PRCA Rodeo

Yes, professional rodeo is definitely considered "a sport". There wasn't a dedicated thread, so I wanted to start one. I'm currently watching the Calgary Stampede in Canada on The Cowboy Channel. This is one of the largest outdoor professional rodeos there is. A couple of other major rodeos are: Cheyenne Frontier Days and Pendelton Roundup. Like both of these rodeos I just mentioned, all of the Top 15 cowboys and cowgirls are in Calgary. The money to be won is extremely good.
 
Glad to see you starting a rodeo thread. Not that anybody on here really cares, but I like to see other members sharing their passions, even if response is paltry.

Since you stated PRCA, I will only talk about bull riding happening at those events. I haven't watched the Calgary Stampede, in last few years, but certainly enjoyed seeing it in person many years ago. The PBR team bull riding is starting on the 11th, but I will keep it on the mum since no one cares, not even on the ranching forum.

I see our orthopedic clinic is again sponsoring a steer wrestler in PRCA. I forget his name, but I will try to remember it, when I visit the foot doc later this month. Is Jess Brown still steer wrestling this year? I have known him since he was in diapers and loved wrestling down the family dog. The dog seemed to enjoy it. I don't think he made the finals last year.

An Orthopedic Clinic sponsoring Steer Wrestling?
There's a joke in there somewhere.

No joke! One of the Orthopedic doctors is an ex pro rodeo performer and then pro rodeo physician. The biggest sports fans I know are Orthopedic doctors. The highest number of sports injuries in my area, happen in High School football. Our Orthopedic clinic has two doctors that are titled Sports Medicine. "If you don't break em, we can't fix em." That was my idea for their slogan, but it was quickly rejected. :ROFLMAO:

Hey @Cody Fousnough Here is one of my cowboy poems, I wrote for the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) rodeo, the Pendleton Roundup with their moto, "Let er Buck."


Let Er Buck
by Faye

Old cowboys never die, they just run out of luck
So enjoy the ride and Let Er Buck
Come on over and see what we do
It's a low down hoe down, Eastern Oregon Buckeroo

It's rodeo time, out here in the east
Where man steps up, to ride the bucking beast
Cowboys and Indians, do what they like to do
It's low down on the ground, Eastern Oregon Buckeroo

Cowboys, Indians, and Hippies, are looking mighty dapper
Rough stock is unloaded, it's going to be a zapper
Many a Cowboy will soon, be all black and blue
It's low down on the ground, Eastern Oregon Buckeroo

Young ladies rounding barrels, toppling some they graze
Ropers raising dust, lariats swinging in a haze
Smoke rising from the pit, cooking brisket BBQ
It's low down to the ground, Eastern Oregon Buckeroo

Hot dogs, hamburgers, tap beer, all at least a ten dollar bill
Long lines, port a potty waiting, their turn to take a spill
Never mind the dust, the burn of sun, just do what you do
It's low down to the ground, Eastern Oregon Buckeroo

So get out of town, come on down, enjoy what we do
It's a low down, hoe down, Eastern Oregon Buckeroo
