Texas A&M Is Suing The Indianapolis Colts

Thomas Campbell-USA TODAY Sports

First, they took down the Seattle Seahawks, now they're going after the Colts. According to ESPN.com's Darren Rovell, Texas A&M is suing Indianapolis Colts for "unauthorized use to its 12th Man trademarks"...

Per A&M president Michael K. Young's press release...

quote:
“Texas A&M University is the Home of the 12th Man which has brought our fan base national renown. We would prefer not to file lawsuits to protect our trademarks. However, when our intellectual property, especially the 12th Man mark which is so important to our students and former students, is used without our permission after repeated attempts to engage on the matter, we are left with no choice.”

"Intellectual property" is a pretty generous term.

What a bunch of pussies. TAMU: your board of regents has nothing better to do during football season? I guess this is what happens when you enlarge your FB stadium and your team frickING SUCKS so nobody fills it up. Such a say day and age to be an Aggie.

"No one associates The 12th Man with Texas A&M anymore, so now we have to sue anyone who uses it so we no longer feel irrelevant"

I think this is what he meant to say.

Need that extra money to pick up the Chavis tab.

Kick the 12th man out of the SEC as we don't need a bunch of trial lawyers from swell head Texas ruining SEC football!

HailFreezusOver•101 months

you have to sue to keep your trademark.

if you dont sue you lose it correct?

They should write "13-1 Man"

gizmoflak•101 months

A&M places far more importance on a mythical "12th man" than on men 1 through 11 actually playing the game of tackle football, which is why the Aggies will forever be irrelevant and never win shite

HoustonGumbeaxTurd obviously can't do math. Everytime the Aggies play at home they automatically have the largest attendance in the SEC that week.

Check the stats. Doesn't matter who's playing.

houstongumbo conveniently omits the fact that Kyle Field consistently has the largest attendance of any SEC school regardless of who the visitor is.

That includes the games this past weekend, one of which was LSU absorbing a curb stomping.

FishFearMe•101 months

houstongumbo doesn't bring up the fact that the Texas Aggies have the highest attendance numbers in the SEC.

Fishfearme, could you be anymore pathetic?

Not one, not two, but three posts in a row from a crying aggie!

The SEC died when they added A&M and Missouri

I don't see the issue with suing here? If you disagree with intellectual property rights, you can go to China

they'll probably sue anderson cooper for being gay

I thought their tradition was male cheerleaders blowing each other on the sidelines.

aTm is also going to sue golf courses that call their clubhouse the "19th hole".

Sure many did it before aTm, sure it's not unique, but aTm found it important enough to trademark and everyone else just thought it was a little meaningless phrase.

Such freaking aggies.

Well, this is A&M we're talking about.
