On the air TheyalsowontheWNFR average with a nine-head time of 54.2 seconds, and set the record for team rop- ing earnings in a season ($249,133 for Simpson, and $258,311 for Buhler). "This is close to the day my daughter was born," Simpson said, looking at his partner. "Are you shak- ing? I'm shaking. I've never had this much excitement." Not to be outdone by his fellow countrymen, Zeke Thurston pulled off a stun- ner of epic proportions in Round 10, bringing the sad- dle bronc riding world title back to Canada for the first time in 14 years. The Big Valley, Alberta, cowboy split third place in Round10,andwhendefend- ing World Champ Jacobs Crawley missed his horse out, Thurston completed thecomeback,edgingCraw- ley by less than $3,000 for the world title and collect- ing the WNFR average title for good measure. "I can't even tell you how I feel, there's no feel- ing to compare it to," said the 22-year-old Thurston. "I didn't know if it (win- ning the world and aver- age) was true or not at first, but in the hallway the cam- era crew told me, and they were right. It's a beautiful buckle — to get the average at the NFR is a big deal, but the world is huge." The last time a saddle broncriderrepresentingCan- adawontheworldwaswhen ProRodeoHallofFamerGlen O'Neill did it in 2002. "I knew there was a chance, and everyone has a chance — but to realistically have a shot, I knew I had to ridegoodandbeconsistent," Thurston said. "The horse I had (Andrews Rodeo's Fire Lane), I knew I could place good, and luckily it worked out. She has been around a longtime,anddoesthesame thing every time — she cir- cles to the left." Tim O'Connell com- pleted one of the most his- toric bareback riding sea- sons in PRCA history with two buckles and one proud state of Iowa. There has only been one PRCA world champion from the state of Iowa — bareback rider Paul Mayo in 1966. Mayo was from Grinnell, Iowa, which is150milesfromO'Connell's hometown of Zwingle. "It feels amazing — I'm humbled and blessed to have my name on that wall of champions with all the other names up there," O'Connell said. "To be the second one from Iowa ... there aren't words that can describe what that means." O'Connell led for the ma- jority of the regular season, and while he only took one go-round victory lap during the 10 days of the WNFR, his consistency earned him boththegoldbuckleandthe WNFR average title. He earned checks in eight of the 10 rounds, tak- ing the average title with a score of 842 points on 10 head — which was 27 points clear of the rest of the field. O'Connell earned a total of $374,272, a new bareback riding single-season record. "It puts my mark down that this was my year, and I didn'tleaveanydoubtabout it," he said. "But that takes nothing away from those other14barebackriders,be- cause that is the best group of bareback riders that has ever hit this building. You can go back and look at the scores throughout the 10 nights — you wouldn't find arankerbarebackridingev- ery single night." Steer wrestler Tyler Waguespack entered the WNFR ranked third in the world standings, but it was clear who the best bulldog- gerwasoverthe10nightsin Las Vegas. The Gonzales, La., cow- boylefttheThomas&Mack Center with both his first gold buckle and WNFR av- erage title. "This is something I've worked for since I was little kid," Waguespack said. "Ev- ery day when I came home from school, my dad (Mike) andIgotinthepracticepen, andallthelonghoursandall the years of practice finally did pay off. I'm going to talk to my dad as soon as I can." Waguespack ran away with the WNFR average title, beating the field by nearly eight seconds with a 10-headtimeof41.9seconds. When the dust settled, the world standings weren't close, either. Waguespack finished with $298,676 — more than $70,000 clear of second-place Matt Reeves. "I like the sound of that," Waguespacksaidofhearing himselfannouncedasworld champion. "I'm not nor- mally short on words, but I reallylikethesoundofthat." Waguespack also took home the RAM Top Gun award, which goes to the WNFR competitor who wins the most money over the 10 nights in one event. His earnings total of $213,218wasnearly$18,000 more than O'Connell, and more than $20,000 clear of ShaneProctor, whowonthe bull riding average title. Tie-down roper Tyson Durfey entered the WNFR ranked 14th in the world standings, and wasn't nec- essarily one of the favorites to win his first gold buckle. Heworkedhiswayupthe standings by placing in six rounds, and when he split third in Round 10 with a 7.4-second run, Durfey fin- ished off an incredible run to the world title. He finished second in the WNFR average with a 10- head time of 94.0 seconds, andfinishedlessthan$4,000 aheadofMarcosCostainthe world standings. "I thought I had to win first or second in the round to win the world," Durfey said. "I really thought after Hunter (Herrin) went and got close to me in the av- erage and Marcos (Costa) was 7.4, I just didn't see any possible way that it could happen (win the world championship). I didn't crunch numbers be- cause I knew that would just put more pressure on me. This is unbelievable. I'm usually a really good communicator, and I'm in awe of what happened." Durfeyandhiswife,Shea, had their first child, daugh- ter Praise Royal, Sept. 1. Now, he has a gold buckle, and life is good. "So much work has been put into this," Durfey said of being a world champ. "I've been dreaming about this since I was a little kid. I used to wake up at 4 o'clock inthemorningandpractice beforeschool,andthenrope until midnight. This is just incredible." Barrel racer MaryBurger finished off a storybook season with her second world title, 10 years after the first time she won the goldbuckle.The68-year-old earned a total of $277,554, which was enough to hold off Amberleigh Moore by nearly $11,000. "Youknow,Ikepthearing from everyone that I have been an inspiration and it has meant so much to me," Burger said. "It's really all God's plan, and I'm liking His plan. I am so proud." Burger and her horse, Mo, led the world stand- ings for most of the season, and capped it with the ul- timate prize. "It was an amazing year," she said. "One that is hard to imagine, really, with set- ting a lot of new records, coming into the Finals with the No. 1 back number. Ev- erybody has been so kind. I'm so glad they are proud of me and Mo." Rodeo FROM PAGE 1 "Certainly I don't look at last year compared to this year, because it's two entirely different opera- tions, with what you're dealing with and how things are being done," Kelly said. "We always look at ev- erything on a weekly ba- sis to see how we can im- prove," Kelly added. "You look at the game yester- day, it's about making one more play than the other team." The play the 49ers did not make: converting on fourth-and-2, with Car- los Hyde getting stopped for no gain up the mid- dle, on their only over- time possession. The play the Jets (4-9) did make: Bilal Powell racing 19 yards through a haggard defense for a winning touchdown. Finishing games has been an impossible chore, outside of the Week 1 rout of the Rams, who allowed 14 points in the fourth quarter to the 49ers. Sun- day's loss was the third this season in which the 49ers squandered a 14- 0, first-half lead on their home field. The Dal- las Cowboys (Week 4) and Tampa Bay Bucca- neers (Week 7) won in comeback fashion those games. • The 49ers defense wilted while losing the time-of-possession battle against the Jets, nearly 42 minutes to 24 . Al- though Kelly's offensive scheme got stereotyped as a time-of-possession killer in Philadelphia, he noted that this season's unit isn't as fast paced. "We're not snapping the ball very fast," Kelly said. "You still have to make plays. Most of the time we're in the single digits on the play clock, because we're working it down, showing the right play, making sure we have the right pro- tection. We're not con- verting when we need to convert." The 49ers were 2 of 12 on third down against the Jets. "It doesn't matter how fast you break the huddle or how fast line up on the ball, (because) if you're not going to convert on third down, you're not go- ing to stay on the field," Kelly said. "It's a matter of making plays when you have to make plays." • Only three days after signing a contract exten- sion, tight end Vance Mc- Donald's season is done, the result of a left-shoul- der injury he sustained in Sunday's second quarter. McDonald was placed on injured reserve and his roster spot promptly got filled by offensive lineman Josh Allen, who the 49ers claimed off waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. McDonald's five-year contract extension Fri- day came after Kelly gave it his blessing. "When you look at the market for tight ends, kind of where he fits, you hope you can keep your own guys home, and that was the decision," Kelly said. "I don't negotiate con- tracts, but they asked me if I wanted Vance back, and I said yes." McDonald leads the 49ers with four touch- down catches and an av- erage of 16.3 yards per catch on 24 receptions. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 Scoreboard Football AMERICANCONFERENCE WEST DIVISION W L T Pct PF PA KansasCity 10 3 0 .769 302 255 Oakland 10 3 0 .769 358 320 Denver 8 5 0 .615 296 242 San Diego 5 8 0 .385 350 347 EAST DIVISION W L T Pct PF PA New England11 2 0 .846 349 230 Miami 8 5 0 .615 281 301 Buffalo 6 7 0 .462 325 301 N.Y.
