Enjoying the Journey-your highs and lows

[BARRYRAY]

Hey guys give us your Journey stories--my favorite game was GB-went to a sports bar and my best friend and next door neighbor showed, we had a fantastic male bonding party. I have two lucky charms--one is the mini-keg-I'm on my third one and the Direct TV games--we're 3-0 when I go to Cheddars to watch. I personally blame myself for Seattle last year, I was there for the first half, but we went home and watched the end at home--my bad, won't happen agian. We will win Saturday because its another Cheddars game-incidently they have the best $2.99 margarita on earth, and the foods good too...and I'm not leaving early. Like Romo says enjoy the journey, it has been a memorable year, I also hope they don't run Jessica off, oh she's hot in that pink jersey..

Highs-obviously the Packers game the week after TGiving-our best game of the year and finally showed the world Romo and the Boys are truely contenders.

Lows-the xmas Philly game last year-was so psyched b/c a win would clinch the NFCE for the first time in years, only to witness us lay an egg once again, this time to our most hated foe. Probably the worst xmas I ever had.

Christmas day 1995, the Super Bowl XXX team, Monday night Football. Emmitt Smith broke John Riggins' single season TD record when he got his 25th.

It was the Jerry McGuire game, though I didn't see any of the filming. Larry Centers hurdled one of our defenders. I forget who right now.

Deion Sanders was swiping footballs, getting Cowboys star players to sign them, and giving them to the kids in the handicapped section at Sun Devil Stadium. Probably my favorite memory from that game. I still respect him very much for that.

It was Buddy Ryan's last game as Cardinals Head Coach. A guy across from me had a sign, "stupid is as Buddy does."

I also had a sign. It was drawn by a buddy of mine. One of those carricatures with big heads and small bodies. It was of Jerry (I was still mad as hell at him) and Barry. Barry had a very brown nose and the wording (not suitable for the Zone) left little doubt how I felt.

Post game I went out to where the Cowboys bus was. Jerry and Barry both got a good look at my sign. The look on Switzer's face was priceless. he had a big ole smile waving to the Cowboys fans. Then he saw my sign.

Good times.

Thanks for bringing that up uke:

I would have to agree.

My only Journey story was back in the early 80's and I took my girlfriend to see them at the old Richfield Coliseum...7th row seat on the floor.

Things were going well til everyone started standing on their seats. Putting my left heel on my seat, and using my arms to gain momentum to get myself up, I inadvertantly backhanded the girl to my left right in the face.

I apologized.

I will use this year for my answers


Highs - watching Romo lead us to 12-2

Lows - losing... and almost losing.

Losing... this kind of made me think, I know, it hurts.

You think that all the Chicken Little fans around here are too worried about the Patriots and their perfect record?

In previous years where teams at the top would have 2-3 losses at this point do you think the same would be going on if we were 12-2 at the top?

The Pats are setting the bar this year and its pretty damn high. It seems like people see a 14-0 teams and ask, "why aren't we 14-0 since its possible?"

High - The Carolina Game last year, when Romo took his first step towards greatness. A team lives and dies with the QB position, and for the first time since Troy I honestly felt that this team had a leader. The rest is history.

Low - Carolina Panthers playoff game in 2003, prior to the game my mom informed me that my grandfather had died. Then I watched us get thoroughly dominated on both sides of the ball. Richie Anderson even fumbled that game, and he never put the ball on the ground. Easily my lowest point.

Ahhh ,you stole all my thunder. I was gonna come in here and talk about that time at Smirnoff, they came on the stage and I just started singing DON'T STOP BELIEEEVIN... HOLD ON TO THAT FEE--EE--EEELIIIIN. Everyone was going to laugh, then call me a moron, then go on with the thread topic. Okay, maybe no laughs.


Well played

12-2 is grand.

I wasnt complaining. I just dont like losing.

The Pats are gonna fall in the playoffs... I dont know when.... but they will. If it has to be against US in SB... then so be it.

Thank you.

Back handing an unsuspecting girl at the Journey concert is one of those stories I hold onto for an occasion such as this.

1. Buffalo Monday night game. Traveled from Detroit to Buffalo. Had sideline passes until Kick off, met Michael Irvin (all time favorite Cowboy) and witnessed the awesome finish....twice!

2. Minnesota. Traveled from Detroit to Dallas. Felt like I was beginning to feel like the bad luck charm, until the blocked FG by Canty. I was screaming at the top of my head when Watkins was running it in! I knew we won the game after that.

3. Detroit - home game. Once again, don't know why every game I attended this year required a post game visit to the cardiologist. After Witten's score my wife was like, We Won, but I wouldn't agree with her until the clock hit 0:00. Detroit always seems to give Dallas fits!

Obviously, it has been a wonderful year and these are memories I will never forget. Let's hope there will be more. PS, won't be attending any more games in person this year.
