RANDOLPH DUKE THE AGS LOVE YOU

[J.B. TexasEx]

Did y'all come up with the word Texas? Did y'all come up with the word Longhorn? What about Bevo? You didn't come up with any of those but I bet you've got some trademarks related to them.

So - according to aggy logic - we should be paying Mexico royalties for trademarking and re-branding "Tejas"?

Geez...A&M really does stand for nothing https://www.tamu.edu/about/faq.html#standFor

Our debt to Mexico will be paid in full when we play against USC in Mexico City in 201.....oh yeah, Patterson was canned. Stupid idea, but now there is time to build a border wall.😜

 

[doc longhorn]

Man, that's a lot of words to say that A&M still owns the trademark and is in no danger of losing it.

Okay, podnuh, you win.  Your school has the trademark.  You can put your sword away now and go stand guard over your doggie burial ground.  Jesus Christ!

Seriously, friend, it's getting uncomfortably embarrassing now.

 

[doc longhorn]

aggy just admitted they stole it from someone else. But wait, aggy doesn't lie, cheat or steal nor tolerate those that do. Or do they? Well there's another tradition proved hollow/false!

Since aggy retreated to the SEC, I think we can dispense with any references to their so called "traditions".  It was all bullshit in the first place and now it is all out in the open.

Embarrassing is spending 3+ years of your life over a formal rival with absolutely nothing to show for it.

I'd rethink my priorities after a stretch like that.

Yet, here you are on a Longhorn board.  Waving your virtual sword at the evil sips.

Perhaps it's your priorities that need to be rethought.

I said before, you aggys would not understand what I am talking about and you illustrate my point perfectly.

Your so called "traditions" are nothing more than childish, cultish, hollow, meaningless bullshit.  You are documented liars and cheats.  The aggy parts of your school are an embarrassment to the state of Texas.  You are ridiculed country wide and the SEC schools look at you in amusement and disdain and consider you a probable win on their football schedule.

You didn't even have the courage to stand up and fight like men with YOUR main rival - the mean old Texas Longhorns.  Who had the LHN, that your moron turned down (that is now at Missouri - where things are really great).

And here you are - fighting to the death over one of your hollow "traditions".

Just like the aggy you are.  Whoop!

 

[BeardedTexan]

Whoa, calm down sport. You certainly are getting worked up for not caring about A&M at all. And A&M isn't fighting to the death over this tradition. A&M comfortably owns it and is in no danger over losing it.

 

[MikeV73]

While you are here bearded, any thoughts on your QB roster? Hubanek was coached by a friend, do you think he will start? Thought I would progress this towards a constructive topic.

 

[Randolph Duke]

And A&M also comfortably had the key to cold fusion and alchemy not so long ago. How did that work out for you guys?

There is a huge difference between being able to successfully file a false trademark application and to demonstrate academic integrity or intellectual honesty. And if you see what the senior administrators of Texas A&M have done in filing the false trademark application as anything other than intentional dishonesty and deception, please let me know how you view the whole TAMU 12th Man trademark scam. i would love to understand how anyone can consider it anything other than embarrassing.

College athletics rightfully gets bashed for being a platform upon which the alumni of far too many institutions get caught up in objectives other than providing opportunities for the next generation to learn the lessons of competition and the value of amateur athletics.

The TAMU 12th Man trademark scam is a sad example of where a misguided university administration decided it was more important to lie to the alumni, lie to the general public and to intentionally submit a false federal filing to bring false glory to an institution that was without legitimate glory to compensate for the low self esteem of the alumni.

In the end, all this will do is to de-legitimize the value of the Texas A&M education.

If I had anything to say to the Texas A&M alumni, it would be "Grow the F@#k up." At this point, the only people who are still buying your 1922/E. King Gill version of the "tradition" are those who are ignorant rubes. To intentionally perpetuate ignorance because the university's alumni lack the self esteem or self confidence to deal with the reality of the university's past is an insult to the people of Texas whose resources the university is squandering in its pursuit of fraudulent history.

Grow the F@#k up and deal with the truth. The people of Texas deserve better than what Texas A&M currently stands for, which is the intentional perpetuation of ignorance.

 

[BeardedTexan]

I believe you should deal with the truth that your crusade has been an epic failure. Hilariously so.

At the end of the day A&M has its trademark and you are a failure. You can't dispute that.

 

[doc longhorn]

Hmmmm - I'm starting to get a sneaking suspicion that the "bearded" cat is nothing more than a sock account, created to stir controversy and clicks.

Even an aggy can't be this stupid.

the ones who keep taking the bait and engaging him aren't covering themselves in glory either.

 

[MikeV73]

No response about actual aggie football from the bearded wonder? I guess if there is nothing to argue no response will follow.

 

[Randolph Duke]

For those who have never used Google Ngram, it tracks the use of any term or phrase in the 5 million books digitized in the Google books collection. Remember, E. King Gill claimed the aggys had no 12th Man tradition prior to 1939, but aggy claims Gill was suffering from dementia starting early in his life and had no idea what he was talking about  when it came to the school's "tradition." (I still don't understand how they can shit on the memory of someone who, other than being so stupid as to speak honestly of the school's history, was otherwise an honorable and decent individual, but aggy is as aggy does).

As anyone can tell from the the university's federal filings made under penalty of perjury, it all started in 1922 and the 1939 radio play played no part whatsoever in the aggy "tradition."

Academic integrity and intellectual honesty. It isn't found everywhere. It certainly isn't found in College Station, Texas.

 

[J.B. TexasEx]

...that your moron turned down (that is now at Missouri - where things are really great).

In Bowtie's defense, the moron who turned down DeLoss's "Lone Star Network" idea was their former AD - Billy Byrne. But, yeah, Loftin did not enjoy a memorable - albeit brief - tenure at Mizzery. Why they gave him a golden parachute for incompetence is a mystery. No wonder MU is in the crapper. Karmic justice

[BeardedTexan]

This is a deliberate attempt at spinning the truth. And a pathetic one at that.
Gill said he didn't see the importance of what he did that day in 1922 until the radio play in 1939. Not that it didn't exist until 1939. He never said the 12th man didn't exist until 1939. You are making that up to try to make your point.

Dallas Morning News, April 15, 1964. Gill didn't say he didn't see the importance of what he did. He unequivocally said he hadn't heard of any 12th man "tradition" on the TAMU campus prior to the 1939 radio play. Also, look at the 1957 interview I posted above. Gill repeatedly said both that he hadn't heard of the 12th Man "tradition" prior to the 1939 radio play and that the origin of the tradition was the 1939 radio play. If anyone is making anything up, it is either the TAMU alumni or E. King Gill. I'm just using Gill's own words and his story directly contradicts the alumni fairy tale.

Texas A&M had no 12th Man "tradition" prior to 1939. We know this from Gill's repeated explanations. The school simply followed what hundreds of other schools had been doing for decades, that being referring to their fans in the stands as the team's "twelfth man." Starting with the 1939 radio play, E. King Gill increasingly began to be called the school's 12th Man. In reality, E. Oscar Buck was the school's first "12th Man."

If you have any evidence Gill actually said he didn't see the importance of what he did that day in 1922 until the radio play in 1939, please point me to it. I am sensing you are making that quote up out of thin air. The thought Gill didn't sense the importance of what he did until McQuillen's fictionalized radio play the eliminated the other available substitutes and made Gill to be the hero of the day seems nonsensical. The "importance" of Gill's actions was the product of McQuillen's fabrications.

Why would a fabricated version of the events of the game have caused Gill to have thought differently of his actions 17 years later? Gill knew the truth for almost two decades, but hearing McQuillen's story of things that never happened made Gill realize just how meaningful his actions were? Really? You think that makes any sense?

A&M still has its trademark and horn bows out of the NCAA tournament early.

Again, any thoughts on the aggie QB race that I asked about a week ago? Curious if Hubanek has a legit chance to start this season.

And there are still graduates of a public university in Texas who can't rationalize the stories they were taught at fish camp as teenagers with reality.

That doesn't say much about the quality of public university education at some schools in Texas, does it?

By the way, you excited about seeing the Easter Bunny next weekend?
