OKC by the Numbers

I had collected some very cool quotes about math and numbers, but none of them quite worked here and then I lost them anyway.  In spite of that, here are some numbers that interest me about the Oklahoma City PBR.

47+ bulls: 0   (Last week - 0, year to date: 2)

46+ bulls:  0  (Last week - 0, year to date: 4)

45+ bulls:  4  (Shepherd Hills Tested, Pure Smoke, Smackdown, BigTexTrailers.com AKA Moon)

44+ bulls:  14  (Last week - 16)

90+ rides: 2 (J.B. Mauney, Ryan Dirteater)

89+ rides: 1

88+ rides:  2

What surprises me about the 89 and 88 point rides:  That there are always so few of them.

Overall riding percentage for the event: 31.45

Riding percentage in OKC last year:  42.75 (It was the 6th event of the year, as it was this year.)

Number of short rounds so far this year:  11

Most short rounds ridden in by any one rider:  6 (Ty Pozzobon, Luke Snyder, Ryan Dirteater)

Number of short round bulls those three have ridden, in order: 0, 1, 2

Most money won in 8 seconds this weekend:  $4,700 (J.B. Mauney and Rubens Barbosa)

Highest riding average so far this season:  Still Silvano Alves - 70.59% (down from 78.57 last week)  (12 out of 17 bulls attempted)

Second highest average:  J.B. Mauney and Valdiron de Oliveira - 70%  (14 out of 20 bulls attempted)

Number of bulls ridden by J.B. Mauney in the last two events:  6 out of 9 attempted

Number of bulls ridden by Luke Snyder in the last two events:  1 out of 7 attempted

Number of people wondering if all that riding around America in a Ford truck might not be a good idea:  At least one.

Number of points Oliveira trails Mauney in the world standings:  39.25

Rides in each regular round: 11 /10 / 3 / 12 / 3

Riders with four rides:  1

Number of tweets I promised to make this week:  3

Number of tweets I made:   None.  I am fairly certain this trend will continue.
