The Blue Board

STFU you worthless prick.

why do you get so angry when facts are introduced?

tom is a historian, not a mathematician.

just because you trademarked it, doesn't mean you came up w/ it. the university of iowa did it long before you did, and it's documented. there is no disputing that fact.

In American football, the term was first used in an alumni publication of The University of Iowa in 1912 in reference to its fans. The term was first applied to an individual, E. King Gill in 1922. In subsequent years, students at Texas A&M University adopted the term as their moniker and the school formally trademarked the term in 1990.

The first recorded use of the term "twelfth man" was in the November 1912 edition of The Iowa Alumnus, an alumni publication of the University of Iowa (then known as State University of Iowa) in which 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." [1]

Texas fans are so pathetic and obnoxious. If the Aggies are as irrelevant and unworthy as you claim, why spend so much time focusing on them?

Also USMCAG is really pissed off right now

Really?

I don't see how mentioning the 100 year anniversary of a pretty common football term has anything to do with a school I didn't mention. Do you? If so maybe you're the one who is obsessed with that school.

Hey now, dont go around using our trademark. Well sue.

We're obsessed with Texas? Can I get a link or two? Burden of proof's on you.
