The 50+ Die Hard Fan Club

[john van brocklin]

55 years, though I dropped the diehard moniker in 2021.

I think long suffering is more appropriate,
Don’t you?

Hurtful

Not intentional, but these are all items that potentially enhance a mature man's life experience.

As for the Cowboys......theres no such help available

I'm just grateful I witnessed the reason this franchise is America's Team.

I feel bad for the 40-year-old fan of the Dallas Browns.

You know it!
At least we know what it used to mean
To be America’s team instead of America’s joke.

I don’t know about that!
Can’t we pay someone to lock Jerry in the basement?

What about Stephen?......can't have him as a replacement either

The plan has to involve both

Tell them both there is free pizza in the basement.
Lock the door, problem solved!

Thats true.....I think Jerry would drive 100 miles for a 10 cent hot dog.....or a $5 hooker.

Actually I might too.....for the latter

61 years for me.

No wonder you say the things you do.

I could have written this. Same number of years and sentiment. A few weeks back I informed my wife she was no longer to identify me as a Cowboy fan to others.

Ouch!
My cowboys gear is in the closet collecting dust.
I am too embarrassed to wear it out in public anymore.

1970 -2026

56 friggin years!

Wow, you deserve a metal!
Looks like you enjoyed 5 sb victories,
So there is that.

 

[TexasBoys2288]

60+ years. It has sucked for so long now it makes me sick. I might have to make sure I have plenty of whiskey at the house and take up heavy drinking again.

1970 -2026

56 friggin years!

Ditto. Super Bowl V year.

 

[Londonboy]

Same as me then when it landed on UK TV?

Yup
The other choices at the time were Songs of Praise, Antiques Roadshow and Highway with Harry Seacombe, I became an American Football fan by default and started rooting for Da Boys because they were in the1st highlights package and I liked their uniforms more than the other team.

 

[john van brocklin]

Since 1960 so
I’m not good at math I flunked sandbox

Well you get the record at 66 years!
And since the team is 66 years old that record can’t be broken!
Congratulations!

No question.

Congratulations!

I remember the ice bowl, like it was yesterday

 

[john van brocklin]

Just wanted to say that I really appreciated this thread (nice job JVB), It's actually makes being a Cowboy fan a little more tolerable when you hear from others that have seen the highs with Landry and Jimmy as well as endured the last 30 years of crap, I appreciate all the comments and likes as well. Hang in there guys!

You know, if it was not for this forum and the camaraderie I share with you folks I would be more checked out as a fan than I already am.
Thanks Zoners!

 

[ChuckA1]

At least I can say I watched all eight SB visits, cried during the early losses and celebrated hard for the five wins.

 

[poke]

60+. I remember Landry subbing in Meredith and Lebaron on alternate plays as a way to call plays. Probably watched before that since my Dad was a fan but have no memories

What's your excuse?
