How Good is Good Enough? Apr 19, 08 8:54 am  By: Slade
After studying bull stats for many years now, I've been less than satisfied about one particular aspect of measuring bull performance. Using the average marking measured against all bulls doesn't always reveal the value that is inherent in some bulls.

The original idea behind Probullstats was to provide bull riders with information about bulls that would help them calculate their odds of winning or breaking even at any particular event and on whatever bull they have drawn there.

By simply measuring the career average of bulls, we show that there are relatively few bulls that are in the elite class. But, as a bull rider, you don't necessarily need one of the elite bulls to win big. What you really need is the best bull in the go round you are competing in. And that bull can sometimes be ranked far below the top bulls in the world.

So to...

Apparently some Red Sox fans have been training local birds to harass high profile Yankee players, but their nefarious plot was exposed Thursday at Fenway when a red tailed hawk mistakenly attacked a 13 year old schoolgirl named Alexa Rodriguez.

Oklahoma We Love Ya! Feb 21, 08 8:53 am  By: Slade
There are a lot of great things to be said for living in Louisiana, but our state politics and politicians aren't one of them. Throughout its history Louisiana has been held up by residents of other states as an example of democracy gone horribly wrong, and our accusers do have a case.

Now you would think that this would make folks from Louisiana hang their heads in shame in light of our history of being seen as a state full of backwards rubes, but it doesn't. People in Louisiana rationalize that... it could be worse... we could be Oklahoma

Bull Change Log Feb 2, 08 10:25 am  By: Slade
I am always adding bulls to the PBS Database, and constantly editing records on bulls that are already in it. People are always asking me when a certain event is going to be processed.

So, I built a logging system that will record every time a bull is added or edited in the PBS database. You can view the most 200 recent bull record changes here. When a bull hits this list, it means he is on the Probullstats radar, and most likely some new outs for him will be up soon.

200 bull record edits is usually more or less a week's worth, so what you see there is usually going to be what's going on right now.

PBR Draft Round in NYC Jan 2, 08 2:18 pm  By: Slade
Thought some of you might be interested in the tentative bull list for the Round 2 draft round in NYC this weekend. In the draft round, the riders will pick their own bulls in the order they placed in round 1.

Here's the bulls they will pick from (pdf)

There could be some late subs, so this list is tentative.
