Loyalty and Pride are demonstrated not through ease or success, but through adversity and trial

[DallasCowboys2080]

In the wake of the demise of the Cowboys season on Sunday night (not technically I know and props to those who still believe we can find a way!) and in the thick of this current 6 game losing streak... I'd like to take this time to remind us all who are die-hard fans of the Dallas Cowboys about something Bob Strum wrote back in 2008. This has been posted a few times in the past so for some this is a reminder and for some maybe it's new but I figure It needed to be shared again considering what we are going through this season as Cowboys fans...

Cheers to all my fellow Die Hard Cowboy Fans out there! We may disagree at times with each other about different things but we all share that bond developed from a love of the STAR. The best got damn team this side of the milky way bar none!

It's times like these that I make it more of a special point to wear my Cowboys gear around hope some of you all feel the same way. The STAR doesn't hide with the rain. It shines brighter.

Bravo

This says a lot about being a fan. That's a profound thought about how everything else changes in life except the love of our team.

I've been ashamed by some of the fan reactions over the last two weeks.

Frankly, it's been quite embarrassing.

two weeks?

 

[Toruk_Makto]

two weeks?

Fair enough. But we've reached a low point for sure.

 

[iceberg]

Fair enough. But we've reached a low point for sure.

won't argue that. but then again, this is about the most disappointing season we've had in awhile. people are going to react accordingly. in many ways going through the 1-15 season was easier because we weren't expected to do well. this year...well it was supposed to be nowhere near the reality we've been handed.

and it sucks.

It's getting to the point where fans are turning on each other. And that's just not good.

Yeah, it doesn't feel like a Cowboys fan zone. Sean Payton is getting more love on here than our entire organization conbined.

Could you imagine this forum if it existed in 89? You would see get rid of Aikman and Jimmy Johnson threads all over the place.

Quite sad.

Suddenly everyone associated with the program is a bum.

Why? This joke of a team deserves all the criticism they get.

Thank you for a timely example.

 

[RunDMC]

Thank you for a timely example.

People like you amaze me.

This team has blown THREE straight football games.

For all the excuses they find ways to lose because that's what they do. That's what they've done for TWENTY years in a row.

It's every single year. The same old story. Stephen A is absolutely right when he says they're an accident waiting to happen. They find ways to lose games like no other team in pro sports. They break your heart. They get you to believe they can be something and in a flash they show why they've been mediocre, inept, and an absolute disgrace for the last two decades.

What do you expect fans to do? Just accept mediocrity? We're all passionate about this team and want to see them get back to their winning ways. Yet time and after time they disappoint us and break our hearts. It's so frustrating. I just don't understand why people kill this fan base for WHAT? For wanting things to get back to the way they were in the 90's? It's an absolute disgrace and embarassment how fall this franchise has fallen.

Win, lose, or tie... a Dallas Cowboys fan until I die. It amazes me how many "fans" on this board don't seem to reflect that sentiment.

Go fly a kite! This team is two coin clips away from sharing a lead in the division. Your sour grapes are not welcome. At least not by me.

Well guess what we're NOT. We've been in games that's great and we've found ways to lose these ball games because that's what we do. They SUCK.

They're closer to the number 1 pick overall than a division title.

I don't expect fans to "do" anything.

But you'd think the emotional outbursts and tamper tantrums would be things adults have grown out of.

I'm as disappointed as most on this board over the last six weeks yet alone the last two decades. I try to still objectively view the team. You won't see me call everyone associated with the team idiots. You won't see me bad mouth every single player who is out there giving his best. That's not productive. It's not entertaining. And frankly it's not very healthy.

Do you hear yourself? It's just whining. We have no control over a coin toss, get over it!
