I have the best readers in the WORLD!
Tuesday night, I received an email from the Professional Bull Riders, Inc. inviting me to meet Cord McCoy at the Mesquite Rodeo next week!
The sound you all heard that night was my jaw dropping to the ground.
Needless to say, I am super excited. I am going to bring a Flip Cam and video an interview with the alarmingly adorable cowboy. Please email me questions and I’ll attempt to get to the nitty gritty about why America loves the McCoy brothers.
Off the top of my head, I’m thinking:
1. Where does the phrase “oh my gravy” come from?
2. What is your favorite Bachelor-related website?
3. Why are green beans so disgusting and often smell like body odor?
Clearly, I’m going to need some help from you guys. Sound off in the comments section or drop me an email.
Mesquite better get ready, because HERE I COME!
Yeah Lincee – love me some rodeo cowboys! For those who live in the Dallas area, can you let us know what date you will be there?
You go girl! You can always count on your Oklahoma peeps to get things done! Or in this case maybe it was actually TX peeps — I’m not sure where the Professional Bullriders Asso. is based out of, but glad that someone came through for you — and in less than 48 hours, that’s impressive!
…. at any rate, go get ‘em!
I am so jealous! I am going to PBR in May but I doubt that I will be so lucky as to interview some adorable cowboys. Have fun!
Q: What comes between you and your Wranglers?!
Oh. My. Goodness. That’s awesome. Do you need help? B/C I happen to live in the DFW.
1. i think “oh my gravy” is a euphanism for “oh my god”!!!
2. your website is my favorite bachelor website….=-)
3. sorry…but i like green beans. can’t comment on that! lol
btw….ever thought of covering the reality show called playing it straight! that’d be some funny stuff!
Lincee! Don’t you dare talk about vegetables or stinky smells! You’re meeting Dreamboat Cowboy! Just be yourself and have fun! OMG, I am so excited for you. I feel like my bff just called and told me the guy she’s been crushing on has finally asked her out. Have fun Lincee!
They are both HOT! But ask them why their jeans bunch up around their knees!
Have a great time
awesome. i sort of want to meet you there and watch it all play out. would that be weird?
i love the mesquite rodeo. every time i have friends come to town to visit me, i take them there…cuz really, why wouldn’t i?!?!?! 
have fun, can’t wait to see the flip cam interview!!
Awesome! I love them!!! I can’t wait to hear how it goes!
These are the first REAL men to grace IHGB in a long time.
That’s so exciting that someone came through for you..and so fast! I read their profiles on the AR site and they both seem to love the Lord. That makes them even more awesome!! I know you will do a great job interviewing them. Can’t wait to read all about it!!
Great news! I knew that someone would come through for you!!
Ask them their favorite co-Amazing Racers…
Ask them if they want to come to a IHGB happy hour in Houston…
Ask them if they like older women…
Can’t wait to see what happens! Have fun!
Lincee, you can send all your rejected green beans my way, because my one-year old niece LOVES them. Like almost as much as she loves Krispy Kreme donuts LOVES them. It’s very, very odd…
Lincee, I feel that i could lure you to the darkside with my modern green bean casserole. Lots of cheese to cover up any “yucky” beans. HA
Oh. My. Awesomeness!!! You should let one of us Dallas girls set up a Lincee Ray fan club happy hour while you’re in town.
Following the Texas State Fair last year, where my 5 year old son participated in (and subsequently smoked) the PeeWee stampede bull riding event (on a stick bull, complete with ears, when pressed, that moo-ed), aforementioned son said, from his car seat on the way home, “Mama, I wanna take bull riding lessons.”
Me: “Ok, sweet boy. I’ll check into that at the YMCA.”
So, with all of that said, my question for Cord McCoy is, where can a now 6 year old boy learn bull-riding?
Not that his mama would let him…
Hope you have a blast and can’t wait to read your report.
Question for Cord: Why don’t you have a TV or radio in your house? (According to AR bio page). I think that could be a stumbling block for any potential romance, Lincee
Oh my gravy! I’m so excited for you and can’t wait to see the interview. I love those boys on AR. They are such a hoot to watch. I’m an Ohio girl, but have a soft spot for a good looking cowboy.
Love it! Maybe CBS will televise your wedding like Jason and Molly!
We don’t like our 12 yr old to say “Oh my God,” so he’s picked up the “Oh my gravy.” Makes me smile!
From a fellow Houstonite, go out there and represent us well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you single? Looking? WIlling to move to Texas?
I think that about sums up everything your readers would need to know!
what’s up with their jeans? They look about two sizes too long. Is boot cut no longer favored by the rodeo crowd?
Random thought: If they don’t have a television or radio in their house, how did they become aware of (and fans enough of to try out for) the Amazing Race in the first place? just curious….
You are so lucky!!
The other ones I know are naughty!!
How about a cheesy pick-up line? “Are you from Tennessee? Because you’re the only Ten – I -See!! ”
Have fun!
And since your readers are so good…I’m trying to get a date with Kenny Chesney! Seriously!
Good for you, lasso him in!!
On another note, you will be blogging the debacle on Monday won’t you? Oh, sorry, I guess I meant wedding…
I cant wait to see you with them!! The only question you need to ask is, “are you married? Do you wanna be?!!
OMG! That is SO cool! What a fast turnaround time
Have fun!
Oh, my, awesomeness!! Good for you – have fun!!
Now which one is Cord?
And to the person who asked about why their jeans are so long, that is just the way real cowboys wear them. They don’t want to sit down or ride a bull or a horse and have it look like they are wearing high-waters so they wear them extra long. Used to drive my mother crazy during my bull rider stalking (I mean dating) days.
Wow, they are adorable! But they look REALLY short! That would ruin it for me…..
Have fun and be careful!
So jealous! Have tons of fun. I’m sad I didn’t get to the PBR in Denver this year. I never miss it!! I really am convinced I was a bull rider in another life. I mean…I am a master on that mechanical (and no, not in the sexy slow way…the rock em jock em I’m a bad ass way!!)
ps…I loved how someone told what Oh My Gravy means. Goodness, I’m pretty sure you are aware of the intent of the comment. too funny..
Lincee- I LOVE these guys on the Amazing Race. I am completely pulling for them. Best of luck with the meeting and interview and please share! Too cute.
Leslie (29) – Thanks for the explanation re their dorky jeans. I still think they make these boys look ridiculous. Frankly, I can’t get past the pants. They make them look about 5 ft 2 in tall, which is not a good look even it you are cute (sorry short men!). And, what is the point of ironing them for a knife’s edge crease when they look like wrinkled old lady stockings from the knees down? I’d rather them look like are like highwaters when they sit on their bull (or whatever) — it’s not like you are gonna see white socks — they’re wearing boots for pete’s sake!
wow cowgirl — you’re just giving the jean-thing way to much thought…. let it go… you said it yourself – you’re not a cowgirl — don’t ‘dis’ what you don’t know/understand
Amen #34!
Yes #34!
Lincee + Cord / lonely Jet x your “friend” lindsay=perfect buckin’ double date.
just.sayin.
#29 Leslie – the one in the red shirt is Cord
Adorable! I’d like to know how old they are and if they win
–Ask him if Jeff and Jordan are nice (I’m hoping they are b/c BB + Amazing Race crossover = awesomeness!).
–Ask him how Jet was able to keep his hat on during the bungee jumping.
–Ask him about playing poker with the Travelocity gnome–that was hilarious!
For my 2 cents: Cord is cute but Jet is HOT!
Have fun and be safe! This Dallas girl is cheering for you!
I love how they defy stereotypes of cowboys on the show and how they seem to be one of the most open-minded teams and also the best at actual team work – if I were going to get to ask them questions I would probably ask them about that: where do they get their open-mindedness and did they hope to defy stereotypes when they got on the show or is it just a natural consequence of how cool they are?
I was surprised to learn that they have never drank beer before? What’s better than a beer on a hot day?! So please ask them what they drink after a hot day in the sun, tending to cattle, bailing hay and riding bulls. Let’s imagine it ladies….they’re all sweaty and hot so they take off their shirts…
Lincee,
How did their parents come up with the names Jet and Cord?
How did the cowboy hat stay on during the bungee jump?
Is Phil that adorable in real life? I LOVE him!!
Please, oh please, ask them about the Cowboy hat rain protectors. I never knew such a thing existed. Where can a person find such a thing?
Seriously, Lincee, when will they/you be here? I would LOVE to go to that rodeo!!!
How in the world can you bungee jump with a cowboy hat on & the hat doesn’t come off? Was it glued to his head?
I’m laughing at all the people asking (or complaining!) about the jeans and the length and extra knee room… I guess none of you have ever ridden a horse in jeans!
(Gotta be true for “not a cowgirl)
I tell ya, try sitting on a horse in jeans without enough stretch & extra fabric, oh my OUCHness. Yuck.
Lincee, agree on the hat protector question. But don’t worry about the no tv thing, because a man with no tv focuses more time & energy on his significant other! (All good!)
Have fun!!!
Amen Chickpea! I am live around cowboys, horses, manure. Our small town has the best little rodeo in the state, so first off cowboys are not always short, but they are all HOT! And yes, I am married to a part-time cowboy (we live on a ranch, but work in the city. Raise horses, chickens, and kids) and I have to tell you, Wranglers and chaps are the only way to go. You need the extra length to protect your legs too tp protect your legs when on a horse and working cattle. Lincee, remember to breathe and have fun. Can’t wait to see the video and hear your input. I haven’t had a chance to watch the Amazing Race this season, but glad to know that they are still in the race.
For heavens sake, just don’t offer to let him land his plane on your landing strip any time. If you avoid that, you should be ok.
You go girl! My daughter laughs each time they say “Oh My Gravy!”–she would also like to know what it means.
Have a great time! It’s time YOU got to be The Bachelorette!!
What is the lag time between when the Race was really run and now? I assumed it was pretty close to when it was viewed….which I hope isn’t true…cuz I want the Cowboys to win!
Anywho – I want to know what the guy in the bar was saying to them that made them laugh so much!?
Have fun Lincee and when will the Idol blogs start???
Most cowboys wouldn’t be caught dead in a hat protector. They would just wear it in the rain and let it have the “lived in” look. But rain is not very good on felt hats. Maybe our little cowboy friends have a tiny bit of metrosexual in them. My dad had to wear a cowboy hat for years for his job and they provided them with rain protectors for their hats.
Oh My Gravy – – they’re HOT!!!
SO cool you’re gtetting to meet these guys! Went to the Feb PBR event in Dallas, but Cord was already doing TAR. He is always a hoot to watch on PBR — he’s ALWAYS upbeat & never without a smile, even when bucked off before 8 secs. He’s been even more entertaining with Jett on TAR. They have awesome attitudes!
Potential questions:
1. which bull has he ridden for his career highest score?
2. How (& why) have he & Jett been able to run The Amazing Race in boots, hats & starched jeans? That’s a feat in itself!
3. What was the deciding factor to take a break from PBR to particpate in TAR?
Cannot *WAIT* for your recap & video on meeting that super sweet duo!
and P.S., most bull riders are shorter than the average athelte guy. They have better odds at riding bulls with a more compact physique than your average 6 ft guy. too long of limbs = centifrugal force to be body-slammed off a 2000 lb bull…
so completely unrelated…but I think of this blog often when I am feeding my child…he is 11 mo and I have given him pureed green beans recently and I honestly felt like a really mean mean mom. I felt so guilty I threw some of them away…I did figure out that if I mix them with pears they don’t really resemble green beans any more…but once they are gone I am not going to torture him any more..
Okay, how much influence do you have over me Lincee…that I have never watched the AR and had to find it online just to see who you were so excited about! So now I will be watching the AR!
By the way, I still like green beans but your snake head pic just about put me off them forever!
