In spite of the barbs from ExLexFan, I'm gonna hang with South Aiken. I've already gone on record with them, so I can't switch horses now! Plus, I like their coach (almost as much as that Hanna guy), and they are a fellow Region 4 team.

GO THOROUGHBREDS, KICK SOME MAVERICK BOOTY!!!!!

R1C, how can you root for this team? The following definition is from their website:

What is a Maverick?

adjective : independent in behavior or thought;
"she led a somewhat irregular private life"; "maverick politicians"
[syn: irregular, unorthodox]

noun 1: someone who exhibits great independence in thought and action
[syn: rebel]

noun 2: unbranded range animal especially a stray calf


Nowhere in there does it say anything about a Longhorn steer, which is their symbol! For those of you that have no familiarity with cattle, there is a difference between a calf (as described in the definition), and a Longhorn steer. Because this is a public forum, let's just say that the steer is a male that will never be able to have a family.
