Navy Football 12th Man

[CoolaidWade]

I didn't even know they had a 12th man..... They are a exact copy of ours. The student body is calling themselves the 12th man and they have a regular student from the student body on the kickoff/return teams. They even wear the #12 to show that that player is the 12th man.

There is really no denying that that is just a blatent ripoff. I love Navy Football but why is everyone all of a sudden taking one of our traditions and making it their own??

:mad: We didn't protect it and now it's too common to defend

yeah, i cant stand it when announcers of other college games and nfl games (have heard it a lot on sunday's) say the 12th man is effecting the game, doing their part, what ever.

we did and got what..... $25,000 from seattle, and they can still use 12th man? what a job gates and byrne did to defend it.

Not well enough over the years, aparently.

Hear about the basketball 6th man a lot too.
