	SI.com - SI On Campus - The Real Twelfth Man - Friday February 3, 2006 12:41PM
		The 12th Man was officially born in 1922 when the Aggies were locked in a tough battle on the gridiron with Centre College.
		Recently however, the Seattle Seahawks have touted their own "12th Man" as one of the main reasons they were able to make it to Detroit to play the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it has irked Texas AandM and its fans.
		To AandM fans everywhere, Seattle's 12th Man claim is a slap in the face.

	12th Man (football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 12th man is a term commonly used to describe the fans within a stadium during American football or association football games.
		In the 1980s, Jackie Sherrill created the "12th Man Kickoff Team" composed of regular students who tried out for the team instead of players who were recruited, as is the normal practice in college football.
		Since the early 80's Seahawks fans have often referred to themselves as the "12th man" and as a tribute to their fans the Seahawks retired the number 12 during a game on December 15, 1984.

	The Hindu Business Line : Enough of being the twelfth man
		Twelfth man in cricket is "a punishment for not making the team," explains a dictionary of cricketing terms on www.cricketman.com.
		In cricket, the twelfth man seems to have broken free from the historic taboos.
		Thus, now the 12th man "can also bat, bowl and field if his captain feels he will fare better than any of the 11 players originally picked in the team." Once the 12th man replaces a player in the XI, the outgoing player can no longer take part in that match.

	analyst: T Third man - Twelfth man
		Third man – a fielder on the boundary behind the slips.
		Twelfth man – the player who wasn't selected in the final eleven but who can act as substitute fielder if another is incapacitated.
		Often the official 12th man is allowed home (or to play for his county) and a spritely youngster is brought in to run errands and do the substitute fielding.
