July 29, 2014 By Jason Hetland

jbrematch

The time is upon us once again to have a chance on witnessing history later on this week.  2013 Professional Bull Riders World Champion J.B. Mauney will face off with the legendary bucking bull Bushwacker!  J.B. was able to break Bushwacker’s amazing buck off streak last year in Tulsa, Oklahoma after riding him for the eight seconds required to a huge score of 95.25.  Ever since that fateful day, the defending World Champion has not been able to make another qualified ride in the numerous attempts he has had to do so.

This Thursday evening J.B. Mauney will have another shot to make history with his rematch against the 2013 World Champion Bucking Bull.  This will be a great chance for all the fans of the PBR to head to Santa Barbara, California to see World Champion face off with World Champion at the Touring Pro Division PBR Event.  If you are not able to attend to see it live there is a chance for everyone to watch it through the PBR Live option on its website that you can access here.

Jason was able to be invited to an exclusive teleconference with the 2013 PBR World Champion, J.B. Mauney, to find out about how he is approaching this upcoming rematch.  The Rodeo Round Up was granted permission to record the teleconference to be able to allow all of its fans inside access and be able to be a part of this exclusive event.  In our conversation, we talk about everything from his health to his personal life and how all that is affected coming up to his match up with the 2013 World Champion Bucking Bull, Bushwacker, in just a couple short days.  Jason and his Rodeo Round Up team hope that you enjoy listening to this conversation to be able to get to know one of the best-known names in the sport of professional bull riding a little bit better!!

It was announced today after the teleconference that once the second half of the Professional Bull Riders Built Ford Tough Series kicks off that we will be able to have these type of teleconferences each week spotlighting a different rider each time.  Jason will bring each of these exclusive events to the fans of the Rodeo Round Up so make sure to follow us on Twitter at @therodeoroundup, on Facebook here or bookmark www.therodeoroundup.com on your favorites page so you can continue to check back throughout the year for all of your bull riding and professional rodeo news and updates!

2013 Professional Bull Riders World Champion J.B. Mauney did not have the night he wanted at the Iron Cowboy V event but came back with a new attitude the next night at the history making RFD-TV’s The American.  J.B. Mauney knew that there was a $100,000 payday at the end of the event inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington Texas and he did what he had to do to win it.  J.B. rode well in front of 50,000 fans to win the first ever RFD-TV’s The American rodeo which will go down in the history books as the richest one day rodeo in the history of the sport.  Jason and the Rodeo Round Up team caught up with J.B. after his win and found out what this event will do to the sport of professional rodeo and what this money means to him and his family.

J.B. Mauney talks about what the American and its payday means to him

Be sure to stay tuned to the Rodeo Round Up for the next couple of weeks as we will be posting one new story/interview each day from our complete coverage of the Iron Cowboy V and The American events that were held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington Texas!

Legendary Bucking Bull Bushwacker To Retire After The 2014 PBR World Finals

January 23, 2014 By Jason Hetland

bushwacker

It was announced today that the legendary bucking bull, Bushwacker, is set to be retired at the end of October after his last out at the 2014 PBR World Finals in Las Vegas.  It was announced in the USA Today newspaper that one of the greatest bulls, if not the greatest bull, will make his last trip inside the Thomas & Mack Arena at the end of the year.  Bushwacker has some very impressive stats he has put up throughout his career which includes only being rode two times since 2009.  The last ride was 2013 PBR World Champ J.B. Mauney last year for 95.25 points.  This rodeo athlete has bucked off some of the best bull riders in the world and has a 96% buck off rate over his career.  All of his career stats can be seen on the PBR athlete profile page here.  People have many different favorite athletes they follow throughout the Built Ford Tough Series and that includes the bulls themselves.  Over the last few years, thanks to bulls like Bushwacker, folks not only come to events to see their favorite cowboys but to see their favorite bulls as well.

2013 PBR World Champion J.B. Mauney and defending bull World Champion Bushwacker

Before any type of retirement talks take place there is one match up that folks around the world are talking about.  This weekend in Oklahoma City there is this little thing called the 15/15 Bucking Battle taking place.  This match up is being compared to the great battle between Lane Frost and Red Rock many years ago.  2013 PBR World Champion J.B. Mauney will climb aboard the defending bucking bull World Champion Bushwacker.  These two met last year and J.B. made history by riding this 1500 pound bovine to the 8-second buzzer for a huge score of 95.25 just down the road in Tulsa, OK.  So far this year J.B. has broken a long standing consecutive ride record with riding 16 straight and now he has this in front of him.  An up and coming world champ against a retiring world champ!  Everyone inside the Chesapeake Energy Arena will witness one of the greatest moments in bull riding history no matter the outcome.

2013 PBR World Champion J.B. Mauney

J.B. Mauney has a history of coming up big against the toughest bulls in the business.  This is supported by the fact that Mauney has a qualified ride on 13 of the Top 25 PBR bulls throughout his Built Ford Tough Series career.  This fact along with fact that the  2013 World Champion has a 53 percent success rate against the Top 25 bulls during his young and growing career makes him unstoppable in anything he puts his mind to.  He is not afraid and actually welcomes the chance to ride the top bulls in the world and he has ridden every World Champion Bull since 2007 at least once which is an absolutely astonishing fact that will be hard for anyone to beat in the future.

Defending World Champion Bucking Bull Bushwacker will retire at the end of the 2014 season

Bushwacker will be in the spot light again this Saturday in Oklahoma City at the 15/15 Bucking Battle.  The PBR and Bushwacker’s owner, Julio Moreno, will announce the official statement about his retirement at some point today while the 2014 Built Ford Tough Series stop is in the Oklahoma town.

It was just released from the PBR where you can see this legendary bucking bull in person on his 11 stop farewell tour.  Editors note:  Thank you to the PBR for supplying this information for the fans.

Jan. 24-26: Oklahoma City
Feb. 7-9:  Anaheim, Calif.
March 1: Arlington, Texas – PBR Iron Cowboy V
March 21-23: Albuquerque, N.M
March 28-29: Fresno, Calif.
April 4-5: Nampa, Idaho
April 11-13: Billings, Mont.
May 9-10: Las Vegas – Last Cowboy Standing
Aug. 15-16: Tulsa, Okla.
Sept. 5-6: Nashville, Tenn.*
Oct. 3-4: Biloxi, Miss.*
Oct. 22-26: Las Vegas – PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals

* Subject to change based on 2014-15 NFL Schedule

Julio Moreno plans on retiring Bushwacker at his ranch in Oakdale California and he said to USA Today Sports,” He’ll have a pasture, maybe 15 acres, irrigated, nice clover, a little barn to come under, and he’ll probably have 20-21 girlfriends with him at all times. He’ll enjoy that.”  You can see the entire USA Today article here and learn just a little bit more about this great athlete.  It will not be the same without this legendary name inside the arena and having record breaking world champ fights with his counter part Asteroid.  There will be many great bulls that come in the future but I have a feeling it will be a long time before any animal athlete will come close to having the status that Bushwacker has within the PBR.  I know that Bushwacker will be missed not only by fans but all those involved within the Professional Bull Riders organization.  I can guarantee you that we will be seeing some of his offspring in the future and they will carry on the legacy of the great bucking bull Bushwacker.  He has had a wonderful career and will have a great life of retirement as a member of the Julio Moreno family.

 

 

 

 

Night 3 Goes the Other Way. Alves Regains No. 1 Spot

October 26, 2013 By Admin

PBR in Las Vegas
For this being the 20th Anniversary of the Professional Bull Riders World Finals, this is THE most dramatic PBR World Finals ever.  Everybody up’ed their game for Friday night.  From the opening 91.25 point ride by Stormy Wing (winning the round)  to the closing rides that again changed the leader board.  The Thomas & Mack Center was not quiet very much or for very long…

J.B. Mauney rode Excavation for 89 points and an ear shattering audience applause.  Only to sit back and watch two-time defending PBR World Champion Silvano Alves ride Showboat for 89.5 points and finished second in the round to regain his familiar position as the No. 1 ranked bull rider in the world.

But it is still either man’s game…  Alves has just a 19.75-point advantage.  The narrowest margin of any lead this season.

“This is the tightest race I’ve ever been in – even coming into the Finals – and it’s like two fighters trading blows,” said Mauney, who was clearly exhausted afterward. “It’s been a long time since my mouth’s been dry before I got on a bull and it’s happened every night since I’ve been here.

Silvano Alves will have the second pick in tonight’s bull draft for Saturday’s fourth round followed immediately by Mauney, who has the third pick by virtue of their Round 3 finishes.

Round 4 of the 2013 PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals starts at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26 at Thomas & Mack Center. It will air live on CBS SN at 9 p.m. ET.
