Hey there Stepmunster! Looks like the PBR got the draw back up. Glad to see The Wild Child back on the draw. Robyn and I are going to Auburn Hills in two weeks so hopefully we'll get to see him there.

PBR: Former Champ Comes Through

By Michael Beniash
Journal Staff Writer
Justin McBride is no stranger to being on top of a bull.
The 27-year-old bull rider from Elk City, Okla., won his first and only Pro Bull Riders Built Ford Tough Series world title in 2005. And he currently is the tour's all-time leading money winner ($3,342,031).
This season, the nine-year veteran has taken his riding to a higher level.
Heading into this weekend's Ty Murray Invitational, McBride was leading the tour standings by 904 points over J.B. Mauney (Mooresville, N.C.) and 3,382 ahead of third-place Guilherme Marchi (Sao Paulo, Brazil).
"It's been really good so far this year," said McBride, who missed last season's Albuquerque event to take time off for the birth of his first daughter, Addisen. "I've really come back hungry and I'm staying healthy, which always helps."
Saturday night at Tingley Coliseum, McBride's hunger persisted. After delivering a 85.75 on Friday, McBride scored a 84.25 atop Texas Two Step, a bull he rode on his way to victory in the Tampa, Fla., event. The ride put the 5-foot-8 cowboy in fifth place (170 points) and in contention for a record-tying sixth title this season.
"That was just a big, fat bull," an energetic McBride said. "He just spins in tight little circles."
Asked if he was disappointed with his score, McBride said, "Every time I ride a bull, I always think my score should be higher than it really is."
The only two New Mexico riders in the competition didn't fare as well. Texico's L.J. Jenkins was bucked off Deuces Wild, making him 0-for-2 in the event. Travis Briscoe, who scored 82.5 on Friday, couldn't ride Get Western. He held on for 6 seconds, but "flat got bucked off."
"It's nice to compete for my home fans, but any time I don't ride all the way through it's disappointing." he said.
While Briscoe was not happy after his fall, he has plenty to smile about at home. The Edgewood native recently moved to Stephensville, Texas, where he lives in a four-bedroom house on 50 acres with his new fiancee Jessie Springer, 19.
The second round began like the first round ended� with the bulls dominating. Only 12 riders scored the first day. But Sao Paulo, Brazil's Adriano Moraes, the reigning tour champion, quickly changed that. He rode Stray Cat for the highest score of the night (88.25). Eight of the next 10 cowboys had successful rides, much to the delight of the near-sellout crowd.
Moraes, who missed Friday's ride because his flight from Dallas was canceled, was excited to compete back in New Mexico.
"I always like riding here," Moraes said. "And it doesn't matter that I missed a day. I'm here just trying to ride all my bulls."
Kasey Hayes, 21, from Liberal, Kan., is the leader with 177 points. Following is Marchi (173) and Kody Lostroh (170.5).
Hanging strong is Tater Porter, 36, the second-oldest rider on tour, behind Moraes, 36. The gray-haired cowboy from Kenansville, Fla., sits 10th with 161.25 points.
