Copycat fans

Looks like Pittsburgh-area native Dusty Drake stepped on some East-Central Texas toes with "The 12th Man Song" about the Pittsburgh Steelers, who will face the Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl next Sunday.

The song is very corny, and Steelers fans need to stay away from the 12th Man Tradition, which is very much a tradition in College Station. Stick with your Terrible Towels, Steeler fans.

Ironically, it was the Seattle Seahawks - Pittsburgh's opponent in the Super Bowl three years ago - that tried to duplicate A&M's 12th Man tradition.
