I always watched games with my dad since the day I was born, 1988 yeah I'm a youngun. I was always quotted as saying "eightman" instead of Aikman, I mean to a little kid it made sense. Troy is my hero and always will be. I wear #8 in baseball and #80 in football. But the first game I actually remember watching was superbowl XXX, so it started with good memories then went down hill. But since then I have only missed watching 1 game, the loss between the skins and cowboys a couple of years ago, I was vacationing in Denver and the boys weren't on tv, stupid Broncos.

Anyway thats my Cowboy fan history

Damn Pops! I will stay off your lawn!

I'll admit that I didn't start "following" the Cowboys until 1991 but my parents were diehard fans since the 70's.

Haven't missed a game since the playoff game against the Bears in 1991. If I can sit through the Dave Campo years I can sit through anything.

I've been a fan since the '77 - '78 season when the Boys beat Broncos in the SB. I lived and died through the promising and dissappointing 80's. The only game I've been to is the win against the Skins at RFK in the 1-15 '89 season. Went with a couple Skins fans. It was a sweet ride home!!! The early to mid 90's were fantastic. Would have been four SBs in four years if then Niner Deion Sanders had been flagged for PI against Irvin in the NFC Championship game. Suffering through the recent drought. You guys and gals have made it interesting the last couple years mainly reading the comments and getting some inside scoop. Have high hopes for BP and the up and coming Boys. Looking forward to victory over the Skins this Sunday and on to the playoffs!!!

However, I don't remember Staubach at QB at all -- only Danny White and after -- so I may not have been truly a diehard until 1980.

Also don't think I saw them in the Super Bowl in 78, or even knew what a Super Bowl was, so I didn't jump on any bandwagon then either. They were just one of the first 2 teams I ever watched, the other being the Giants.

Yeah I'm roughly in the same boat. I remember Staubach, but was too young to really 'get it' I was 8 in '78.

Sadly, the first real strong memory of my cowboy fandom was that damn "Catch"

1966-67 are my earliest memories...

Well I'd love to be able to say i've been a fan before the early 90's however i'm only 21 now. I can't place exactly when I became a Cowboys fan, but I remember the Redskins won the Super Bowl in 1991 (I'm from Maryland in the heart of Skins country) and my family rooting for them rebelling towards the Cowboys. I've been a Cowboys fan for practically my entire life and have enjoyed almost every minute.

[Cowboyfan81]

Born in 1969, fan since the age of five, no joke!

On a side note: While bandwagon fans irritate me, what really ticks me off are people who say that your not a true fan if your not from, or live in, the same area as your favorite team. I've lived in California most of my life, and I lived and breathed Cowboys Football for just about all of that time!

35 and you still wear Cowboy jammies? With footies and everything?

[WoodysGirl]

Been a fan since forever. Never knew any other team besides the 'boys.

However, I don't see nothing wrong w/folks jumping on during the 90s run. The star is big enuff to hold everybody...

More fans just make it shine that much brighter, IMO.

I was born in 1980. The first Cowboys game I remember was against the St. Louis Cardinals somewhere around 1985. Been a fan ever since, though it was hard to keep my 9 year old attention span on the 1-15 version. But the 90s definitely made up for it. I believe my first favorite player was Too Tall Jones. I just thought the nickname was cool.
