I was at that game... still have the ticket stub...

I remember we where we sat... four of us from work. There was a group a couple of seats down and they were drinking heavily. Three guys and a gal. The gal was toast and was actually lap-dancing one of the guys... I assume her boyfriend.

On the run when Smith broke the record, the crowd went wild and there was a standing ovation. The girl really had no clue as to what was going on. I remember the video screens doing a tribute and the girl commented... "Oh look, some one from our team did something great... AWESOME"...

In fairness, she was pretty cute and threw down a pretty good lapdance... so there's that along with the record!

Not only my greatest and favorite in person sports experience, but one of the greatest moments of my life was being in the building that day.

Emmitt was my role model growing up. He meant so much to me. I was so happy to see him break that record that day. I'll never forget it.

it was a beautiful moment.

it was a great moment... tarnished by the team failing to rise to the moment, and losing a game they should have won easily.

Not to mention the fact that Emmitt didn't get the ball enough that day. The running game was about the only thing that was working, but Bruce Coslet went away from it.

Wow, 14 years ago. Time sure does fly. I was only 11 at the time

IKR......I was 22 myself.

Today is me and my wife's 15th wedding anniversary . On our first one we were at Texas Stadium watching Emmitt Smith break that record. My wife was skeptical of a trip to Dallas to watch a football game on our very first anniversary. I told her that I loved her and that although we'd been married a year, I had lifelong relationship with the Dallas Cowboys. It didn't go over well at the time, but once she saw how happy I was to be there and what it meant to me, she was cool with it!

Is she all in now? Does she watch games with you still? Just curious, relationships can be tricky during football season.

Like so many of us, I was there for that day and so many of Emmitt's days... don't have a lot of time at the moment but I will post a couple of the many pics I took that day.
