« Dallas paper: Hawks should 'cough up' the 12th Man slogan |Main| Seahawks all smiles for media day »
I'm not complaining, mind you, that the weather in Detroit is unseasonably warm for this time of year. Today, for example, it's in the low 40s, without a flake of snow on the ground. That is, except for the "Winter Blast," where snowmaking crews were brought in to create a giant snow slide and a dogsledding track in the middle of downtown. Meanwhile, the five-day forecast shows a 40-percent chance of snow on Saturday and Sunday. Yes, Ford Field is covered, but we all have to get there for game day. Picture of the fake snow below...

Snow King says it will snow at Game Time, but everyone will get there just fine. In addition, the Seahawks most importantly won't be in another car accident and best of all Matt Hasselbeck won't lose the game because he is smart and they won't beat themselves. If the last is true the Seahawks will be Super Bowl Champions.
While Texas A&M might have rights to the "12th Man", Seattle Seahawks have dedicated fans made up of men and women. I believe such dedication and team spirit is best honored by embracing the "12th Hawk". Leave the 12th Man in Texas and wave the banner of the '12th Hawk' - no mistaking what that means and who it belongs to.
Hurray to the Seahawks and to a Super Bowl victory!!!

The Seahawks don't need to use the "12th man" slogan to win games. The fans are there no matter what you call them. I think Texas A&M are opportunistic parasites trying to cash in, but if I were the Seahawks, I would just quite using the term. The flag doesn't have "man" written on it, so it can fly higher than ever. The Jersey has the number 12, and we all know what it means. Eveyone in Seattle will be climbing all over everyone to get a number 12 jersey, and A&M won't get a dime. Besides, then us fans can scream 12th man all we want, and they can't do a thing about it, as long as the Seahawks don't market the phrase. Tough Luck Texas!!
What is next? "We have been calling the people who come to our games and cheer 'fans' since the early 80's. No other teams should be able to call their supporters 'fans'"
Then again I also though that part of the patent and copyright process was to bring proof or research that no one else is already using it or doing the same thing, so it makes no sense to me why Texas A&M was awarded use of it at any point.
