Just some good bull to pass along.
MOELLER CLOSES IN ON 12TH MAN STARTS RECORD
Senior Sam Moeller (San Antonio, Texas /Antonian Prep) is slated to make his 31st consecutive 12th Man start against Mississippi State, which would give him sole possession of the school record for 12th Man starts at Texas A&M. Moeller is currently tied with Nick Lamantia, who also had 30 starts from 2006-08.
• The 12th Man Kickoff Team tradition was started in 1982 by then-head coach Jackie Sherrill after being inspired by watching students build the famous Aggie Bonfire. “I knew that I could find, out of 40-some-odd thousand students, 11 guys that would cover kickoffs, but have no regard for their body and be tough as nails,” Sherrill said. (Source: MyAggieNation.com) Beginning in 1991, a single 12th Man was chosen to represent the study body on the kickoff unit.
