PBR Event Reports

It's a record setting night in Las Vegas at the 15th anniversary of the PBR
[Oct. 31, 2008] The monster mash was on at the Thomas and Mack n opening night of the PBR World Finals. If it wasn't the monster mash it could have been mistaken for the bull mash because it was a record for bulls being ridden at a PBR World Finals and at a Built Ford Tough Event. The venue has changed and for the first time in 15 years the Thomas and Mack, home to the UNLV Runnin Rebels decided to take the basketball floor up and host both weekends at the UNLV Campus. This is my 7th year covering the action from the arena floor for the Rodeo Attitude team and have I got a night to brag about. By J. W. Kinder, Pro Rodeo Announcer
