went to Cheyenne a few weeks back, and to San Antonio PBR this weekend.SighsThis cowboy fan is going to have to stop going to PBR Built Ford Tough events. With the corporate party line pushing coaches and helmets and mainstream sports figures through the mouthpieces of their blog, their announcers and their video trailers, it's just not a cowboy sport anymore.I go for the cowboys. So, as the year

I'm a bullriding girl. I admit it. I love the bull athletes, and I love the way bullriders stand, like they own the world.I've been a PBR girl now for years. Too bad they're losing me.Every time I read their blog, they're tooting their own horn. "We need ESPYs, we make more money than any rodeo"Well yay. I mean, I know it's not the riders doing this. It's the CEO, the directors, the marketing

It's almost small rodeo season, y'all! Man, I can't wait, as this year we'll mostly be home for June and July, save for Cheyenne.Following the PBR is getting to be a little grumpy making. I'm not a fan of either of the little boys from North Carolina, mainly due to their lack of professionalism. You're still in your uniform and cussing out a waitress who has done nothing but be nice to you? Still

Hey y'all!Yeah, we were down a while, and weren't sure how to fix it. Now we know, so the cowgirl up blog is back in business.We headed off this past weekend to Albuquerque to see the Ty Murray invitational Built Ford Tough PBR event.So. Here we have the good, the bad, and the ugly.We're all about experiencing our personal joy in the CGU household, so I'll start with the good. The fan club seats

Okay, so Nashville was awesomeJustin won. Ryan Dirteater made an amazing showing. Guilherme rallied to come in third and take back his points.I love Nashville for the music, and the quirky shops and the neat architecture. At the risk of sounding like everyone else, I wasn't fond of the hotel (we have food allergies, and there was nothing to eat on their very limited menu), though the staff were

I'm sure S will want to blog on this event, too, as it bordered on the surreal, mostly in the best possible way.How about I hit the highlights for me as a fan?Chris Shivers and Mike White both won a go 'round, and both placed in the top five for the event.Mike Lee won the event, which is cool, as he's a Texas boyWe had the best seats ever, right behind Adriano's wife, which meant we got lots of

Though it ties in to cowboys, my business partner is a huge George Strait fan. I am, too, but Shawn reaches obsessive levels. How obsessive you ask? She has 229 George Strait songs on her I Tunes. That's 11.9 hours of George, without ever hearing the same song twice.O.OWe went to see him this winter, right here in Austin. It was better than chocolate. Better than good sex.

Oh, man. The joy.The cowboys.The bulls.LJ Jenkins did a good job. Guilherme is a doll baby. Chris Shivers is hot with stubble. Mike White does the bump. Adriano's butt is *fine*. We're praying for Shorty.Frank Newsome's wife? *So* pretty and a dear, neat woman with great taste in shoes. ;-)

We went to Houston on opening night. I won't go on and on about Tim McGraw or rude Yankees here (one was fab, the latter were horrible). Instead I'll say how damned fine the Houston Livestock show is. The rodeo is well-organized, has big names, and flow smoothly. I think the arena is just a bit too big to see everything well, even at the 50 yard line, but the big screen is very nice, clear and

The PBR is starting to feel like professional wrestling...JW Hart in the booth rocks my world.NBC coverage sucks hairy donkey balls - hello? We didn't get to see Adriano ride. We didn't get to see JB Mauney buck off.I have been a Nick Landreneau fan for a couple years. Go him!

So, Vegas was a *blast*!I'm still tickled. I got a picture with Cord McCoy, Austin Meier, Greg Potter.Hell, I had someone propose to me - he liked the idea of PBR girls. The fanzone was, just like always, a huge hoot - cowboys, mechanical bulls, western clothes, hats, cowboys, music, booze, cowboys.Did I mention the cowboys?Uhn.

The PBR Champion is Justin McBride. Woo. I feel kind bad for Guilherme coming in 2nd 3 years in a row, but he looked pretty happy, pretty settled about it, and Justin really worked this season. I'm betting on Guilherme next year, as he's simply the most consistent rider around.But this year is all about Justin McBride. 8 regular season wins. Tons of 90+ rides. He bucked off his first three bulls

So, Shawn and I went to Vegas for the first weekend of the PBR finals.We stayed at the Mandalay Bay, where the event was being held, and let me tell you, that's the way to live. The room was nice, the food only so so this year, but the wandering cowboy sightings? Couldn't be beat.We went to the meet and greet on Saturday morning. Oh, yes, we did. There is still no greater joy than 45 bullriders,

Lorna and I wandered over to New Braunfels and watched the Discovery event. Things of note - Corey Navarre stands like a bullrider - Uhn. You can tell the ones that are BFT Tour guys. They're special. Bonner Bolton is still too damned pretty to be real. Jared Farley got dissed by the announcer (and he's a babydoll) and guys? It's Nick Landreneau. Lan-dre-neau. This isn't hard to pronounce. Trust

not just bullriding, because at least we get that on TV. But the local rodeo season is pretty much over until the stock show season starts in the late winter months. Thank God for Texas, where 4 of the biggest winter stock shows reside. We'll hit Ft Worth and Houston, and then Austin in March. San Antonio has too many season seat holders for us to get decent seats there, so we usually skip

Went to Wimberley TX on Saturday for the VFW Rodeo PBR Challenger event.The weather stayed good, we ate at the Salt Lick before we went, and we had a great bunch of riders to watch. Cord McCoy was there, along witrh Guilherme Marchi and Gerardo Venagas, who I haven't seen enough of this year!We got to see James the pick up man, who we adore, and there were some great rides.McKennon Wimberly won

oh my God, yall!We headed over to Dallas on Saturday, and man did we stay where the cowboys were! Just at the hotel we spotted Tater Porter, Flint and the bullfighters, Jared Farley, Sean Willingham, Ty Murray, my favorite boy, Mike White, Kasey Hayes and a host of others. Why yes, we were some of the folks who sat in the lobby and watched them come and go. (No, we weren't the only ones, so there

Dude.Rain.Rainrainrainrainrain.Lorna and I were so soaked we couldn't even make it through to the short-go. Bad things: Hypothermia. Rain. People whacking us with umbrellas. Bitchy little girls who were scared of getting wet.Good things: James the pickup man (uhn). Paolo Crimber in nothing but jeans, shirt and a lot of mud. Greg Potter sans chaps. The sheer willingness to entertain from the whole

Argh because I can't find my Lorna Login. Please excuse the confusing pseudonymAnd San Antonio rocked!It was a one day event, held at the Alamodome.One round of regular riding. One 15 rider short go.All of our boys but Cord McCoy rode in round one. None of them did very well in the short go. Justin looked good though, and so did Mike White and Chris Shivers, who just make this girl a happy

Man, there have been some thrills and spills, some familiar faces in the winner's circle and some familiar faces that are still recovering.Chris Shivers needs to let that leg heal and we keep praying for Mike White to get one injury-free season. Last week we cried for McKennon and that poor ankle and man, didn't the bullfighters go flying?Justin is still on top and we're rooting away.Lorna and I

He won Omaha. His fifth in this very young season. Lord love him, I hope he stays healthy, because he's my boy, and I'd love to see him win in San Antonio or Dallas, when we go see the tour...That Chris Shivers needs to stay of f his head and his bad leg and get back in the race, too!

Man, I do love me some close-to-the-bucking-chutes seats!Cowboys, cowboys, and cowboys.Is there a better exercise on earth than bareback calesthenics?Last night was another visit to the Star of Texas Rodeo - the team ropers were having troubles, but the bullriders were rocking it. There were a couple of bulls that looked like PBR-wannabes and one was on the PBR tour last year (the bull's name

Went to the Star of Texas last night. Had a ball. I have the go round results somewhere, and will put them up when I remember.Got hotels for PBR in San Antonio and Dallas, in May and June respectively.Of other note, our thoughts and good wishes are with Lee Akin and his family. Lee was injured badly during a PRCA event, with a bull hitting his head and causing some serious damage. Cowgirl Up

So, we put on our boots and headed down to Houston on Tuesday, February 27 for the opening night of Rodeo Houston. We wandered the trade and stock show, ate some of the spiciest smoked sausage in the world, admired the sparkly pink hats, and then went to watch some rodeo action.They started with the tie down roping (which just threw off my whole rhythm, don't you know). Here were the one night

Matt Bohon stole the show last night in St. Louis - covering all four bulls and taking the event with a 89+ point ride. Looking good, cowboy.Greg Potter made a $5000 "Ride with the Best" ride. Jason Bennett's doing fine and Brendon Clark cut a solid swath in the Show Me state.For me, though? The two most memorable moments featured two of the old guard - JW Hart and Mike White. It felt so good to

Gotta love it when the underdog takes it!Clayton Williams (another Texas boy!) just worked it and worked it, riding for $215,000 and covering all four bulls, beating out JB Mauney and Kasey Hayes.Justin had a bad weekend and Guilherme's slump lengthened. And, man, Austin Meier seems like he's fighting to take over JW Hart's Ironman title. Damn.If you stayed around for the bull fighting on Versus,

Way to go, Greg Potter, for winning Anaheim for the third time in 4 years!
