Love that TAMU fans are all butt hurt over the 12th man. You know, a fairly common term they didn't create to begin with that has meant the crowd at home games for a very long time. It's like if someone tried to patent a restaurant named '19th hole' at a golf course and then tried to extort cash from every other clubhouse that did also had one.

Look, TAMU has a great game day tradition and a loyal fan base, but getting all freaked out over someone else using a generic term is just :lame:

That's a funny analogy but so true.

Well, trademarks aren't typically given out to generic terms and there are rules around having a trademark. If A&M didn't say something to Seahawks owners a few years ago then we would have lost the trademark. Pretty odd that someone gets bent out of shape over someone protecting their legal property.

Well, it may have been trademarked by A&M in 1989, but it had been used as a common term to describe fans at a football game as early as 1912 (University of Iowa). Actually, until the lawsuit, I had never even heard of the Texas A&M's use of the term. It had always been just another one of those terms that I had heard just about everywhere.

This case would actually lead me to lean more toward not allowing common figures of speech to becoming trademarked years after it was originally put into use (in this case over 75 years later). In the end, it doesn't matter, as the lawsuit was settled and Seattle has the right to use the moniker.

No, it's pretty odd that someone gets bent out of shape for someone else using the same language in a different way. I didn't go to a TAMU board and bring it up now did I? ;-)

Just because Seattle also calls it the 12th man doesn't mean it takes away from the very unique fan traditions of your fine institution. Seattle has their own tradition under it and it is so totally different as to question why anyone down there cares at all. It is a generic term like the 19th hole or the 7th inning stretch and no one is using it in a way that degrades or otherwise insults your school.

Yupper's my 12th man Brothers

We have been bashed,rehashed and everything under and over the book,we know,lordy do we know.

When we have been good we were never good enough to others,and when we were good it was a fluke,always something.


But hey let's pour a good olde Rainier and remember the Kingdome.
