...The University of Alabama's embarrassing lawsuit against Moore over trademark rights remains alive seven years later.

Moore won the heart of the case in 2009 when a federal judge ruled that painting Crimson Tide uniforms didn't infringe on the university's trade dress....

In 2004 I carried my neece to an Alabama football game. My neece was a senior in high school. She had one of her girlfriends with her. We all set together. Her girlfriend was Daniel Moore's daughter.

"But I'm not going to tell you it doesn't still hurt," [Moore] said. "It feels like Dre Kirkpatrick getting hit from behind by the Honey Badger on a cheap shot."

The university wastes money on lawsuits like this, and looks like a money-hungry bully in the process. I've seen a few other similar instances -- whoever is in charge of university legal policy seems unconcerned about the millions in legal fees spent, as if it is a vehicle to kick money to a favored private firm.
