We could use a 3rd pro team in texas...The College Station Seahawks?


They don't have the copyright.  That's what's funny about this.  If Paul Allen LITERALLY copyrighted this back then, the Aggies are screwed.   Again, the Aggies DO NOT possess THE LITERAL copyright to the "12th Man".  Saying it since 1922 is NOT a Copyright.

Trademark is different than Copyright.  Aggies will not win.  These is NO similarity between the two.  If the Aggies were smart, they'd hold the Copyright as well.

We've been using it since 1984. What year did the Aggies trademark it? ;)

Grandfather clause.
