They lead the league in penalties and suspensions? Doesn't sound like they are very successful cheaters does it? How did they manage to beat the 49ers?

This doesn't even make sense.

Yeah - they're more fun anyway

Yup. Nothing is more fun then throwing popcorn at injured guys and copying another franchises nickname and passing it off as their own, and leading the league in cheating. Fun times.

I guess my last post wasn't "retarded" enough (didn't that term go out with the dinosaurs?) - since you responded

Anyhoo ~
~ I condemned those who threw food at Bowman when it happened.
~ The Seahawks didn't copy another "franchise's nickname" - it was the nickname for their fan base (I guess they were just smart enough to realize it was worth paying for it to build on a a clever marketing idea).

Back to the topic . . .

NFL on ESPN ‏@ESPNNFLICYMI:
@Seahawks QB @DangeRussWilson traded in the football helmet for the baseball cap with the Texas Rangers. http://es.pn/1i7GugI ;

(feel free to give the M's a pep talk whenever the fancy strikes you, Russell )

Ah, another dinosaur post. 12th man was copyrighted by A&M and licensed to you guys, which is a way to make profit. They weren't smart enough to market it???

They've had 12th man Aggie merchandise for sale and have marketed it well before most Seahawk fans knew what football was. That much is clear especially by this marketing point... Ask people from Texas and those who watch college football, they laugh at the fake 12th man. It would be like paying the steelers to use the term terrible towel then passing it off as your own and proclaiming you are brilliant for marketing it...lol

It must be hard to be proud and a part of something that is phony.

Always great to see @pgammo at the ballpark. He just told me Russell Wilson was bragging he once stole a base off Buster Posey in college.

Bro. I don't care if you can scramble around a football field, beat the Niners, win a Superbowl, and then go to the Rangers spring training, BUT KEEP BUSTER'S NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!

He finds it fascinating how the few failed substance tests in 2013 has effected your inability to hang out over the last two decades. Maybe there is a time vortex at work, we must inform the council.

He says there have been more then a few since Chete Carrol arrived. But he gets your point.

You're alright Braun. You're alright.

Nah, not hard at all, cuz the twelves are very real.
Just ask Christine Michael, Red Bryant and Michael Bennett who have experienced both the collegiate and pro versions (and seem proud of both)

Seems like the licensing agreement has been a win-win so far but, due to the Hawks recent success, the price may be going up . . . DallasNews.com

"Not only does Seattle acknowledge that Texas A&M is the owner, it gave us the ability to say within the NFL … we are the owners and we've licensed the team that right. I believe it helps us in protecting the mark."

A&M and the Seahawks talk often and are already in discussions about the future of the agreement, according to Hinckley.

The royalty is subject to renegotiation after this contractual period, "in response to economic factors such as the cost of living, changed market conditions or similar market factors," the current contract reads.

Also expected to be discussed, according to Hinckley, are issues that weren't commonplace in 2006, such as the use of Twitter and Instagram, among other updates.

:::

A&M representatives typically take at least one trip to a Seahawks game a year — and it's not to ooh and aah over star quarterback Russell Wilson."We go as kind of a mystery shopper, so to speak, and enforce it up there quite a bit," Hinckley said. "They've been a good partner."

The 'Twelves' are not 'real'. It is a group of people who happen to attend games to cheer for a team of cheaters who happen to play in a stadium that was designed to be loud, and nothing more.


You aren't part of the game, you don't put on a uniform, the millionaire players on the Seahawks don't know you and don't give a damn (other than the home field advantage artificially inflating their stats) and none of the rest of the educated universe can wait until you fade back into the rain-soaked obscurity from which you crawled.

Actually, just finally drying out . . .
Seattle has had more rain the first few days of March than it normally records in the entire month ;-)

The twelves are just as real (and rabid) as any other fan base. Are they actually part of the team? No. Do the players personally know every fan? No. But, they take every opportunity to thank the fans for their support (as I assume most players of every team do, because without the fans, there would be no teams).

As for the the noise only being a HFA . . . ask Peyton about that ;-)

This is pretty funny but you contradict yourself. If the 12th man isn't real then why would we have any home field advantage? Fact is the 12th man does have an impact on the game if we didn't then Niner fans wouldn't have wrote into a news paper complaining that their team couldn't hear so the game wasn't fair.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/23721252/er-fans-write-to-newspaper-complaining-about-seahawks-loud-stadium

As for artificial or a stadium design, you've been proven wrong multiple time. The super bowl should be enough evidence but if not then go read about the king dome which was also known as one of if not the loudest home fields all the way back to the 80's.

Oh and the Aggies didn't invent anything. They stole/borrowed the 12th man saying from others who are on record as using it long before they did. Minnesota was using it (in the same format as Seattle) in 1906. The Aggies only trade marked it to cash in on Seattle's success. It was nothing more than a marketing ploy, We actually retired the 12th man jersey before the current stadium or the Aggies had trade marked the phrase They never said a peep about the phrase until Seattle was going to the super bowl in 2005 when they sued.

Consider what the saying was worth before Seattle built up it's reputation. If not for Seattle and the true 12th man the phrase would still be worth absolutely nothing and the fact is most of the people that are familiar with the phrase recognize it as the Seahawks fan base not the Aggies or any other team.

But hey if it helps you sleep at night believing the 12's are not real or have no impact on the game then great but don't read the link I provided. It won't help you.

Can't wait to beat this prick three times next season.
I'm thinkin Sunday night'r @ Sea, Monday night'r in SF and a Sun afternoon'r in SF for the frickin Championship.

but his hat will be sideways or backwards, therefore Wilson is still the better person.

In Russell's defense, Kaep clearly needs more work. Hope he's throwing a lot of fade routes.

Uhh, no. Russell does do one thing better - he lobs rainbows and prayers, which his receivers somehow manage to catch at least once per game. Kap doesn't do that. Other than that, Russell needs as much work as Kap.

LOL @ "The 12th Man" and now "Twelves." That has to be the corniest thing in all of sports.

I'm sure Seahawk fans will just chalk that up as a Niner fan hating on them, but, unlike most Niners fans, your team doesn't mean much to me. I dislike Cowboys and raiders fans, but you guys are still too new for me to care all that much. The "Twelves" is just corny.
