HoustonChronicle.com - Bronc-riding cowboy hails from the other Paris

"
[...] Jayne said his life in Texas has fulfilled a lifelong dream. Every time he gets atop a bucking bronc, it's almost as if the horse challenges him to show what he has, he said.

'Your brain explodes and your heart comes out of your chest and you see colors everywhere,' he said. 'Toward the end of the ride you start coming back to the real world, but for about five seconds you are really somewhere else.'

'He had potential here that he probably would not have had in France, both academically and through rodeo as well.' Rigby [, his host father, ] said.

Bubba Jayne shows that even people from France can become true Bubbas.

Now I'm wondering just what Rigby meant by "academic potential that he would not have had in France". If he was thinking the potential to be shot and killed while attending school or an increased chance of becoming obese, I would certainly have to agree. Also, he wouldn't have to take a course in Philosohpy in Texas, as Jayne would have in France.

I wonder what Jayne would think of my Government textbook from the '80s?
