| Not Bubba again lol....
I dont even know who it is...but everyone else seems to!
I think Sara Rose or Callie might have this one in the bag when it comes down to the average. Both would be fine by me. |

Location: Texas | FlyingHigh1454 - 2015-12-10 9:03 AM Louie has been on fire this week, he barely touched that barrel last night and that was heartbreaking how long it took to fall (I think she was turning 2nd by the time it hit the ground). I think she is going to pull it together and rebound from it, and keep placing in the go rounds. Sarah Rose and Bling are breathing down her neck though, but with a horse like Bling (SUPER push style), all Sarah would have to do is let up .01 second too early and she's going to crash into one of those barrels. It's going to be interesting to see if Bling keeps up these consistent runs or if she starts shutting down like a few of the others did tonight. Callie and Dillon are just a great team, this week is probably the best I've seen Dillon run in the T&M in a long time. Isn't the last time he ran in the t&m when he set the arena record?
I just looked it up and the arena record was 2011 but he still had some great runs in 2012 and even ran the fastest time of the week that year

Yea, in 2011 with Carlee. It was 13.4 which isn't the arena record anymore (Bo) but he hasn't run that fast with Callie yet. |

Thats what I was thinking, he looks good, but it looks like Callie has been making "safer" runs on him, which may pay off for her if she gets the world title! |

Very true. I like how you can see her gain confidence as the nights go on, too. |

Location: somewhere up north | rodeomom3 - 2015-12-10 8:52 AM There are so many I am cheering for but I hope this is Louie's year. I know being able to be consistent and run 10 clean runs in that pen on that dirt is amazing but I almost wish they would do away with the average, put that $$ to go round payout, so a down barrel, especially due to bad ground, does not take you out of the race for the title.
Agree!! |

True, but I believe hit some too. This the longest he's run without hitting, I think. |

This is by far Dillon's most successful year in terms of clean runs. In 2008 he hit barrels in 4 rounds and placed in 5 (1 - 3rd, 1- 4th, 2- 5th, 1- 6th). In 2011 there were 6 rounds with downed barrels, but when he did leave them up he placed (2- 1st, 2- 4th). In 2012 he had 5 rounds with down barrels and placed when he didn't hit (2-1st, 3-2nd). Dillon has never gotten an average check in his previous NFR appearances. |

Me too! I love them and want them to win this year. I have so many favorites, but just knew this was their year. I know it isn't over yet, but it is really tearing me up. I have my company Christmas party the night of the finals. I'm going to have to leave early and watch it on my phone on my way home! |

I think they still have a good chance! He is getting faster and as long as they can keep barrels up she'll be taking it home!!
That tipped barrel last night killed me! From what it looked like at 4:30 this morning, he just nicked it! |
