it's funny then.

I went to a seahawks-eagles game in the new stadium. sat 5 rows from the bench. It was so boring. I was amazed at how dull it was.

The key here is Seattle profitting from the use of a registered trademark of A&M's. My guess is there will either stop using it or A&M will agree to receive profit from their usage of our trademark. It should be interesting to see how Seattle handles this and what kind of cash they offer to settle.

My complete message to gj was a little long, so this is just part of the close:

Texas A&M may be located in a small town in your view, but we are not just some little land grant school that some seattle high flyer can come down here and buy us out. Be very careful, there are enough wealthy Aggie Former Students down here that could come up there, buy out the seahawks, move them to Beaumont and call them the Swamp Ducks.

Proud of George H.?? Yes, very proud to have him represent our country.

Of course, I'm not from Texas, so I'll leave this argument to you guys.

You aren't from Texas? Neither is George HW - you two have something else in common.

Please stop including ridiculous threats in your e-mails. No one associated with A&M has more money than Paul Allen.

If you insist on sending an e-mail (a pretty retarded idea to begin with), don't include idle threats, pathetic name-calling or outlandish, unverifiable claims.

So, basically get rid of everything in every e-mail posted on this thread.

This is what I sent:

"What a pathetic article... If you can use your imagination to think up a SEA-HAWK (lol) then you can surly think of a NON-TRADEMARKED...

Please tell me you didn't really write that. Are you 11?

"Coffe drinking," "geek" and gay references were bad enough, but did you really write "lol?"

LOL?

Are you 11? Did you really write that?

Please stop sending e-mails.

^ please stop playing email police.

whats going on is 'smack'. the lawyers will take care of the serious communications, the rest is fan-based smack.

Adults should never send something containing "lol."

When his paper prints all of these ridiculous e-mails, it will not look good.

^ and you think he/they would othersise print something good???? sheesh...

What an ass hat he is. Dumb Seattle jerk.

Better to have fewer e-mails with "Brokeback Mountain," "Computer Geek," or, worst of all, "LOL" for them to choose from when printing Letters to the Editors.

We look like idiots on this one. We should have let this one lie alone but now we look like the village idiots.

We look like idiots on this one. We should have left this alone but we open our big mouths and look like children.

TK03 - who appointed you the almighty.

Has anyone gotten a response from the paper/writer yet?

Why get a trademark if you aren't going to do anything about future instances such as this one? I think it would look worse to NOT do anything about it.

The guy was wrong about claiming "the wave" was invented in Washington. Everyone knows Krazy George invented "the wave". I'm sending this loser an e-mail to express my outrage.

i love the response by washingtonian fb fan talking smack that niether of the texas teams are in the superbowl. finally get a playoff win and they act like they are the f-ing patriots or 49ers of the 80's or dallas or pittsburg with more titles than they have playoff wins.

ATTENTION:

Everyone please run all emails, letters, faxes, and phone messages through TK03 first, notwithstanding the fact that his reading comprehension is lacking.

Thank you.

Hey BBAggie06 - That is a great picture of Jerry Rice! He has always worn number 80, and when he came to the Seahawks he ASKED Steve Largent about wearing his number, and Steve Largent was so honored that he quickly agreed to have his number brought out of retirement so Jerry Rice could wear it. Do you Aggies ever do any research of your own? Do you just grab comments out of context and then take them personally (like the Bonfire one) so you can trash all over the guy? Honor, sportsmanship? Mean anything down there? You harp all over your tradition of the twelfth man and then you hawk it on things like decaf coffee! GIVE ME A BREAK! What's next? Sesame Street can no longer be brought to us by the number 12? If you look, Seahawks don't put "THE TWELFTH MAN" on anything, they just use the number 12. Since we have been doing so since 1984, six years prior to your copywrite, since you have not said anything since 1990 until 2004, you have probably lost your right to exercise your claim. See you in court!

Just keep your cool folks, and remember that when this Greg Johns fellow goes to bed tonight, he'll be in the state of Washington, and when you go to bed tonight, you will be in the home of the Alamo, NASA, big oil, big cotton, big cattle, Davey Crockett, Sam Houston, and George W. Bush, the only state to have ever functioned as a democratic republic on its own before becoming a part of the United States, and the only territory admitted to the Union on its terms, not the federal government's terms, the Lone Star State of TEXAS.

Just to be a contrarian for a second, I have to point out that they could respond with "Washington state has Microsoft, Boeing, the world's richest man, Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands, Mt. Ranier, steelhead and salmon fishing, elk hunting, and a land grant university football team which beat the snot out of Vince Young and the sip offense."

That was clearly a jab of his. You suck at reading comprehension.

I sincerely hope some of the emails shown here really weren't sent, or we're gonna look even more ridiculous than we're being made out to be.

notanag- make sure to use your posts wisely, you only have 4 left!

Will I NEED all five of my alloted posts? Let's see about MY reading comprehension. I read: "But you Aggies are a bit aggressive with this whole copyright thing. Your administrators have trademarked Aggies, 12th Man, Twelfth Man, 12th Mania, Fightin' Texas Aggie Band, Wrecking Crew, Texas Aggie Bonfire and Gig'em Aggies.

I'm here to say, right now, we'll give you "Gig'em Aggies" and the whole bonfire deal and we'll keep the 12th man."

I don't think for one moment he was referring to your tragedy.

Maybe your view of your fellow man is what sucks.

I was wrong.

An alleged adult actually wrote "lol" twice.

Wow.
