So, what is going to be the outcome of this travesty? What was the line judge thinking? With all of America watching and numerous replays, it was the wrong call and a talented calf roper is denied the $50k. Incredible!!

The PRCA does not have instant replay so all the replays on TV or social media do not count. I think the judges need to be held resposnible for their bad calls, but they'll never go back and give him the 50K. 

I thought there were lots of bad calls through out Houston. There needs to be instant replay, especially at the bigger rodeos, but I'm not sure it'll ever happen. 

There's a go fund me for the kid. The goal is to get 50k for him to use to rodeo this summer and maybe make NFR. IPRA announced today they will be using replays for challenged calls.

I missed it, what exactly happened?

Looks like Beau Cooper got 10 stuck on his time when pretty clearly the barrier rope wasn't on the calf's neck when Beau left the box.

You can google a picture of it.  I can't watch calf roping any more.  My husband was a calf roper and back then I was oblivioius, but at least two were badly injured or killed in the last few rodeos I watched on the Cowboy Channel.   Different story than the tough Mexican steers.

Starched podcast had Beau Cooper on. It's worth a listen, he has a great atttitude about Houston. 

He was also going to donate the GoFundMe money to a cowboy that had UTV accident.  He sounds like a super person.
