And The Winner Is ...
The "Battling Bloggers of the Texas Republic"!
That's the name that our team we'll be running under on March 1-2, 2008 in the Texas Independence Relay when we do battle against Bill Dwyer's "Texian Road Warriors" as part of TIR's Texas Tough Throwdown.
Congratulations and thanks to James David Dykas as he offered up the following list of worthy names for us to choose from:
NAME: The Ravens
WHY: We're all from the "Houston" area and "The Raven" was Sam Houston's nickname.
NAME: Battling Sam or Battling Sams
WHY: More homage to Sam Houston
NAME: Deaf Smith
WHY: Smith was one of Sam Houston's most reliable and most trusted scouts and destroyed Vince's Bridge, thus blocking any escape routes from the site of the battle at San Jacinto (This is kind of quirky and people would have to ask - always a good thing)
NAME: Revolution 12
WHY: Uh, there are twelve of us.
NAME: Battling Bloggers of the Texas Republic
WHY: Because we can.
Karen Felicidario, who will be making her marathon debut in January at the Chevron Houston Marathon, offered up a couple of suggestions in "Bloggers For The Run Of It" and "The Apostles".
While it was suggested immediately, and rightfully so, that perhaps we should step away from the "Houston Running Bloggers" as that is in the past; however, Sarah added that "...I lean towards Battling Bloggers. It pays tribute to how we all met, and I think that's important."
I agree.
