Besides, I know you young lady and you just don't want a place to sleep, you want me to haul horses too! edited to add: And that was a bad hair day when that pic was taken.
You should get some face lotion or something...some sort of anti-aging cream perhaps.... |

| IMHO, The American is a giant futurity. I would like to see the figures on how much in entries are paid compared to the payout.
IMHO, somebody (and I have an idea of at least one of them) had a marketing idea feeding off of the growing popularity of the NFR and PBR and saw a marketing opportunity. It was started like any other business, to make money. |

Sorry, lady! You look like a dog caught you by the neck and played with you all day....maybe, get a scarf. |

| Hey, I am a little sensitive about that neck thing....
And if you were a good daughter, you would just GIVE me that ElScorcho/Coup de Cash filly and then you wouldn't have to be nervous and stressed for months about the sale. Win-win, don't you think? |

Location: Haslet, Texas | This just goes to show you that when the best on the world are forced to run on really bad ground it makes everybody look like an amateur. Many barrels would not have been hit if the horses knew the ground would hold them. It's a sad, sad NFR this year. You can see the smart horses running safe around the barrels, hell you can tell because of their times. How many times have you seen Sheri Cervi run above 14.1's.....????? |

Yes they are...sigh. Add to that I tend to speed read and lose some of the details. I had a Latin teacher that would high light instructions on her tests just for me and remind me to read them carefully. I was known to translate entire paragraphs when I just needed to give a short answer. Plus I was born VERY nearsighted. Contacts bring me to 20-20 but now I need stupid reading glasses!!! |

Location: Broxton, Ga | NJJ - 2014-12-10 12:16 PM Personally, I don't think ANY money won at ANY "invitational" should count. And the WPRA screwed their members by allowing that to happen. That being said to say that any of the ladies there at the NFR don't "deserve" to be there is asinine.
Agree.......and if I am not mistaken.......in a interview Kaley Bass even said herself she didn't think invitational rodeos should count........and it helped her make the NFR........ |

A few of them made that comment. I saw it on a website that interviewed all 15 of them. "What would you change about rodeo?" A few mentioned invitationals shouldn't count. |

I wonder what the real vote would be on the invitational format from the contestants...I made two meetings last year early in the season. Not more than a dozen gals showed up. Big Byron came and told us how the cow was going to eat the cabbage on a few points at one of them.
The committees are the shakers here. Not the players and the middle man our associations are in a tough spot balancing the "act".
I would love the big rodeos to open up much like the Ft Worth show. I just don't see that ever occurring again. But, I don't ever say never as several girls have learned the reason they got to dance was a big invitational win. Even if they were profoundly against the $ counting. I've not seen one turn down the paid EF's and I've seen smiles as they've raced down the T&M alley. |

Location: In the rockies. | SKM - 2014-12-11 8:43 PM The two that made the big bucks at Houston and Calgary were Kaley and Nancy. Kaley has qualified for the NFR 3 years now. Nancy is clocking great times and she did very well at the rodeos she did go to. Do you honestly believe they shouldn't be there because if so, I have to question if you are watching the same rodeo I am. I don't agree with Houston and Calgary counting. But to say anyone there at the NFR doesn't deserve to be there is crazy. I say that anyone there deserves to live that dream.
Ditto!
