me (circa Super Bowl XL): What's with the flag? What could this possibly be the twelfth anniversary of?
The brief history of a term:
Did you know that not only do the Seahawks apparently have fans (and lots of them, and loud ones), but the franchise has actually been sued by Texas A&M over the use of a term apparently inspired by a Disney movie?
I have to say, though, there's something pretty bad ass (or, at least, theoretically satisfying) about a professional sport in which the flailing of the crowd actually does have an effect on the game, even if it is an artificially enhanced, branding/marketing version of a spontaneous tradition.
(and, actually, that Aggies story almost made me cry...)
