I don't expect this to ever come out, but my guess is this was originally intended to honor the 12 dead bonfire students.


The more I think about it, the more certain I become of this. Should have run with that idea instead of this hackneyed, forced substitute reason.

HEAR YE HEAR YE:

The #HNIC hath changed his stance on the issue at hand. Given the clarification that the 12 empty seats have nothing to do with the 12 we lost at Bonfire (which would have been a fitting tribute IMO), and are instead being used as a weak comeback to the stadium feature that is Seattle's #12 flagpole in their stadium, I hereby reject the proposal out of hand and throw my support behind TelcoAg's petition.

My guess is, they sold the idea based on Bonfire. Months later, at least one of the victim's families raised an objection. Now they're stuck.

I totally understand the objection from the family as well. A&M using your kids memory to pitch the football brand seems a bit vile, tbh.
