For team names, you can't overlook the Paladins of Furman (anyone remember "Have Gun Will Travel"?)

I remember it. Richard Boone was the good guy in that TV series. Later on, he was the bad guy in one of my favorite westerns and that was Hombre with Paul Newman. I judge whether a movie is good or bad by whether I can remember lines from it. I remember Boone had a line where he said to Paul Newman "you've got some hard bark on you mister," as Newman's character descends a staircase to rescue the fair maiden and gets in a gunfight with Boone and his Mexican pistolero. Of course, Newman the hero, prevails in the gunfight, but is killed himself. As the pistolero is dying, he says, "Who was that hombre?" This was a tale by Elmore Leonard.

One of the college teams here in Arkansas is named the Muleriders. Why you would want to contribute to everyone's notion of people in Arkansas being toothless hillbillies out of the movie Deliverance, I do not know, but I think the school was founded around the beginning of the 20th century and probably at that time, there were a lot of people around the country using mules as a means of conveyance.

Actually, there are several stakes, but not many are graded. I mentioned Laurel in an earlier post because Digger took us there once. I did not play that day because I had no clue about any of those races which happens occasionally. Seemed better not to play to me so I didn't.
