- A number of football teams have tried making their claims to the ’12th Man,’ but where does the term come from and how has it changed over time? In the first episode of ‘Traditions,’ we explore how Texas A&M is to credit for the phrase taking off and how the Aggies have fought off other teams who tried applying it to their fanbases.

I don’t know if this is in the video because I haven’t watched it yet but the home of the 12th man saying came from a game because they were playing and there’s only 11 people on the team so one guy randomly just started to run out on the field and play with them and that’s where the 12th man saying came from so that goes 12 man
Did you play a game of telephone for this?
Our team had gotten quite a lot of injuries against another team, and if you get to a team of less than 11 men, you have to forfeit. So our coach, Dana X. Bible, called E. King Gill out of the press box and put him on the sidelines in case we ran out of men. E. King Gill used to be on the football team, but left for basketball. Gill didn’t end up playing that day, but he cemented himself as the 12th man.
I am surprised that someone hasn't sued yet and make them rename it "Home of the 12th PERSON" lol
Racial slurs? Tell me please what they are? Texas Monthly which says they are "a breath away from the University of Texas" has never treated TAMU fairly. I give no ne credence to anything they publish.
Yes, it involved not just one song but 2. The garbage has been taken out though. Mission accomplished.
What IS the scheme/intent/strategy for selecting an entrance tune which is laced with profanity plus numerous racial slurs? What was A&M thinking?
What are you talking about?
@@brandonmason3311 As a season ticket holder, I have never heard any profanity laced entrance tune with racial slurs. Yes, I have heard the Kanye West tune for years. I get to the games early : )
@@brandonmason3311 Yes, the goal is clear. Profanity and racism have no place at A&M. Also, there is no need for name calling. The team entrance song for Kyle Field (POWER~Kayne West) is so profane and racist, a second more socially palatable version was created for public consumption apparently. Why was that done? Do we know which version is in use? Should this artist be supported by TAMU? Should either version be associated with Texas A&M? Just asking..
@@brandonmason3311 Why not answer my question?
@@Dodgevair How is it racist?
