Leave for Vegas Saturday morning for the eight final days of the PBR national finals rodeo. Will arrive in time to catch the third performance out of eleven.Was there in 2007 to watch Trevor take home the Gold. 

One of the coolest things this year has been the lead-in features with Trevor Brazile and the Cooper boys who are all contestants in this years show.

Don’t use smoke very often but these guys are just kinda like the “rolling thunder” personalities so it seemed appropriate.

The Messenger decided to send myself and reporter Brandon Evans to document this small piece of history, after all 33% of the top ropers in the world are from Wise County.

Will be posting results and photos daily starting Sunday
