When I was in college they had ribbon roping for the first 2 years. I won a bunch in that event by slinging it right across the line. Then they took out ribbon roping and put in team roping. I kinda did the same thing on the heading side. Only team roped at the college rodeos and not the pro's. But was always impressed by H.P. slinging it. The horse I had in college I could reach and rope with ease. In 85 when I started with my bay gelding, I had to ride up closer, as he would throw you over his head if you reached to far on him. -- RODEO RAMBLINGS

Crystal how was your dad's NFR experience? How about you ZD? (NT) -- Varmit, 06:28:25 12/16/08 Tue
- I haven't seen him since they got back. They got home at midnite Sunday. Then, we've been having bad weather, so I didn't venture over to their place. Then, yesterday, he took off to his boat. Guess he'd had enough of people. :-) They got home to a house with no heat and broken pipes in the shop. (NT) -- Crystal, 08:18:55 12/16/08 Tue
- I had a blast, Varmet. I thought the Sunday night performance and all the tributes were great. Sorry I missed Chris Harris' 88 point ride in person but it was pretty spectacular on TV. He got hung up one of the nights I was there. Lots and lots of fun. Even went to Hooters. (NT) -- ZD, 12:28:31 12/16/08 Tue
