The last time the Cowboys won a playoff game. That makes me 22 now... the last 50% of my life has been without a single Cowboys playoff win.
What sucks is that my first year being a fan was 1992 (age 7), and so I didn't really appreciate the enormous success they had... I was spoiled silly by the 'Boys, and I thought it would be the norm forever.
There is no guarantee we'll be back in the playoffs next year. Look at the Saints, Bears, and Eagles... all division winners just a year ago. It could be another 11 years before we have a team this good again. That's reality.
I like our chances today... a lot. We're simply the better team.
But I won't lie... I'm terrified. I think we'd beat this team 7-8 times if we played them 10 times. But that still means we'd lose 2-3 times, and there's no telling whether or not today is one of those days.
This season has been a freakin' dream! I swear, we haven't been universally hated this much since the glory days. Embracing the hate, as Hostile says, has been as fun as it was way back when I was in the Bay Area pissing off adult 49ers fans with my Aikman jersey and #22 Emmitt cap. This season has had the same feel... sporting my Romo jersey, railing on the haters on a regular basis.
I'm so not ready for it to end... win today, and I'll feel fine for at least a few more days before the obligatory anxieties build up regarding the rematch vs. Green Bay.
The sucky thing is that I know I'll be down in the dumps unless we win the Super Bowl... and I hate to say it, but I don't see anybody beating New England. I'd LOVE another shot at them, because anything can happen on any given Sunday... but I'd be lying if I said I'd like our chances in that game.
Okay, I'm rambling... just win today and let us celebrate for at least a couple days before gearing up for the Packers!
WHO ELSE IS FREAKIN' EXCITED!?!?!? :starspin :starspin :starspin
