Growing Up When Was Your Pinnacle Cowboy Moment?

[Carl23]

I was at this game. Great answer! This was really a defining moment in setting up our SB run the following year!

I was at that game also. Great time! Plus, that was the only time my dad let me drink while underage while in public (19 at the time). 2 beers and I had a nice buzz.

I feel sorry for this generation of fans who have been subjected to awful football introductions from computer generated robots and even worse, Cee-Lo.

yeah,, that's just silly.

Mine was SB VI the first Cowboys game I ever watched been hooked ever since.

Cee lo Green and Jamie Dukes must have been separated at birth.

It really is depressing for younger fans (such as myself). I was born in late '89, so technically I was around and a "fan" for the glory years in the early 90's, but can't say I have any memories or say I fully knew what was going on at that time.

By the time I was a "true fan" and fully understood the game and knew all the players it was about the year 2000 when Camp started and Aikman left. So yeah, it's been a long and tough road without any real "pinnacle" moment. Oh, and did I mention I live in the heart of Eagles fan territory? Good times all around as a Cowboys fan for me lol...hopefully this is the year they give me that pinnacle moment.

A 70 yard slant from Aikman to Harper.

This.

That play, and the Brad Sham call of that play, to this day give me goosebumps.

Having started being a Cowboys fan in 1988 and watching them go 3-13 and 1-15 and knowing that they'd been the laughing stock of the league my first couple of years as a fan to that moment...the moment when you knew they'd just beaten a 49ers team that I remember people saying they wouldn't be able to beat that year. I remember all my friends and people at school and everything saying that Dallas was too young, too inexperienced, that they'd never beat the Niners in San Fran that year.

Then that play....that magical play...and you knew. You knew right there that Dallas had just done it.

That is why I said call me weird. I found the 1993 game a lot more satisfying as a win, simply because of my disgust for the 49ers and the fact they still never seemed to acknowledge we came right out and whipped them on their own homefield the year before.

Then again, I had already seen the team advance to the Super Bowl before. It was almost like we took our rightful place again.

Haha, I remember my uncle calling right after Jimmy made that "3 inches remark" before the game and he was saying that Dallas would lose because of hubris Blah blah etc...

So it was pretty satisfying as well. I do remember worrying about Aikman's health because the Super Bowl was only 7 days away that year due to the 18 week regular season. These days he never would have been cleared.

My experiences were similar in that regard as I started watching on a weekly basis around that time. I distinctly remembering the one oy Cowboy fan in my class (lots of Bears, Niners and Giants fans). Of course a few years later I wasn't alone anymore.

I was at this game. Great answer! This was really a defining moment in setting up our SB run the following year!

I watched in a sports bar in NJ. I went alone because I felt the Boys were going to win (we almost beat them to start the season), and I wanted to see them stop the Skins from being undefeated. When I got there the entire place was Cowboys fans, to the point that they switched the audio over from the Giants game because we had them outnumbered probably at least three to one. The place went nuts the entire time, that's the only time I've watched a game in a pro-Cowboys crowd here in Giants and Eagles country so it was extra sweet.

The good ol' 1993 thanksgiving game.

You poor poor wretched soul. This made me weep.

Yeah... wasn't old enough to understand the game. Decked in cowboys gear regardless when I was little regardless, just didn't get to see the SB wins..

Woodson and Nguyen were my faves growing up. Richie Anderson was up there as well.

The weeping was there however.
