They turned her down. That ground is older than ....dirt? I think it was fresh dirt 30 years ago. Yes Mr S D was not a happy camper diggin in to his money pit.

Expert Posts: 2457	Burn n' Turn - 2014-12-05 3:49 PM Did anyone else notice how hard the ground in the roping boxes was? The horses didn't dig it up at all. And there was some funky lines in it that were never messed up... The only time I noticed the lines in the boxes was when the view was from above and it was in between events .... made me wonder if they raked the boxes between events. When we were there in 2008, we sat right above the boxes ... they were never worked but didn't look bad at all either.

Duct Tape Bikini Girl Posts: 2554	I've been watching for years, and I was shocked that no one fell and got hurt last night. The horses knew it was risky dirt. They were running on tippy toes and not extending. Must say I'm glad to be a spoiled 5D girl after watching last night. Good luck tonight ladies!

Expert Posts: 1409	I thought the lines were shadows? I think Butch and Jeff do a good job!! They only have what 14 seconds per person to talk about them. My goodness how much could you really say in that amount of time without sounding like you were just reading your lines out of a book. I guess those who always complain about them should mute the TV and see how well you do in that amount of time. I thought the entire NFR went really fast last night...faster than what I remember. I am sure the camera angles will improve. I too am thankful for the showing of all 15 runners and the interview of the winner!

I totally agree...I think most don't realize she's not riding the horse that got her there.

That little horse rocked it! I'm digging Carlee Pierce's horse too. Stingray is sooooo consistent. Wow. I'm ready for round 2. That Tammy Key saddle she was riding in sure worked for her.

10D Crack Champion	I was glad it showed all 15. I like Butch and Jeff. Yes they sound like a broken record, but oh well. There just isn't much time to talk like the other events when we wait on everything to fall into place. I watch WPRA Today often and the commentary isn't any better and it is a barrel racer discussing taped footage. In 13-14 seconds what would we want them to really say? I was so glad there wasn't a game on before it started so it could start on time. I haven't looked at their schedule. I sure hope there are no games before the NFR for the next 9 performances.

Rebel Without a Cause Posts: 2758 Location: Adopt a homeless pet - www.petfinder.com!	Hope they fix the ground tonight. As far as the tv coverage, I'm just beyond happy that they show all 15 girls every night. I can remember years ago when you were lucky if they showed 5 of them!

More bootie than waist! Posts: 18425 Location: Riding Crackhead.	dhdqhllc - 2014-12-05 11:04 AM i thought coverage was better last year......it was fine but some of the camera work was just annoying......who the heck wants to watch the split screen blob and miss the head shot on several runs when they finally cut back just in time to catch the heel shot.....not impressed I agree it was better last year but CBS is better than I thought it would be. If that makes any sense.
