The 12thgame man is known far and wide. Many claim that title. Lets look shall we. When a player drops a pass, and the crowd goes aaaahhhh. Who is the loudest? When fans bring up things like the heck of a game an graduated player had that sunday, who's the loudest? Why? Coaches and fans? I remember when my kids were young, i did so many aaaaaahhhhh's and whoops and hooray's. Then again what do i know half the time i find myself sitting in the wrong car.
 






I think you have to sell out every home game and have at least 90K seats in your stadium, to claim any 12th man prize.
 


sleep walking again?

You ask former players of other teams which stadium did they hate playing in the most and a lot of them mention Kinnick due to the crowd noise and how close the sideline is to the crown. I have heard many say it feels like the crowd is sitting on top of you.
 


Look at who has worn the number 12 at Iowa and you will have your answer, olddude. Excellent post, BTW. Hard hitting.

lil ole iowa might just have something most dont. I talk a ton of college ball and i have noticed on thurs, sun and mon, we are still fans that far exceed any other fans i have come across. Nice to have people in your corner for so long and thru it all.

Iowa's 12th man tradition where they just take a guy out of the stands and give him the number 12 is probably my favorite tradition that Iowa has. Mark Vlasic and Ricky Stanzi were two such men who wore 12 and both went on to star at QB for the Kansas City Chiefs. It's nice to see kids get that opportunity. GO HAWKS!!!!

while we may not seat 100000, i would like to think quality is more important. Kinnick is not the biggest, but it is a nice village. It takes a village ....

If our seat sizes were as small as Michigan's we could squeeze 100k into the stadium. Easily. Quality.

Do you remember the 2009 season? Our stadium was plenty big back then. Still is. GO HAWKS.
 


The "12th man" first originated at the University of Iowa. Texas A&M may claim it, but it started at the University of Iowa. Use it when you need it.
 






Bag it, olddude. The schtick's worn thin and it's not cute anymore.
you can stow it. Just because i see it different than you, does not mean i asked for your opinion. Let me guess if a movement started for a black out of all #12 jerseys, you would be the one to not do it. Heck maybe you dont deserve a #12. Maybe you are a 13. Or you would wear one claiming you have always been a 12. Deep down inside you know your not. Just another pretender in a cheap suit. Man it must be tiring to live a life chasing band wagons.
 


I think A&M actually has it trademarked. Sorry.

Bastages.

Hmm, the one above looks like maybe they might be brewing something for next season's NCAA football game given the publication date of 10/22/2013.
