Old. Not necessarily wiser, but old.

Then, a&m sent cease and desist to the colts in 2006, they were apparently ignored and now 10 years later are filing suit? Kind of cut from the same cloth you think?
Eh, not really. I'm obviously not in the loop but as far as I know the Seahawks paid attention from the start, and worked this out in good faith with A&M. Indy, on the other hand, has basically said "frick you, we ain't reading all that."
Off on a bit of a tangent, as a software developer the misuse of "copyright" in this thread is bugging the hell out of me. I'm like that. Copyright is implied for published works. You don't even need to know you have it, you do. Trademarks require paperwork and quite a bit more attention. "The 12th Man" is a trademark owned by Texas A&M.

I see. Definitely a difference on how the courts could handle this. I just don't see how a&m could ever lose, they have 4 trademarks and apparently 3 of which are indisputable. No I'm not an expert on trademark law but I know what the words trademark and indisputable mean.
Thank you for actually discussing your thoughts and not getting stuck on the distinctions of what the word trademark means.
