Votes are registered and averaged to determine the winner of the annual Cocky award . Sunday’s favorite appeared to be Budweiser’s “Brotherhood,” which shows the reunion of Courtesy of USC Athletics one of the beer company’s famous Clydesdale Athletics is considering building a plaza outside Williams-Brice Stadium and an indoor football practice facility. horses and the man who raised it.
