Straws Milan

Straws Milan won the bulldoggin and went home with $106000 at Calgary. His first Stampede and appeared to be a weekend rodeo guy. In the final 4 he went last after 2 NT and a broken barrier 13+ and turned a 3.6 second run to prove he deserved the win.
Great story and he looked like he was living a dream.
I like Calgary better than the NFR. Seems more real with lots of guys that go back to work on Monday morning.
Milan"s from your country Per?

I don't know him Greybeard. I think he hails from the west side of Calgary. I agree that the fun of Calgary is that it can be won by whoever gets it done on the day after a small tournament style rodeo to qualify. I never grew up in a Rodeo Culture so only know the guys and gals who cross my path in the ranching end of things. It looks like a great way to make a guys golden years a tad more difficult. Good thing these guys are tough.
