David:
I think they can be as the two brothers in TARLA, getting a bad result due to a mistake... I don't know. I don't see these brothers as Sam & Dan at all... We'll see what do they show.

theschnauzers:
As we've seen in other seasons (Marge and Luke, Dan and Sam), when one of the team members are long-time fans of TAR and know the show's pitfalls well, the team that is otherwise fit physically, emotionally, and mentally, can do really well.

These two brothers are accomplished in their field ahd have worked together as a team for a long time. I found one article online mentioning how they were both champions in rodeo competition together when they were 14/15, and this is 15 years later.

These guys are competitive, don't like to quit, and know each other well.  And they will do well as a result.

Cord has a web page here:

Lots of photos, video, history.

For those who don't know, he had a serious skull fracture in 2004 and had a long arduous recovery.

It is especially nice to welcome them both to TAR, and wish them well on the journey!!
