40 years ago today

[CowboyinMD]

Doomsday II bested the Orange Crush. Goodness, has it really been 40 years?



Also: The NFC Championship @ SF ("Aikman...to Harper!) will be 25 years old on Wednesday. Funny thing about getting older: the latter doesn't seem that long ago, yet was only 15 years after '78.

Good thing that was then - Butch Johnson's TD wouldn't be a catch today.

Here too. How about the 1970 playoff win 5-0 over Detroit.

Was it a catch....Butch Johnson?

Great game to watch. Manster and Martin were ferocious and deserving of co-mvp award.

We're close to the same age.

I'm not so sure it was then, either.
Was Jeff Triplett refereeing that game?

 

[MojaveJT]

I wasn’t even born yet.

You beat me to it

I was 12 years old.

I watched our very first super bowl while stationed at Ft. Ord California.

Yeah, Dez's non-catch was waaaaaay more of a catch than Johnson's. But at that time, all you had to do is control the ball crossing the goal line and he did that.

Too Tall is one of my favorite Cowboys. Harvey Martin deserves to be in there too.

Cowboys Congregation says AMEN.
Too Tall was my 1st Cowboy hero as a kid.
Too Tall and Harvey are the greatest DE duo of all-time....they BOTH belong in the R.O.H. and Canton.

 

[Roadtrip635]

Harvey Martin not being included in the ROH is a travesty.

These kind of posts are bittersweet to me.

Great memories, but reminds me of how much time has passed. I was in my last year of college when this game was played... thanks for sharing.
