Sports http://nfrfinalsrodeo.blogdrive.com/archive/7.html Thu, 20 Dec 2007 22:40:50 GMT Knowing Taos Muncy, his 2007 saddle bronc riding world championship might never sink in. Just like he said his College National Finals Rodeo win in June wouldn't sink in. Just like he said his Cheyenne Frontier Days win in July wouldn't sink in. "It's kinda unreal, just like all the rest of 'em," Muncy said on Saturday after clinching the gold buckle at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. "You hope for it, you expect it sometimes � you know, you always have your goals � but I never seen it comin' this fast. It's real shocking to actually do well here." "Do well"...

The 21-year-old Powell Butte cowboy, who didn't break into the top 100 headers in 2006, spent much of this year as the No. 1 team roper in the land.He was partnered with his father, former world team roping champion Mike Beers, and it seemed as though the father-and-son duo couldn't strike out. After a big-money win at the famous RodeoHouston in March that catapulted the team to the top of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys...

For 33 years, the event in Saginaw, just north of Fort Worth, has featured some of the world's best horses and team ropers, tie-down ropers and steer ropers. This year is no exception, but there will be a change in the format that promoters say will bring new excitement to tie-down roping. The event will feature Xtreme Elapsed Time Championship tie-down roping matches, which pits two ropers leaving side-by-side boxes, drag-racing style. The rules are the same – rope the calf, dismount,...

I've learned to say that we're always in rodeo season though there are rare times that rodeo activities are less intense. When a person opts to participate at the top level of rodeos and horse shows, there will be little or no rest. For example, the first Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association events were in the first week of January and the National Finals Rodeo ends Dec. 9. The season for Professional Bull Riders' top series began Nov. 18 and ends Nov. 5. The National Cutting Horse Association circuit also goes...

Now, two brothers from central South Dakota are making strides in the sport and have become icons in the steer wrestling event. Todd and Randy Suhn were born in Ree Heights and began their rodeo careers as kids in Highmore. Both have won amateur and professional championship titles throughout the central, Randy Suhn, 30, joined the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association in 1997. He has qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo three times and has five qualifications for the Pace...

The 28-year-old from Brooks goes into the Canadian Finals Rodeo starting tomorrow with a lot of kilometres under his belt and a fair bit of money in his pockets. Bowers, the 2003 Canadian bareback champion, went hard on both sides of the border and qualified for both the CFR, with a total prize purse of $1 million Cdn, and the National Finals Rodeo, with prize money of over $5 million US, next month in Las Vegas. SECOND IN THE WORLD Bowers entered the maximum 100 rodeos...

Dallas is more fast-paced, Fort Worth is more down-home. And so on. A common thread unites the two: big-time pro rodeo. However, the rodeos are as different as the cities in many respects. Cowtown offers one of the more traditional big-time rodeos: the Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show Rodeo, which will conduct its 110th edition in 2006. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association show runs Jan. 20-Feb. 6 at Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum. Dallas offers a rodeo that's... (more) http://nfrfinalsrodeo.blogdrive.com/comments?id=1
