Pep Rally at Texas Stadium on Jan 14, 1993 anyone there?

[yimyammer]

Being a Cowboys fan was tough in the 80's, especially while I was in college where living down the hall in my dorm was the most obnoxious Steeler fan who used to throw every Cowboys loss in my face and unfortunately they had a lot of losses during that time. When the Cowboys beat the Steelers in 95' I would have paid good money to find that schmuck and rub it in his face but college had long since passed and I was never able to find him.

Fast forward to Jan 14, 1993. I was 28 years old and still hadn't gotten over the catch but the Cowboys had started to turn it around so my buddies & I couldn't pass up the chance to go to the pep rally for the biggest game since that dreaded defeat.

Surely I'm not the only one here that attended this pep rally, chime in if you were there. It was the most raucous Cowboy crowd I've ever seen, probably due to the fact it was a free event and loaded with rabid blue collar fans that rarely, if ever, got to go to the games.

Fun times

For some reason the archive cut off that last sentence of the article, I don't know why

PS..mods this article was pulled from the Dallas Public Library archives so I can't link directly to it, thus the cut & paste

Those were the days - but no time to live in the past - not in the short window we're in.

Most important off season we've had in a long. long time.

If the Cowboys ever make it to another NFC Championship Game on the road, or a Super Bowl, we need to have something like this at AT&T Stadium.

You could argue that a pep rally should be taking place at AT&T stadium this Friday or Saturday!!

I was one of the first person's there. Never seen anything like it before, then. or since.

I was starting to think I was the only one on this board that was there. It was great wasn't it? Those teams spoiled us rotten.

If we make the playoffs, and get to the NFC championship, we should repeat the peprally. Unfortunately, I've lost all my photos from back then, but there would be plentiful this time around.

Too early. Not the right type of game.

Massive pep rallies should be reserved for a rare, momentous game.


The 1992 NFC championship game qualifies; a Week 15 regular season game at Philly does not.

everything I saw was just text, the pre 1985 archives had actual scans of the newspapers, if they had they for post 1985 we'd at least get some grainy black and white photos but I don't know if they have any plans to scan those

I've never even heard of this. Awesome.

I'm pretty sure I have the local broadcast of that on a VHS tape.

I wasn't there but I remember all week on the news was about the field conditions at Candlestick.

I did record all 3 superbowls on VHS. I have them somewhere.

That would be a sweet youtube upload, I wish I had the forethought to record everything from back in those days

I was there at PEP RALLY and have a Crazy Question. Who was the Band in the Tent (Bar)? My wife and I had the greatest time ever and for the life of me we can't remember the name of the Band. The Lead singer had hair that stood straight up about a foot long. Looked like he put it on an ironing board and starched it.

Can we have a fire Jason PEP Rally?

I was in Florida at the time. I wonder if the old Dallas Cowboys Weekly has any photos or articles on it. I have every issue from when Jerry bought the team through 2000. Boxed away in a rubber maid container. But it would take a while to sort through. Heck would take a while even to get to.
