Have they trademarked the phrase "Terrible Towel" and sued the Pittsburgh Steelers yet?

Wiki says 1985. And it really took off in 1988 during the Cotton Bowl when one of our 12th man kickoff team(*) took Tim Brown's towel and waved it around.
(*) Jackie Sherrill created a kickoff team composed entirely of walkon players. And they didn't suck.

I am pretty sure it was '85. I don't recall any really before that. In '85 we lost an early game to Baylor and then went on a big winning streak that culminated in beating Texas for the SWC Championship and then going on to beat Auburn with Bo in the Cotton Bowl. The towels started showing up that year and became a phenomenon.
Here they are in '85:

They copied off us. Don't be surprised to see sandstorm playing next week.
