Wrangler National Finals Rodeo

2008 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo

"It's one of the better trips I've ever seen him have," Feild, of Elk Ridge, Utah, said of the horse. "I had always wanted to get on him and had dreamed about it and drew him at the right place and made it pay. He came around to the right, but he usually just goes straight and angles. He was just real good and a lot of fun. I feel real good. That was a lot of fun."

"I had a pretty good steer that they didn't do well on the first time, but they said he was really good," said Franzen, who has 2005 World Champion Steer Wrestler Lee Graves working as his hazer. "I didn't make a great run, but it was good enough tonight. This year, I came in here trying to win the go-rounds. That wasn't working, but I was in the average. Last night, I went out of the average, so I went back to trying to win the rounds. It ended up working out tonight."

"We made a good run, and it's nice to get some more money won," Funk said. "That's the first time I've ever been three (seconds), so I'm just happy with that."

"Matt's got to hurry up and then wait for me, because it's hard for me to get out there and get around the steer where I need to be," Campbell said. "Tonight, I felt like I had great position, the steer was right there for me and I had a fast shot."

"He started alright for a couple of jumps and then he hopped and skipped, and so you have to start back over again to hopefully get back in time with him, so everything ended up working out all right," Etbauer said. "I got lucky and finally made it to the pickup man and got off on (brother) Danny. It was a little extra pleasure."

Trevor Brazile clinches his 6th All-Around Cowboy title with his win in round 6.

"I really didn't know," said a surprised Brazile, who now has nine career world titles, upon learning about his all-around title. "I had cinched one before the NFR was over in the past, and it's an awesome feeling. It's awesome. You've got Ty Murray, Larry Mahan and Tom Ferguson, (in this group) and that says enough right there. It's not the championships, it's the guys who've been there who make them special. That's an awesome, awesome deal."

"It was really great," Sears said of her win. "Any time you are below the 14-second mark in this arena, it is a run you can be happy with. If you get in the mid-13s, it really gets great."

"I could never dream of anything better than this," said Proctor, of Tooele, Utah. "I had to wait on him a few times - he wanted me on the inside a few times, then he'd hesitate and want me on the outside the next time. So, I had to ride him jump for jump. He was a great bull, and jumped out and turned back into my hand."
