I know why the NFR has a larger fan base, there are more different events and some people are fans of those events and not bull riding and it has been going on a lot longer.

I know a lot of the PBR bulls go to the NFR. I still say, from what I have seen...live events, on TV, etc., etc.... There are more higher quality bulls at PBR events as opposed to PRCA events, including Extreme Bulls.

Admittedly, being on the east coast, the chances of catching the NFR at a decent time, is pretty much hit and miss.

Personally, I'd rather see a pen full of rideable, spinners, that you can be 90 on and cover than a pen full of eliminators anyway. I get pretty bored with a bunch of 1-4 second rides.

Tracy, you are right. At most PRCA events, the quality of the stock is lacking. They tend to go with 1-3 contractors who have a few good bulls and horses, but not PBR quality. I've got to give the PBR credit, they have great bulls at all events. Maybe too great. I have to admit that I lost interest when too many guys bucked off too quickly. I stopped watching long before I lost versus on Direct TV and didn't miss it enough to change to another provider. My ideal event has EVERYONE riding for at least 6 seconds and lots of high 80's scores with a few 90's thrown in. I hate it when they get one jumped right out of the chutes.

But the NFR is different. There are lots of stock contractors at the NFR and the quality of the stock is great. The best of the best are there. And it is a 10 day party, even if you never step inside the Thomas and Mack!

I would love to go to the NFR some time, if I never step inside T&M. I have heard it's a GREAT time! Tried to get to work it this year, but too many people were competing for those positions.
