    EP 103 Hellooooooo, Houston!

    From Hall of Famer and voice of RodeoHouston Bob Tallman having to sit this one out to unprecedented dress-code reform for unruly fans, instant replay and a local county judge being booted for sneaking her way into a better seat, there’s plenty to talk about when it comes to the richest rodeo of our regular season. That, and two young guns just matched the 3.2-second world team roping record at Rodeo Austin. Send us Fan MailSend your thoughts and feedback to [email protected] or text 817-668-2395
