#3... I'm 26...I remember the Cowboys being the top team in football, but since I was between 5-8 years old, I didn't really care or understand all that much. I really became a Cowboys fan around 2001-2002 when we had our revolving door of great QBs such as Quincy Carter, Chad Hutchinson, Drew Henson, Clint Stoerner, Anothony Wright, Ryan Leaf...etc...
My first memory of being a TRUE Cowboys fan was when Reggie Swinton returned a kickoff return for a TD, I don't remember who they were playing... but that's the first thing I can remember after deciding that I wanted to be a Cowboys fan.
Me, along with all the younger fans, have experienced nothing but disappointment for the vast majority of our fandom. Taking all the past success out of the equation, my entire Cowboys fandom experience is probably no different than what Bills/Browns/Lions fans feel like.
