The seats will be warm from us old timers . I've been a fan from '66 like Hagman and Tanglefoot. I'll look for you Ranching and Hayseed and the first glass of GlenLivet is on me . . . at least the 15 year stuff.

Haven't missed a game since. I'm the youngest in my family and no one else follows the sport. Roger, Drew, Too Tall and Randy sold me on this game....then I found out Tom Landry was born and raised 30 miles from me....I was hooked!
Football became my life and eventually, my livelihood....I can't wait for the season to start! Haters and homers, Salud! Let's get this party started!

I've been a fan since 1971, no easy trick growing up in Ohio in a family of Browns fans. I just found Landry and Staubach a lot more interesting than anything the Browns were doing, and I could never relate to the Steelers (closest team to where I lived) - what the heck is a "Steeler" anyway? The polka stuff, the towels, not for me.

Then my grandparents took me to Garland, TX to visit my grandma's sister in 1973 and I was totally hooked. We went to the Town East Mall in Mesquite, TX for a meet and greet thing with the Cowboys - Staubach was there. Got some Cowboys apparel and proudly wore back home in Ohio. Half a century later, I'm still here.

They took me back to Garland again in 1976 and 1978 - Grandpa took me to tour Texas Stadium. He wasn't a Cowboys fan but he loved his grandchildren. I ended up making many trips to see the Cowboys in the 90s and well into the 2000s. Jerry frustrates me but after 50 years I'm too old to switch teams, for better or worse.

Since 1974? So, you're the reason they didn't make the playoffs that year.....just joking.

I became a fan in 1970 because I felt sorry for them....true story.

I came to the U.S. in 1969 at the age of 13 from Scotland. I was intrigued with the game of football because the players wore uniforms with pads and masks that would remind me of the knights of the middle ages. They launched their bodies at each other, it was exciting to watch.

I didn't know how to play any American games but my new friends advised me to watch the Dallas Cowboys if I wanted to learn. They told me the Cowboys were a great team.

I watched them play the Vikings and they got slaughtered 54-13. I accused my friends of tricking me. They told me that the game was a fluke, the Cowboys had almost won two championships recently. I tried them again a few weeks later on a Monday night. They lost 38-0. They were so bad that the announcer, Howard Cosell, was making fun of them.

That's when I decided they were my team. I felt so bad for them.

As you know, they didn't lose another game that year until they lost the Super bowl on a last minute field goal. But I was hooked forever. I wanted them to win the following year so bad and they did!

Man, the 70's were a great decade to be a Cowboys fan!

This decade, the 2020's hasn't started off too bad, let's see what happens next!

I’ve been a fan since1976. I was 8.
My dads side of the family were all foreskin fans and that’s all I use to hear about.
I picked the Cowboys originally just to piss them off.
There has def. been some bad years and some real good years.
I don’t let it ruin my following week like I use to after a loss. I’m over it shortly after, now.
I’ll always pull for the Cowboys regardless. I still hate all the NFC east teams, even the dam Cardinals!
Go Cowboys!
