The Road to the Announcer's Stand: Cade Passig on Life These Days, Announcing Ropings, and Roping For a Living
About this episode
Cade Passig shares his journey from crew member to announcer and the importance of family in the sport of roping.
It took Cade Passig years of working every job on the crew before he found his was to the microphone announcing for Mathews Land and Cattle. Growing up with a rope in his hand, Passig never wanted to do anything else—but rope. That led to life now: being the "conductor" at some of the biggest jackpots in the country, being a student of the game in both announcing and heeling steers, and being a dad to a little one who is already ate up with the sport. On this episode of The Score, Passig talks us through how he grew up and the grind that it was, how he found his was onto the M.L.C. crew, and how even though he doesn't hit the rodeo road "full time", he wouldn't change a thing. He takes listeners back to he and Chris Francis' win of the 2018 Bob Feist Invitational and how that helped shape his career, and what growing up with guys like Francis around made him realize how important raising his son, Hardy, in the same way truly is. This listen is long, but worth it, as is expected for a guy who ropes and talks for a living.
