Pro Rodeo...Bullriding

[Cougar Allen]

Don't get excited, Ashes. They're talking about football. It's something people do when it's not baseball season....

 

[TNRat]

Ashes - Perhaps you did not notice the smilies all over the post through your rage filled eyes?!?!

= I am giving you a hard time back with no disrespect or offense meant.

 

[Cindy Denning]

Cindy, I had such a high respect for you before now. That was an extremely low blow.

Fig Newton, I mean Terry... I still adore yooou. Gimmie a kiss, gimmie a kiss. Ashes, I was talking about college football and this is the first major upset on the football field. We have never beaten Tennessee as long as I remember and always dreaded to see them come down here because we knew we wouldn't win. Cougar is right. We have a new head coach who is a redneck with a capital "R" but dang if he can't put the secret sauce on when the rival team shows up or we go out of town to play. Love ya Terry

how exciting would bullriding be if they didnt have the flank strap? I am sure I am not the only one to notice that the bull keeps bucking until the strap is released. Why do this? so the bull will buck in a predictable manner?

i dont really find bull riding too exciting but when i went to portugal back in the day with the fam and we went to watch bull fighting. that was very entertaining although it is messed up to stab the bulls with swords. my parents told me that the bulls cant ever die so i thought they werent getting hurt. i remember one guy getting really phucked up and had to get carried away on a stretcher.

A bucking strap makes the bull buck. The flank strap feels unnatural to the bull (and many horses) and will make them buck instead of rear.

I like watching bullriding, but have no great desire to try it...and I think they're nuts.
Chris LeDoux's "Hooked on an 8 second ride" starts playing in my head at the mention of it.
I'm hopefully changing job positions soon, and my new boss(and longtime buddy) was a bullrider. Couldn't get enough of it, but broken legs, arms, ribs, and wallet kind of put a damper on the romance of the whole thing.

In a couple of years, yall will have plenty to crow about, IMO.
People love to hate Spurrier-he's a winner. Seems like the SEC is in a slump, so some extra excitement is welcome...long as Bama keeps beating him
'Course we love to hate Fulmer more than anyone. We call him "The Great Pumpkin" around here

If you ever go to the rodeo, try to walk around the stock pens...
Stand next to a bull...
They are B I G.

I went to rodeos in Cheyenne, Denver, Leavenworth and some small local ones whose names I can't remember.
The local rodeos were the best, buy your ticket from the gal who did the trick riding, talk to the clowns.
Then again, this was all a long time ago and it may have changed.

But if you get the chance, go stand next to one of those Brahmas and think about getting on his back.

 

[TNRat]

think about getting on his back

I give you my word that when you are running one up in the trailer, and he swaps ends and decides to come back out, and you can move nowhere near as fast as one of those animals, it is just as much fun! Fun being a relative term, of course.

Bring it on Alabama! We didn't know what to think of him, we still don't but we are winning.

As far as cruelty to animals in the rodeo, it's pure bulls**t. (pun intended ) Those stock animals are treated better then the cowboys. Animal rights ass wipes want people to believe that it's cruel. Those bulls are bred and trained for what they do. Same as the horses.

yeah, unless its cruel to be pampered and well fed, with plenty of "ladies" around. Rodeo bulls have a good life, compared to a milk cow or a meat cow.

Of course the animal rights critters want people to believe that fishing is animal cruelty.
