You can still claim you're sticking to your guns on the rules; the person we're attacking isn't a forum member. 8)RockHawk":34xbj1et said:This has turned into nothing but a personal attack, which goes against our forum rules...... I'll allow it.

She allegedly said it pissed her off (she's a Texas A&M alumni) that we "stole" the term from them. I submitted a little history lesson so we can end the nonsense that Texas A&M was the originator of the term.
The first recorded use of the term "twelfth man" was a magazine published by the University of Minnesota in September, 1900, that referred to "the mysterious influence of the twelfth man on the team, the rooter." Later, in the November 1912 edition of The Iowa Alumnus, an alumni publication of the University of Iowa (then known as State University of Iowa), E.A. McGowan described the 1903 game between Iowa and the University of Illinois. In his article, titled "The Twelfth Player" McGowan wrote: "The eleven men had done their best; but the twelfth man on the team (the loyal spirited Iowa rooter) had won the game for old S.U.I."

Every time the camera panned to his expression it just made the whole day feel sooooooo much better.
As a life-long fan it couldn't have gone any better.
Suck it, Elway.
