Mr. Foreman needs to get his facts straight before accusing others of not knowing a tradition. First of all, the Twelfth Man is reserved only for students. If you will recall, the tradition started when a student was called upon to suit up and be ready to enter the game if needed. Only students would be allowed to play for our team, so technically only students can be part of the Twelfth Man.
As for your second mistake, Elephant Walk is supposed to be before the last football game of the year, not the last home game, as students can still attend away games and are still needed as the Twelfth Man.
