My history of being a Cowboys fan covers everything from they day they were conceived. The posed question isn't hard to answer. As legendary as the Cowboys became in the Tom Landry era, no team has topped what the 90's team did by winning 3 SBs in 5 years and only the Pats have duplicated it. So that's my answer. The humble beginnings of the Dallas "next years champs" Cowboys of the last '60s and early '70s was an interesting era. The winning ways of Staubach's '70's Cowboys was in my eyes the good guys to the Steeler's bad guys and it is that rivalry that won me over as a young man. Under appreciated Danny White and his Cowboys of the '80s broke my heart more times that I care to recollect but it was still an era I look back on fondly. The era of Jerry Jones started poorly with the rude dismissal of Tom Landry but he purchased a sinking ship that was losing money, so to see how quickly he righted that ship in only 4 short years seems almost as if he made a deal with the devil... maybe he did. The past 23 season have been a hard price to pay if that was the bounty for the 3 SBs in 5 years in the '90s. Let's hope the best era is just ahead of us. Go Cowboys!
The absolute glory years. Staubach, Dorsett,
The explosiveness of Dandy Don Meredith hooking up with Bob Hayes was exciting. The 80s came very close to greatness if not for Danny White's injury. We had great players and coaches from both the 70s and 90s. I loved both eras. I grew up with Cowboys from their inception. I watched Landry, Staubach, Dorsett, Lilly, White, et al, define the team's greatness. They are part of my life like family. I thought the 90s were more more dominant, but watching the Cowboys emerge in the 70s was fantastic.
I would have loved to have seen Bob Hayes, Bob Lilly, and Randy White cook in their primes or one of Roger's comebacks.
Me too. Back then other fans were really jealous of us and I loved it.When Roger the Dodger and touchdown Tony D was playing... Ed too-tall Jones, Harvey Martin, Randy White... those were the years my friends, I thought they'd never end...
What was so great about the 90's was we finally got even with all the humiliation we had to go through from the previous few years. I remember getting laughed at in malls when I would buy Cowboy stuff. The feeling of winning that SB in 1992-1993 was just perfect. I imagine our next one will feel even better.
Definitely! I grew up in DC era. During the Skins Super Bowls in the 80s. I went to Landry’s last win and Jummy’s first at RFK. Took so much heat. When I went back wearing Super Bowl swag it was the best revenge I could have. I’ll never forget Jimmy’s first win and how pissed the fans were they lost after the game. I gloated after taking so much trash beforehand.
