The Lads traveled to Fort Worth yesterday to see some real longhorns at the Stockyards and get a touch of true Texas flavor. They’re still in training to referee soccer matches at Dallas Cup, but they also had time for a little fun and tourism before games begin Saturday.

They purchased western duds and headed back out last night to Red River Saloon, for some Wrangler-style boot-scootin’ and mechanical bull-riding. They were moving slowly this morning.
