NMSU calf roper loses finger, still ties calf in 8.6

From the NMSU Rodeo FaceBook page:

CNFR Update: Paeden Underwood started a good ride but his bareback horse triumphed this time.

Bryce Runyan was a 9.2 in the tie-down roping moving him to 3rd in the average, he should come back solid in saturdays short-round.

Bo Simpson was 8.6 in the tie-down, currently splitting 3rd in the round. However, while dismounting to tie his calf, Bo cut his right ring finger off after the first joint. Talk about tough, cuts his finger off and still makes a smokin run. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Until tomorrow night... wish us luck and GO AGGIES!

As a rodeo coach and CNFR Production Manager, I can say I have never had to stop a rodeo before to find a finger..
