Poll: Were You Born Before Or After Super Bowl XXX?

[Thomas82]

I was a sophomore in high school the last time the Cowboys won a Super Bowl.

Been a Cowboys fan since about birth...I was buying pencils from the pencil machine at school that had NFL teams and players on them trying to get as many Cowboys ones as I could in the first grade. I begged for quarters every morning from my parents...I was 20 when that Super Bowl occurred, great time to be a Cowboys fan.

These bad boys were everything 1st-3rd grade, luck of the draw 2 for .50 cents :

I had a dog named Haley. She could really get after the mailman (two bites and 468 pressures) but she was crazy.

I was 26 in 96. 1970 baby and saw a whole lot of good Cowboys ball my first 25-26 years

The franchise played in its last Super Bowl on January 28, 1996, WAAAY back before Super Bowls were played in February

I wish they would just reference Super Bowls by the year.

Anybody that missed living through the 3 Super Bowl wins in 4 years, really really missed out.

I attended training camp in 1992 prior to the first Nineties Super Bowl. The fan attendance was minimal making it easy to see the action up close.

I was certain that Jerry/Jimmy were going to win in a big way. I didn't know it would be 3 SBs in the next 4 years (Yes, I give Jimmy credit for the 95 SB even though he was gone. He built the team an instilled such an overwhelming work-ethic and winners mentality that his players basically coached themselves for a couple of years after he departed.

I even had a conversation with Jerry and Jimmy at the 93 TC. Jimmy was driving the golf cart to practice and Jerry was the passenger. Jerry made Jimmy wait while he talked to me and my girlfriend. I think Jerry enjoyed looking at her.

Seeing Erik Williams in practice was the highlight for me. He's the scariest dude I've ever seen in person.

I went to camp in 92, 93 and 95 and several in later years. Erik Williams almost killed Haley, literally. Haley tried his head-slap move on EW at which point EW grabbed him with one hand and slammed him to the ground in one of the most violent moves I've ever seen. I never saw Haley line up against EW in that camp or any others again.

Larry Allen was not nearly as scary as EW. LA would blow defenders up then move on. EW on the other hand appeared think he was a GI during WWII and the defenders were the Germans. It got worse when they practiced against the Raiders.

I hate to admit it but I was born long before Super Bowl 1....

Me and the Superbowl are the same age!

I was born in 81 so I watched the last 3. In 96 was in 8th grade but didn’t really start understanding the game till high school playing and studying and learning from coaches. It’s different watching now I still like the Cowboys but I love football. I don’t think I’d enjoy them as much today as I did with that youthful innocence.

 

[SlammedZero]

I was born in 79, uh, I mean 1998.

born in '86. 1993 season was the first year I vividly remember watching

Same here! Was born into a Cowboys family, so, I always knew what was going on but didn't really care to invest a ton of my attention until that year. Been a rabid fan ever since.
