Google launched in 1999...................man, if only I would have bought stock in that company back then.:banghead:

I was online way before google.
Was running telphone wire and going online as early as 1993. Using compuserve and something called WOW.

Actually bought cowboys jacket (1996) online before there was any shopping carts.

It took six months to receive ... The were handmade. Will post pic tomorrow. Had wool body with leather sleeves.

Sorry bro.................my advice is to eat healthy, exercise a lot, avoid stress, and just maybe you will live long enough to see the Boyz win a SuperBowl.:laugh:

How do I "avoid stress" when I'm waiting for Dallas to win a Super Bowl? :laugh::laugh:

From a fan's standpoint, Super Bowl XXX will always be my benchmark for football. I was 14 and my family was stationed in England at the time. I think it started around midnight because of the time difference and it aired on Sky Sports with a British crew doing the pre-game stuff, so it was just all sorts of abnormal from a viewing standpoint.

A lot of no-shows at school the next morning. The vice principal even joked that the day after the Super Bowl really needed to be declared a holiday. :)

Cool, personal "different" story. Thanks for sharing :)

Man, that's awesome. Somewhere at my folks house I've got a Super Bowl XXX program that my dads friend gave me. I was 7 that year.

Nice bro......................I got a hat just like that one too..............................good times back then.

At least us old guys have some memories and souvenirs, I feel bad for the under 30 fans that were in diapers when we were winning championships and the only thing they remember is 1 playoff win in 19 seasons.


Wool Body with Leather Sleeves. This WASNT in storage. I wear 2-3 times every winter. Its one of my pride and joy's!! :)

The logos are leather cut and in some cases about 5-6 layers sewn over each other.

Funny story. Like I said, it was very early on in the web.

So webpages pages weren't even webpages yet. There was a scanned advertisement of the jacket with a price of $699 but crossed out and reduced tom $299.

I printed it, then called, they weren't going to honor price. Wanted to charge me $699. I told them I printed it, then they simple said, ok no problem. It will take 3-4 months. I was like, what the ??? She explained, we make them as ordered. We custom cut all the logo and stitch it together by hand. No machine.

Here are couple of things Ive had stored away. Ive got my seat cushion and ticket stub from the game but cant get to them now. Got the ball at the NFL Experience and the monochrome piece I got after the game and hand carried it on the plane home so as not to get it bent.

I completely forgot about this till now but i had a sbxxx sweatshirt. The reason it has meaning is that it was just a sweatshirt without a hood. I think it might be the only such sweatshirt i ever had.

The 1995 season...my senior year in high school. Has it really been that long?

I still have all the newspaper articles and box scores from '95. I get teary-eyed reading them sometimes.
