A&M didnt start the 12th Man either. They were just the first to trademark it. If anything, that should an embarrassment in itself. Its like you stole something, and then tried to legally call it yours so you could cry if others used it. Wait, thats exactly what it is.
Besides the fact that the Univeristy of Minnesota and Iowa were the first American football teams to use it, and european football (soccer) clubs have been using it forever, Seattle was using it before the trademark was even set in place.
Trademarking something should only be allowed if you are the original creator. End of story. Taking someone elses stuff, making a profit off of it, and actively hindering anyone else from doing the same, is massive failure in our system.

Amen to this! I like 12s better anyway.gowazzu02":pfpf4zqj said:Been going the way of "the 12s" for a while now. Which is fine by me. Let A&M have their thing.
