Ah, the College National Finals Rodeo. Simply put, I love it. Nothing in the world of rodeo compares to it (my world is limited to this and Frontier Days). Regardless of my limited world view, this is the best. It is a rock concert. It is the Super Bowl. It is unmatched. Period.
Not only is this a ballsy sport to begin with, but add in the fact that the competitors are college kids fueled solely on passion and you have yourself a throw down of epic proportions.
These kids drive themselves across the country, from rodeo to rodeo and maintain grades, jobs, families, etc. That’s a tough gig. I’m worn out from two trips to Casper to watch and take pictures. No beast kicked me in the skull, my rope didn’t miss it’s mark and I didn’t taste dirt (much). And I’m worn out? Ha! What a joke.
The bottom line is this, I fear cowboys/girls and respect them, but not as a result of my fear — they are unmatched in their hardcore approach to sports and life.
My congratulations to all of them and I cannot wait to see it again next year.
