Round Two Results, Round Three Thoughts

Close just isn’t good enough in the sport of riding bulls. I had only two rides last night, but my bulls were great! My opponent got three rides, so he is now 70 points ahead of me. That is less than one bull ride, I know, but it puts me in the dilemma of whether to play to safe or take a chance today.

I don’t think I mentioned that they are changing the rules once we get to Vegas and start picking our riders and bulls in person. Instead of being able to pick the same riders and bulls by coincidence, we will be alternating our picks, and can’t have the same riders on our teams. That’s the bad news. The good news is that we are not restricted to picking only one rider from the top five, two from the next ten, and two from the bottom twenty-five. If I am still behind on Thursday night, I will get first pick. We can still choose any bulls we want. So, I have to come up with a strategy. I guess that gives me something to do on the three and a half hour flight!

Be sure to watch today on CBS at 4:00 CST and 5:00 on Versus. Make sure you set your clocks back one hour last night, too!
