Willy is a great rider and has fun with the fans too. I saw him on the ET tour a few times and he really caught my eye. I thought you would all like him once you saw him on tour. I am glad to see that he did well in his debut.

Haha I really like this guys style. Certainly makes him stand out in a crowd thats for sure. Was a tad scary to see him get knock out cold tho...  |

I loved his accent when Tava interviewed him. He sure sounded excited to be there... too bad he had that wreck, that was a bummer esp since we was so close to riding Red Jacket!

Dont know about that bandanna, but Willy has T-R-Y. All three of his bulls had his bucked off, and he didnt quit. Great effort!

i figured that being raised amish(always in black clothes), he has no sense of color or style. i thought it was ok, but my 21 yr. old son didn't think it was quite "cowboy" enough for him.

i really like this kid...but his style is really unique to say the least, lol...
it was scarey to see him knocked out cold and just lying in the arena....at least he got up and walked out on his own..he was lucky that that horn curved down if not i think that it would have been a bit more ugly for the poor kid.
and also, what was up with, i think haber, say that rob was saying jacket for a neck collor?? i knew right away when rob was saying jacket that he was yelling at the bull...i think that gafney corrected him about that...

Ya mary i caught that too. I was thinking obviously Rob was distracting the bull, but i thought that Haber said Rob was calling for people to come and help Willy. But that too was not correct either...i was glad that Michael Gafney corrected him  As for the bandana, i wasnt a big fan...i dont know im for the traditional starched shirt with a few buttons undone at the top  Poor kid though i hope hes ok, he was really knocked out cold |
