ESPN.com - NFL/PLAYOFFS05 - Texas A&M unhappy Seattle fans called '12th man'
"FORT WORTH -- The Seattle Seahawks are facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl, but they have an off-the-field battle brewing with Texas A&M.
School officials are upset with the Seahawks' use of the '12th Man' theme to recognize their fan support. A&M has legal claims to the '12th Man' moniker, a school tradition that dates to the 1920s.
Texas A&M contends the 12th man lives at Kyle Field, not in Seattle.The Seahawks have celebrated their fans as a '12th Man' since the 1980s, when they used to turn the now-demolished Kingdome into one of the NFL's loudest venues. "
