Nervous, Might Need My Ankles Taped

[Htown-Cowboy]

During a conversation between Troy Aikman and HOF QB Roger Staubach before the NFCCG in 92'. Roger told Troy "l'm so nervous. I think I may need my ankles taped." I think that is how a lot of fans felt then and even now before todays game. But what went unnoticed was the confidence the players and coaches were exuding. Have y'all noticed the swagger and confidence from Dak, CeeDee, Parsons, Martin, Lawrence and even the Headcoach Fat Mike is brimming. I don't know if that means we'll win today, but its a good sign! GO Cowboys!

Not sure about the "ankle taping" thing. But, I'm very nervous and anxious today, so I may have to resort to a little alcohol later.

It is WAY easier to catch a football with those newer gloves.
They're like fly-paper.

The most nervous I've ever been was before the 1992 NFCCG....I woke up about 4 AM...could not sleep....I needed some positive energy, so I removed my white shower curtain, got some blue paint, and painted NFC Champs on it with a giant star in the middle. It stayed hung on my balcony deck until Super Sunday. Like an idiot, I threw it away when I moved 5-6 years later.

So, That's when this curse started! ******... Go and find that shower curtain, NOW!

With Martin Lawrence on our side we can't be beat!!!

I can make a case that the players will be nervous and one that they won’t.

On the one hand some will see it as that Dallas is playing with house money because they are on the road underdogs playing one of the most powerful teams in the NFL

On the other hand Dak, Martin,Lawrence, and Zeke are veterans that need to get it done to solidify their success in the NFL. Micah and CeeDee are youngbloods that are still in their first contract so they get a pass.

Give me 130 yards rushing and 225-250 yards,no turnovers Dak and that should put them with a great chance for the W.

Id rather roll with Zach Martin. You Go Boy!

I am not that nervous today. I never expected this team to get this far. At the beginning of the year I thought were were looking at a 9-8 season and a playoff miss. 12-5 and a first round win is far beyond my expectations so no matter hwat happens I am pleased with the outcome of this season. Any wins after last week are just icing on the cake.

Try listening to the radio broadcast or following the gamecast on ESPN. It's more relaxing than listening to some of those broadcast analyst with their biases.

I may need to tape the remote to my hand so it don't going flying at some intimate object...especially the TV.
