How long have you been a fan of the Cowboys?

1985 (the day I was born)

Grew up in Jamica Queens, NY, but my father was from Dallas and my mother was from Fort Worth so I really had no choice in my household lol. I made the decision to move to Arlington (now live in Fort Worth) for college. The Cowboys played a large role in that decision. Still here, no regrets. :star:

1969, my birth year. A born and bred blue blooded Cowboy fan here. I am the granddaughter of an original Dallas Texans, and later Dallas Cowboys fan right here. And proud of it.
:starspin:

Born in the same year. I started watching football and became a fan of the Cowboys when they got Dorsett. Tony and Harvey Martin were my heroes when I was a kid.

1975 :) "The Dirty Dozen" and the "Hail Mary" cemented my love for this team...

As far as I can remember having a conscious choice. So about 1986 or so. First memory is Steve Pelluer completing a long pass to Herschel Walker vs the Skins.

I remember distinctly having a Dallas Cowboys themed party for my 4th birthday.

Steve Pelluer I haven't heard that name in a minute.

Since Dallas went to Oakland in 1980 and won. I was 7 years old. My dad took me and a friend to the game, he was a huge Oakland fan. I remember sitting there in the stadium and cheering for the Cowboys and my dad being so mad. LOL...

I'd say around 91' or 92'. My dad was a cowboys fan, but my first memories of anything football related was Washington winning a superbowl in 91' and being mad and also that last second loss in 92' to Washington. Third football memory was SB 27 :)

The 90's when the Triplets where hot and they were winning Superbowl's. I remember getting an Emmitt Smith rookie card from Pro Set and been sticking with them since.

My dad took me to watch the boys play the eagles in the cotton bowl in oct of 1966. Watched dandy don and bullet bob lay 40+ on the eagles that day and was hooked. I'll say this, that period from 66-until they finally got over the top in Super Bowl Vl was painful. No victory will ever be sweeter than seeing Landry finally carried off the field victorious after that Super Bowl win......I can still see bob Lilly smoking that big cigar in the locker room after that win with a look of pure ecstasy on his face.
there are no other teams that I kinda like. It cowboys for me and nothing else

I grew up in Arizona. I started really getting into football around 91/92 when I was 10. The Cardinals had only been here a couple of years. No one in my family followed them and their games were almost always blacked out. My grandfather was a hardcore Cowboys fan though, so he got me into it. It didn't hurt that the Cowboys were pretty good either.
