How We Named the Blog - "The Scoop Loop"
All right this blog took a little while to put together and there were some funny stories that took place when we were naming it and creating it. So I decided to tell you folks a few of these stories.
First off, Marshall failed to mention that this blog is a school assignment gone wild. But, so far, so good.
When naming the blog we started by brain storming about names like Buckaroo Blog or something revolving around the word vaquero. Then we googled them to find out if they were already taken.
It was funny some of the things that we found. For instance all the vaquero things were like Pedro's macho vaquero - we are not vaqueros yet, but we do try to be macho... There was also Buckaroo Barbies. With a name like that, we went right to their site. They were two sisters, and definitely attractive, but a little old for us. Plus, the post we read said one of them was getting married.
Then we started thinking about some phrases we've heard Buck Brannaman say, or something we've read in a Ray Hunt book. All we could think of at first was, "Engage the Hindquarters" - and as a title that just didn't seem right. we thought about ''think'' or ''soft feel'' but neither sounded right .
So we thought about brands like M bar M or 2M lazy M but we decided that if we want to register a brand we don't want to have to rename the blog.
Finally we thought about roping as we some times tend to do and that led to roping shots like ''johnny blocker'' or the ''SCOOP LOOP''! we all liked it so that's what it became and the name will push me and Marshall to get better at a shot nether of us throws very well.
