Things I learned at the Versus Invitational

1. Bullriders are from places like North Carolina, Montana, Texas, Alberta and South America. Because aparently, all of the countries of South America have banded together to make a super country/continent kind of like Australia.

2. The PBR is a lot like Nascar, similiar fans and they both have an invocation. Although, during Nascar races, people generally don't cheer during said invocation even when they mention the USA is the greatest country in the world. Nascar fans seem to take their praying way more seriously.

3. What's the point of an American flag if it's not three stories high. (thx. Howard)

4. Bullriders have really horrible hair. It's like they all wait in line to get a bowl cut. I'm pretty sure even supercuts could give you a better hair cut than the rodeo clown.

5. Real bullriders wear cowboys hats not helmets or a cowboy hat over a helmet.

6. It's a good idea to stay on the bull for eight seconds. Ah, now that Luke Perry movie makes so much more sense.

7. Extra style points should be awarded for the riders dismounts from the bull. Especially when they flip off the bull, land on their head and get up in time to avoid being stomped on by the bull.

8. Bullriders may give it up to the J man more than pitchers when they go to the mound. They also only give props after they've riden never before.

9. The best part is when the bulls get ornery.

10. The buldozer is the PBR's version of the zamboni.

It's been fun blogging with you,
