Subject: more details from TEC in Guthrie--from the Dubois blog--see inside>>>>

Steve Duhon told me he might have been considering making this his last appearance at the TEC, but that now he was here he could see that it was just too good an event to walk away from, so he will keep his options open. He does most of his preparation for the event at Jasper, Texas, but he hadn't tried out the roan steer roping horse until he got here. His tie-down horse is owned by Cooper Shofner. His steer wrestling horse is named Chip, is 14 years old and used by his boys in high school rodeo. The 4 year old paint he is heeling on belonged to his Dad. Bucky Campbell is Duhon's helper in the heading and heeling. Duhon said this was his 11th year at the TEC and he thought the stock looked pretty good. He did say the calves were a little uneven, with some running real hard and others being pups.

Duhon's times in the first round were 7.2,17.1,14.9,4.9 and 31.2 for a total of 75.3 He had to take a second trip on his steer in the steer roping. He had a pretty, smooth run in the second round with a time of 16.6, so it looks like he and that roan will get along just fine.

Some other observations:

Trevor Brazile hickeyed a horn on his heading steer in the first round. He didn't fish it off but grabbed it by the loop to get it off. He looked at the flagger and the flag was still up, so he threw his second loop, completed the run and then was flagged out. I'm just curious why he wasn't flagged out as soon as he touched the loop. Maybe someone who knows the rules better than me can send an email and straighten me out on this.

Later he posted: Concerning our question about Brazile's heading run in the first round, Steve Duhon says he should have been flagged out the minute his hand touched the loop while it was still on the steer....not after the run was completed.

B.J. Campbell missed his dogging steer in the first round and had to run the length of the arena (the Lazy E is a hugh arena, it is wider than the NFR arena is long) remount and throw the steer before his sixty seconds was up, which he did. What was funny was he took his hat off while running and fanned his butt, just like he would have been spanking his horse. I'll be darned if he didn't miss his dogging steer again in the second round, and had to run the length of the arena again. One wag said if he kept it up he would leave Guthrie in the best shape of his life.

It's nice to see the rodeo family growing in this event. Jake Cooper, one of Jimmie's twins, is his dad's helper in the heading and heeling. Jimmie Cooper Jr is heeling for Kyle Hughes, who is the son of former competitor Paul Hughes. Finally, Paul Tierney's son Jess is heading for him.
