    So you want to be a rodeo athlete…words from some Gold Buckles

    When we are children we dream of being doctors, lawyers, cowboys, astronauts, etc.  We find ways to play those roles with our friends. Costumes are always a part of the fun.

  • Wait…what just happened?

  • The Rodeo Gods Were Smiling On Me- Day 2

    Day 1 was behind me. After a great night’s sleep I woke up in the funnest city in America well rested and ready to hit the strip. I was still faced with trying to figure out where to go and when to be there. This was my first full day in Las Vegas. I started…

  • On Being a Fan in the Fight For Champions

    There is no dream too big. We should all believe this, spread it to our children, and exemplify it ourselves. Every now and again I read something that reaffirms this mantra. While in Twitterland I met a young lady whose profile boasts that she wants to ride bulls in the PBR. Most certainly not something…
