XXXX Maroon

XXXX (4 eks) is the favorite beer in Queensland. Q: Why is it named XXXX? A: Because Queenslanders don't know how to spell beer.


And did you notice that the color of Queensland is maroon? This is deja vu all over again. The poor Texas Ags are grossly maligned and rally under the maroon flag too. The little guy wearing the straw hat is the XXXX mascot and XXXX is the local beer. Kind of like Shiner in Texas. Queenslanders are considered the hicks in Australia and they are fanatic about Rugby (thats what this banner is all about).

The Origins game between the "Maroons" and the "Blues" is at least as big as the turkey day game between Texas A&M and Texas. Obviously, as Queenslanders and Aggies, we are for the Maroons. Go Maroons! And don't forget to stop in at the local pub for a XXXX to get in the proper spirt :-)...
