Maybe they will let Flint use the big T-Shirt gun so someone other than the first 3 rows will have a chance to get one.

July 28, 2010Oh, and a new team of bull riders oughtta be fun to watch! (We haven't seen many teams this year with sponsors dwindling.) I remember the old DeWalt team too; I in fact still have a "DeWalt Bull Riders" sticker from an event I attended in '01. -

July 28, 2010Wow, this is pretty huge! Especially DeWalt, who used to be a sponsor of the PBR in the late '90s-early 2000's. And with (as I've heard it) the impending loss of Enterprise after this season, it's a big pick-up for the PBR. Kudos!
(Now they just gotta change the sponsors graphic at the bottom of the page...)
