PRCA Rodeo Announcer T.C. Long will return to the Coleman PRCA Rodeo coming up June 6-8. He was born and raised in the small West Texas town of Andrews but now calls the East Texas town of Athens home. The sport of rodeo was always a part of T.C.’s youth, being that his father was both a calf roper and a team roper. T.C. began participating in rodeos at the age of 5, and he attended rodeos throughout Texas and New Mexico. T.C. discovered his true calling at the age of 14 when he was asked by family friend to announce the activities during a small, local playday. He picked up the microphone which is where he began learning the behind the scenes work that is necessary in producing events. He began to expand his repertoire to include junior rodeos in the states of Texas and New Mexico. It didn’t take long before rodeo producers discovered his talents. In 2001, fresh out of high school, a stock contractor that T.C. had worked with during several junior rodeos took a chance and asked T.C. to announce the largest open rodeo produced by his company, and that is all it took to introduce T.C.’s voice to the world of rodeo. In December 2002, he was approached by Booger Barter Productions, the nation’s 2nd largest team roping production company, to become a full-time employee and announce all of their team roping competitions. He then moved to Athens, Texas. T.C. was accepted into the PRCA as a Pro Rodeo Announcer in October 2005 at the young age of 22. Hear T.C. nightly starting with Mutton Bustin' at 7:15pm through the rodeo from 8:00 to 10:00pm June 6-8 at the 87th Coleman PRCA Rodeo.
