CHL whether the coach knew about U of I or not and regardless of your supposed code of conduct the reference is posted and out there dated 1912 referencing a game in I believe 1903. Irrefutable proof that the claim you made and that of the Aggies is false!
I know this because when the lawsuit happened ( you know the one that the Aggies actually settled when Seattle showed they didn't create the term only trademarked it) it was proven to have been created by a U of I writer.
Do yourself a favor, Google University of Iowa and 12th man. Lots of irrefutable proof the Aggies didn't start it.
