I'm 23 years old, and the cowboys were winning superbowls while I was still learning to walk.

I remember Quincy Carter. I remember Testaverde. I remember Dave Campo. I remember Romo bobbling the extra point and every pivotal piece of history in between.

I watched this team lose to the Giants in the first round in 2007. I saw my Cowboys win a playoff game for the first time (that I can remember) in 2009. I watched them quit on Wade Phillips.

I have never enjoyed a season as much.

I have never been prouder of this team.

I have never been happier to be a Dallas Cowboy fan.

Go Cowboys.

I am a 38 yr old Cowboy Fan born in 1976.

I've been a Cowboy fan since moving to Dallas as a kid in the late 80's. After they won their first SB of the 90's, I became a diehard, dedicated, 24/7 Cowboy fan.

Historically, I have been very optimistic during the offseason. I have convinced myself that the Shante Carvers and Ebenizer Ekubans of the world were the game changers we needed to turn the corner. I believed that Quincey Carter could be the young QB we could build a franchise around. I even thought that Pac Man Jones was going to be the key component to a sucessful playoff run. Oh... how I have been disappointed over the last 15 years.

This preseason that all changed. For the first time in my 20+ years of fandom, I knew there was no hope of success. A historically bad defense had lost it's two best players. Our QB had multiple back surgeries. We got the living crap kicked out of us in every preseason game. Hope was gone. For the first time, I expected the Cowboys to falter.

To be where we are today is one of the most shocking sports experiences of my life. It is truly sureal. I am high off that old feeling that I have long forgotten... PRIDE. I am so proud to call myself a fan of this team and this organization... and today, it feels great.

I'm 21 and today was an absolute blast. I was probably more excited with the 2009 win, though.

This team has earned our love loyalty and faith this season.

They play tough and never quit.

They play as a TEAM.

They are overcomers and overachievers.

i'm 47 and have been diehard since 1975.

i like every other poster who is a true fan as old or older than me can attest that this season and win tonight was beautiful.

i hope that you get to experience the good days and years we old timers got to see back in the 70's and 90's.

we used to dominate back then bro!
