What the heck, man? So for 10 years now people have been walking around with t-shirts that have the "Saw 'Em Off" logo printed on them. It's part of A&M's fight song for crying out loud. "Saw Varsity's horns off!" We've gone all this time and no one had a complaint. Then, 10 days after the A&M/UT game back in November, some longhorn jack ass decides to sue the sellers of these shirts. What, the shirts just now started bothering him? Was it because the Aggies beat the Longhorns for the first time in FOREVER? Give me a break. And adding a tuft of hair and nostrils so changes the image, doesn't it? Uh, no, it doesn't. You can't stop people from wearing the shirts, so what's the point of the lawsuit? Ten years of Aggies own these shirts. And now that this t-sip has cried over it, I'm sure all those Aggies will wear that "Saw 'Em Off" t-shirt proudly and more often. What was he thinking?And what's up with the UT dingus saying they want to make sure the "Saw 'Em Off" logo isn't confused with the UT longhorn logo? If you can't tell a difference between the two, then you have problems far beyond logos. It's quite obvious that in A&M's logo the horns are facing down and detached; in UT's logo the horns are facing up and connected. My goodness people.
The Aggies and Longhorns have been rivals since the beginning of time. Well, maybe not that long...but a long freaking time. Are you going to make us change our fight song now? Deal with it, man. It's a freaking logo. WHOOP!

I love being a Longhorn due to its tradition, its alumni, and it's fantastic representation of a state I am so proud of.
What I ignore is the school of business and the bureaucracy in charge of the whole place. They are money grubbing douchebags who we all hope will retire soon.
This lawsuit is outside of the tradition I am so proud of and I view it as something that should be ignored. I believe 99% of Longhorns will say that is crap. The 1% that don't are just upset there's not an equally powerful opposite shaming A&M.
