Fight On for PSU?

Not the combo you expected.

It's not like USC has a trademark on "Fight On," but it just seems strange to see the phrase surface in any other context. Penn State's official fight song is called Fight On, State and is commemorated in this year's schedule poster for the Nittany Lions.

Fight on, JoePa!

Ack! Trademarks and copyrights are two different things!

When you say they "don't have a copyright", the question would then be yhy would they ever copyright it? Copyrights are for a limited term. Trademarks (corporate logos, symbols and even slogans) are more difficult to register, but last forever. For a contemporary example: just look to the recent dispute between Texas A&M and the Seattle Seahawks over the "12th Man".

So, that's a longwinded way of saying you meant to say trademark (I wig out because, in MN anyway, I'm an attorney)

I see Penn State having a great shot at winning the Big 10 this year. Michigan should be their biggest competition. I think Ohio State may drop off a bit.

Maybe PSU was unhappy to see we seem to be appropriating the "Linebacker U" moniker.

Adam Rose learned about the highs and lows of USC athletics while going to school. As a freshman, he watched the football team crash to the bottom of the Pac 10. By the time he was a senior, he was in the stands for a National Championship. In between, he liked to argue points as a member of the Trojan Debate Squad. Nowadays, he's just looking to tell a good story. He is currently Sports Editor for LAist, where he covers a wide range of local action. He can also be seen weekly on KNBC 4's News Raw. Adam manages special events in the sports community when he isn't participating himself (he staggered through the LA Marathon and can often be found on local soccer fields). If you have a question about the Trojans or just want to give him a piece of your mind, email: adam@laist.com.
