Exactly. Just pat him on his head and say "that's nice," and let him keep rambling

I've long said the only opinion that matters at this point is that of the Texas Attorney General.
The question still stands, "Why are the Aggies so reluctant to just be honest with people about the history and tradition of their school? Who do they constantly act honestly and with integrity as a last resort each and every time?"
And to be clear, the issue isn't they embellished their tradition. The issue is they knowingly filed a false trademark application and they have subsequently knowingly filed false pleadings in federal court to defend the trademark. It isn't about embellishing the facts to create a tradition. It is about fraudulently misrepresenting the facts under oath in various federal filings.

So you didn't enforce your will on the DoD and revoke A&M's status as a Senior Military College and you're full of shite?
Got it.
Got it.

Unfortunately for you Texas A&M has won every lawsuit they have initiated to protect our rightful property.

Verne Lundquist talks about the great TAMU 12th Man tradition and the hero that E. King Gill was, understand it is a fairy tale that has been highly embellished by the university to misrepresent the true story. Gill was no hero whatsoever until the fictionalized 1939 radio play and when the TAMU administrators have been representing otherwise, they have known they are being intentionally dishonest.
You will find most of the great "traditions" of TAMU don't come close to the reality of what actually happened. Fabricating their school's history is one of TAMU's most cherished terditions.
And there isn't a single goddamn thing you can do about it. Besides, only one of our two schools has been charged by the state with fraudulent use of state funds before. Hint: It wasn't A&M.
Now please get help Mr. Satterfield, you're one life stressor away from being the next Charles Whitman.

We must be really fricking good then, because we have won literally every court case involving the trademark.

4 years and 4 Secretaries of Defense later, still no press release about the revocation of senior military college status.
