Tonight is the night-the last go round of the worlds greatest sport!

I have been to a hay wagon load of sports around the world, but the best of all concludes tonight! You won't read about it in most newspapers, but it may be found if you ardently seek it. It is the National Rodeo Finals in Las Vegas. Only the best of the best make it to Vegas, and of the 120 athletes at that ten day event, ten are from Utah with a herd of the Wright family from Milford competing. From my grandstand point of view, the only other Utah family that did it so "right" in sports were the Fullmer brothers in boxing during the 1950's and 60's. Utah boys are Rhen Richard, Kaycee Feild, Mason Clements, Quinn Kesler, Coburn Bradshaw, Rusty Wright, Ryder Wright, Jake Wright, Joe Frost and Tyler Bingham. And if you ever get a chance to attend the NFR in real life, you will see that the true American cowboy knows how to pray for the safety of the animal & cowboy as well as sing the National Anthem correctly. If you can't find it at PRCA World Standings on the computer, you will have to wait til next summer when the Ute Stampede returns to Nephi, and welcome Cotton Rosser-just like they did in Vegas on opening night. Now if we can get those Texas rodeo Judges to keep their yellow flags in their Wrangler britches!
