Well since I didnt jump on tickets like I tried to tell my wife last SATURDAY, I wasnt about to pay 600 bucks, so IM at home. Today, for the first time ever, the "You Are In Cowboys Country," Flag is hanging out front. I brought out the helmet, wife made her girly sign read "We Dem Boys, Got my T.O. and Dez little toys out on the mantle, we got the pregame menu figured out, wife just got back from store with a fresh bottle of Vodka and Triple sec for pregame Kamikaze shots. She is even taking down the family photos from our living room and bringing down our Cowboys pictures. The 1st two I ever owned were given to me by my deceased father-in-law, a framed autographed picture of Troy, then one of Emmitt.

I hope we win, but we could lose. But it is games like today that make being a fan so special. Friend and family are coming over for what is essentially another holiday in my household.

Jimmy has his "How bout those Cowboys," phrase that became world famous.


The one I used as a coach is, "It can't only be fun if you win." Well that is my approach today. I damn sure want to win more than anything, but one think that is in my control today, you can guarantee we will have fun in my house today.

Sounds like you're all set!!! I'm deciding which jersey to wear today. I have Aikman, Romo, E. Smith, D. Woodson, and Zeke's. My Cowboys' wreath is always on my den wall as part of my room decor, as well as a commemorative plaque of the last game played at Texas Stadium (that game was bad, though); I also have my D. Bryant doll on display on one of my den shelves, along with a mini helmet signed by Jay "Rat"Liff. LOL

im bringing a bunch out... if things go our way, I leave it on. Things not going well, I switch em up. Might start with my Dez Bryant jersey today, that and my Mike Irvin 1994 jersey are my 2 favorites. I did get a CeeDee Lamb jersey this year, so if he gets in the endzone, Ill put it on.

I haven't decided home or sports bar...

i have to consider back in 2018 Rams 2nd round playoff game i decided to break the norm and go to a sports bar and well we all know what happened..that 2nd qtr was brutal had 2 rams fans next to me and philly fan behind me..

now I have to decide go we are my colors in support at a sports bar or play it safe at home.

Or i could uber up to ATT, about 8 miles from me and watch with fans at the watch party..havent decided yet.

i put out my rotating cowboys helmet on one side of our tv....and a autographed mini helmet on the other.
each season i pick a player and use it the whole yr.
last yr was too tall...this season its bob lilly.
closer to game time i'll put out my football field table runner and fill my cowboys snack helmet with stuff.
my elvis stool is in place close to the tv which allows me to jump up easier when things are goin our way....or not.
gonna wear my cowboys against the world t-shirt.
this house in nw okc has been ready since the end of the wild card win.
GO☆COWBOYS!

I would be at AT&T. That crowd was huge and it would be like being at the actual game. PLUS, if we win, its a party after. I bet they even have live music playing.

I am prepared as well.

I have my underwear out on the bed that I wore when they beat the Bucs. Before the ladies start swooning, they're boxers. I am a gentleman, not a throw caution to the wind Beau Brummell and I want the Ladies of the Forum to be able to keep their minds on the game, not wonder about how high the rise is on the thighs my briefs and are these actually more of a thong? I am putting their needs above mine.

And yes, they were washed since that game............so I could wear them every day since for luck.

We should all enjoy every minute of this ride.

I actually enjoy viewing it a lot more being an underdog. I was more nervous watching the 90s Cowboys because it was ours to lose.

A loss last week would have been devastating but if we lose today I’ll just think, “ what or who can we get to move up next year”………I’ve never though this roster was complete to be the best in the league

How were you able to preserve Elvis's stool for so long? Did you vacuum seal it or was it naturally preserved from the Peanut Butter and Banana sandwiches?

That’s a rare keepsake for sure
