It's a amusing how things change because now we can go to the west coast – and a lot of this has to do with the bull teams – but we can out there and see a lot of the top bulls, and not too long ago that was not the case.

The point I want to make is that there are two ways that Valdiron, Lostroh and Mike Lee can catch up: they can just dominate the last six events and Marchi struggle or get hurt.

First of all, when I was doing my stats for Glendale, I couldn't believe the turnaround in all the stats. Guys who were riding 50, 60 and 70 percent are now riding one for their last 10, one for their last 12 and one for their last nine.

It's always good to see Larry the Cable Guy. I was kidding him during the opening about how he started off selling t-shirts for the PBR and started stealing my funny lines at the comedy clubs and now he's famous.

That was a big building – huge.

I don't know if those of you who were watching on TV could tell how they do that, but they actually cut the Alamo Dome in half and put the chutes on the 50 yard line and we play to one end, which a big end.

Harve started off like a ball of fire when he came on tour last year and then he got in a terrible slump and he couldn't ride anything, but he was riding everything. He had a bunch of 90-point rides right off the bat as soon as he got on tour last year and then he got in such a slump to where he couldn't ride a spinner.

He had to work his way back on tour.

Keep in mind these bulls don't have to show up every week. As a matter of fact, they're managed very well to where they only perform once every couple of weeks, at the very most. Their travel is very limited because the stock contractors don't want any stress of any kind on these bulls.

If they have a poor out, unlike a cowboy, then they're going to go back to the minor leagues and prove themselves again or gain some confidence.

Three things can happen with the race for the World Championship: somebody can just get on an incredible roll and in the next four events place in the Top 3, but anybody doing that besides Marchi is highly, highly unlikely.

Another thing would be to hope Marchi falls off all of his bulls at the Finals, but, once again, it's highly, highly unlikely and somebody would have to have a runaway Finals of their own.

For those of you who didn't get to see the show on Sunday one of the things we did was that we all came up with our biggest surprise on the year. Mine was the amount of 90 point rides. Just after halfway there are 88 and we only had 73 over all of last year.

That is just incredible.

A story that won't be picked up by a lot of people, but I mentioned during the telecast, and that is: North Star, Far North and Northern Chill – all in the Ford Championship round – are all full brothers born the same year out of the same cow.

They're flush mates and what that means is there was a cow that was stimulated to super ovulate, which means put out more eggs than just one and was artificially inseminated.
