Welcome to the 2012-2013 Cowboys Season! - Dallas Cowboys Forum

**Reality** · 07-30-2012

A month ago, it really started to sink in for me that the CowboysZone has been online for over 8 years. It was almost the same feeling you get when you realize you are older and suddenly it feels like time fast-forwarded through a part of your life. So much has happened in that time. The saddest memory I have is when we lost a wonderful friend and family member in CBZ40, who was a great man and, more importantly, a good friend to many of us. I also remember the passing of the Redskins safety, Sean Taylor, and the divisional support we showed to our rivals during that period. From the modified burgundy and gold theme on CowboysZone to the tremendous amount of sympathy and sincere condolences that were shared with Redskins fans, we showed the best of what Cowboys fans represent.

Now here we are about to start our 2012-2013 season and you can feel the optimism and excitement in the air. For many, its a new season, a blank slate, a new chance for the Cowboys to achieve something they have not been able to do for so many years. No matter your outlook, we all have a new season of football to look forward to and a great place to discuss it with CowboysZone! I have always said the CowboysZone staff and its users are what makes this site so great and that remains true.

Thank you for helping to make CowboysZone a great place for me to spend my time each day!

Simple gesture yet so very important.

Not enough words to describe my gratitude for Reality and the rest of the posters who make this place what it is.

Thanks!

+1. Can't express my sincere gratitude for all that is provided — for all of us here — much better than this.

Thank You!

A lot of people think I make it an awful place.

Reality has provided a wonderful forum for all of us and I miss working with him even as I enjoy the drop in my stress level. He is a really good person whom I do wish more people could get to know as I did.

The posters here make this place great. I have always said that, and I mean it. The hunt for every scrap of news and every possible topic for us fanatics to discuss.

People on both sides of the fence make this place great. It is a shame a select few bring some things down, but that is the Internet.

You make it an interesting place I'd reckon. It would be a boring forum if everyone agreed all the time.
