We put together another nDepth – Stories of the Ages piece for Sunday. It’s called, “The Ride,” and it focuses on the most famous “Eight Seconds in Rodeo History” when Freckles Brown stayed atop Tornado in 1967.

The story appeared on the front page of The Oklahoman on Sunday and was featured prominently on NewsOK.

I’m no rodeo aficionado, but I really enjoyed this piece by contributor Ron J. Jackson Jr.

I spoke on the phone this morning with a true rodeo fan who said he was there that night in 1967. He said that Jackson had “everything right” in his accounts and that it was a “great article.”

I agree. Reading the story of Freckles Brown and Tornado is worth the time. If you haven’t read it yet, do so today.

And make darn sure you take the handful of minutes to watch the great video, narrated by Bryan Painter and Doug Sauter.
