Mike Spence, PSN EditorThanks to an aggregate title at La Fiesta de los Vaqueros (and the $6,994 that came with it), Canadian steer wrestler Dallas Frank, who didn't purchase his PRCA card until 2003, is finally collecting some cash with presidents instead of queens.

Mike Spence, PSN EditorAlan Bandy would love to rodeo full time, but the winnings just haven't been there for the 27-year-old saddle bronc rider. So inevitably each year, it's back to the Canadian pipeline to make ends meet.

Story | Conversation | November 30, 2004Son Shines
Mike Spence, PSN EditorThere are advantages to being eight-time world champion Roy Cooper's son. And then there are drawbacks like always being referred to as "somebody's son." As he prepares for his first Wrangler NFR as a contestant, Clint Cooper is ready to be himself.
Story | Conversation | November 29, 2004Juggernaut

Story | Conversation | October 01, 2004Return Of The Kings?
Mike Spence, PSN EditorEarly this year team ropers David Key and Clay O'Brien Cooper looked like the favorites for a world title. Then a stretch of bad luck appeared to prove they weren't invincible. Or are they?
