Re: Beware the 12th Man

Beware the 12th man; Because in Seattle, chances are that's really a woman in drag.

The reality is hardly anyone could have told you who invented the phrase but even now and even with the benefit of the lawsuit, trademark and compensation pretty much everyone recognizes the 12th man as the Seattle Seahawks fan base. Like it or not you know it's true just like you probably didn't know it was Texas that started the phrase to begin with.

Not a reach at all and you couldn't be more wrong again. I could care less about your team other than it is a tad bit annoying when the "Seachildren" descend upon your board like a flock of seagulls chasing after doughballs in a parking lot.

You see, Skippy, you insult people's intelligence with your imitation, SanFrancisco FortyNiner drive-by message board tactics (probably where you all picked it up from) and your self-serving, weak, Wikipedia-based interpretation of the facts and football history.

The reality is hardly anyone under 20 or 30 and with no real knowledge of football living inside of Greater Seattle (and there seems to be quite a few of you, just sayin', ;)) could have told you who invented the phrase. You've all been brainwashed.

Now, I think it's admirable how the parents in Seattle allow their kids so much unsupervised free time on the computer, but how 'bout letting the adults talk, eh?

Who said the Seahawks own the phrase? Pretty sure I said the exact opposite. Not sure what your point is. Again. You did. You said Seattle gets more recognition for the phrase than A & M

I spelled out A&M if you read but the truth is I don't really care enough to bother each time. Sorry if I offended you. No, you didn't, which just shows that you really don't know what their tradition and culture is

Ask a few people who the 12th man is. You know the answer you will get.
NO ONE outside of your little corner of the country associates 12th man with anything other than Texas A & M.
and since you like internet searches, type in '12th man' in google or bing. You'll get the obligatory ad for a seahawks jersey, but the first three hits will be A&M, A&M, and then your wiki article. Seahawks 4th

seriously?

Are you getting the impression this kid isn't/wasn't a 'mathlete' or other scholarly achiever? :rofl:.

Re: Beware the 12th Man

I've heard more talk from Seahawk fans about "crowd" and "weather" than the actual team itself.

Worried?

LOL- I know.
how do you let an Efren Herrera comment slide by? That's their history, not this fabricated 12th man crap!

Re: Beware the 12th Man

Bull ****......the Superdome is the only 12th man! :brood:

Re: Beware the 12th Man

Let them have their little 12th man etc. They need that validation for their organization.

If they beat us tomorrow night, they'll have to beat us TWICE - second time in the playoffs or NFCCG. Mark my words, they WILL NOT beat Drew Brees, Sean Payton, Graham, Sproles, Rob Ryan, Cam Jordan and EVERYONE up there twice. An overconfident fan-base and team is the hallmark of a Pete Carroll team.

We could win tomorrow, split with Carolina or lose both to Carolina and have to play the Seahawks up there again. If I had my choice, SCREW MNF, we'll beat them in the playoffs - they won't stop us twice.
Perfect NFL overconfidence opportunity for their ego.

So winning or losing tomorrow, 12th man, all that crap, means nothing if we beat them by 1 point in the NFCCG or playoffs.

Re: Beware the 12th Man

We've got this one the 12th man WHO DAT !!!!

Ask a few people where? I reside 74 miles from the home of the original 12th man. I would be happy to ask everyone i see today that exactly question and I know exactly what answer I will get.
