sorry so late Christmas kind of got in the way.

Camp Poke...with the blue canopy and flags flying...cool and windy day.

a true blue Cowboys fan...
http://i14.***BLOCKED***/albums/a319/railzrantz/DSC04227.jpg

fans from Odessa, hometown of Roy 11, all their kids had on # 11 jerseys

next door neighbors did it right, satellite TV, fire ring to gather round

http://i14.***BLOCKED***/albums/a319/railzrantz/DSC04224.jpg

sidelines were so crowded for pregame....atmosphere was really great, too bad our guys didnt come out fired up and ready to play !!

http://i14.***BLOCKED***/albums/a319/railzrantz/DSC04291.jpg

i saw a lot of old school jerseys, old fans coming out for one last time i guess

Newman high fived this little boy out on the field during pregame

right before kickoff they showed this on the big screen....too bad it didnt inspire anybody but the crowd.....and not even them too much.

Dorsett after the coin toss

http://i14.***BLOCKED***/albums/a319/railzrantz/DSC04318.jpg

during the coin toss, after the intros with Smith and Dorsett and all the players, TO sort of backed away from the group, I took it as him letting the retired guys take care of it, a sign of respect. I may be wrong but thats what i thought it was and i thought it was a good gesture.....
http://i14.***BLOCKED***/albums/a319/railzrantz/DSC04317.jpg

they always used to let out blue and white balloons, they did it this night.
i thought the Cowboys really tried hard to incorparate their history into
the whole night.

the trumpet player honoring Tommy Loy
http://i14.***BLOCKED***/albums/a319/railzrantz/DSC04311.jpg

face painters, crazy hair ladies....it was there !!

http://i14.***BLOCKED***/albums/a319/railzrantz/DSC04299.jpg

http://i14.***BLOCKED***/albums/a319/railzrantz/DSC04308.jpg

Emmitt.......Mr Cool, he did a good job with his postgame speech, after hearing him sound so bad on TV it was nice to hear him just speak from his heart and i liked it.
http://i14.***BLOCKED***/albums/a319/railzrantz/DSC04321.jpg

the next 3 pictures are from halftime, Jason Witten's wife accepted an award for Jason and his little boy was out there just crawling around.

my son took this picture so we can compare prices at the TajMah Jerry next year

http://i14.***BLOCKED***/albums/a319/railzrantz/DSC04431.jpg

it was a great day for a while, the parking lot opened at 1pm so we had plenty of time to enjoy the scene, meet people, eat, drink and be merry.

the in game interviews were great and luckily right in front of us.
loved the trumpet.
loved seeing all of the old guys again, and was very happy with the way things were being done....except on the field.
i had said i would shed tears but i was so mad after the game i didnt shed any tears , i did enjoy the post game but the anger kept any other emotion away....enjoy...sorry its so long and so late.

now its time to put this aside and get ready to beat the Eagles, its been 8 stinking years since we finished with a WIN.....aggghhhhh

Nice pics, Poke. Thanks for posting these. It's too bad the team didn't get the victory. I can't wait to see a game at the new barn, but I'm going to miss this one.

Dorsett has taken good care of himself, he looks like he could still play and he is 54 now.

I dont see any beer on that menu nice pics

 

[rathalarge]

Great pics! Just glad you were there to witness it!! Thanks, Poke!

 

[poke]

I dont see any beer on that menu nice pics

i think a bottle of beer was $7.50......dont buy it there so i dont know.
if my son was here i could ask him.

actually as far as i am concerned a beer cost $ 16.50.....every time i want a bottle of water
i get my son to run get it and i hand him a $20 dollar bill.
he comes back with him a beer and me a bottle of water....and i never get any change !!!!

but man i enjoy going to the game with him !!

Great pics poke.

I am really sick to my stomach at the notion that there are no more football games to see in person until august.

Its just awful.
