i think the home team should get a penalty if the crowd makes too much noise.

The rule still exists.

Quote

Crowd noise fouls are the result of the visiting offensive team being unable to call their signals successfully. The process starts when the quarterback appeals to the referee to quiet the crowd. The referee stops play and announces that the crowd noise must cease in order for the game continue. If the crowd noise continues, the referee announces, once again, that if the noise does not cease, the home team will be charged with a timeout. If the noise continues, play is stopped and a timeout is charged. If the home team has no timeouts remaining, a five-yard penalty for delay of game is assessed. This process, however, is rarely seen in today's games because the quarterbacks know that they must get the snap off, regardless of how loud the crowd noise is. Quarterbacks in today's game snap on silent signals so that voice does not have to initiate the snap. Once the game is stopped for crowd noise, the noise usually gets louder; and, consequently, quarterbacks deal with the noise rather than appeal. This is the reason that Seattle is not penalized for crowd noise.

the reason they waited till now to do anything about the Seahawks using the 12th man thing, is because before the game last Sunday, no one outside of Seattle knew the seahawks were using it! the first thing I thought when I saw that flag raised was, " what the hell are they doing, stealing that slogan from A&M?!?!?!" there's gonna be some pissed off aggies!
The Aggies have been using it since 1922, when they had a student come out of the stands to help their injury depleated team... and they've had it trade marked, and copy righted for quite some time.
sorry seahawks.
oh and..... HOOK'EM HORNS! ( I don't even like the aggies! )

Seattle's porked...

They've made monetary offers to use the slogan, as well as having acknowledged that A&M has a trademark on it.

GIG EM....lmao!

Rumor has it that they're going to sue to get "12" removed from a dozen eggs, and try to sue anyone that uses the term "Bon Fire" as well...
