Former UW athletic director Scott Woodward introduced at Texas A&M, takes shot at ’12th Man’ Seahawks fans

Scott Woodward, during his introduction at Texas A&M, says, "What makes a university great are its people, the 12th Man, the real 12th Man — not the one ripped off in Seattle."

In the process of endearing himself to his new fanbase at Texas A&M, Scott Woodward may have irked a few old friends in Seattle.

Woodward, Washington’s athletic director since 2008, was introduced as the new AD in College Station, Texas, on Monday and included a little shot at the Seattle Seahawks during his press conference.

“What makes a university great are its people, the 12th Man, the real 12th Man — not the one ripped off in Seattle,” Woodward said.
