I would love to win it in SF's house. That would crush their little hearts.
Dude I am so sorry. I forget sometimes that all of us fans haven't lived through the greatness together. I forget that the new fans only know this losing feeling. I can tell you one thing it's electric. When we were back in the SB's in the 90's the metroplex was electric! Everybody was in a good mood, and Bill Bates would hold these pep rallies at his ranch for all fans and it was something else!
There's something about this year. The cumulation of "things" or lack of a better word.
This really feels like we are there. Just kick the door in and take it!
I think it's our time, everything is just different. I really think 50 is ours.
Thinking that we are winning it seems more real than thinking we might not win it.
Smile and the world smiles with you, frown and you frown alone.
STOP THAT !!! Before you jinx us!
I am beyond envious of all who were able to experience the glory years firsthand. I'm not sure why I was late (relatively speaking) getting into football. I was born in 1984, so I certainly would have been old enough to remember all the 90's Super Bowls. I mean I do remember my dad yelling at the TV every once in a while (in celebration...."GO EMMITT!!!!!!"), and we'd have Super Bowl parties and all that, but for whatever reason I just couldn't be bothered with football until around age 11 or 12. But as soon as I got that Cowboys itch, it progressed to hardcore fandom very quickly.
To know that I could have experienced those years if I'd only gotten into sports sooner... I was so close, but no cigar. It's a little frustrating, but I'm certain we'll get there again soon enough. Oh well, at least I can say that the Cowboys have at least won Super Bowls during my lifetime.
You see... That's the thing... There is no jinx... Certainly not from little old me in New York creating this thread. Telling everyone verbally to, " get mad now. Sb50 is ours"...
Whats the worst that can happen?? They break balls like they do anyways.... Lol.... It's win win for me!
But if they win... And you aren't a cowboys fan.... It's best that you stay away.... I will be unbearable!!! Lol
Let me tell.... When we lost to lions in 1991... It was ok. You could see we were about to peak as a team!
Going in to sb27. I had zero doubt. Then going in and winning 52-17 was awesome and relieving. No cold sweats!
Was a little nervous about sb28. They changed it up and it was only one week between title game and SB.
After back to back.... I was intolerable!! Lol
Then... The devating loss of jimmy and NFC title game to niners. I was In shock. If I think about it today... I go in to shock all over again. Lol
And then.... We get Green Bay in NFC title game. I was ecstatic. Felt we couldn't lose to Favre....well... Because we didn't.
Then rematch of 70s vs steelers in SBXXX.
Yes, revenge!!
We come out string in first half... Then it's like the clock struck midnight.
We survived SBXXX thanks to Neil and Larry.
Great, great times!!
Let's do it again!!
Just gave you a little personal experience!
Really good times. I really hope I get to live something like this again...I hope your OP wish comes true. It literally brought tears to my eyes.
I live in San Francisco. The Super Bowl is in Santa Clara at the 49ers stadium.
Please let this happen.
There are other team fan bases with the same feeling.

I love hearing stories of people's experiences from back then. Thanks for sharing.
Ball of brass! (Article in California newspaper
http://articles.latimes.com/1994-01-22/sports/sp-14222_1_cowboy-coach-jimmy-johnson
Jimmy Johnson said:"We will win the ballgame," Johnson said. "And you can put it in three-inch headlines. We will win the ballgame."
The Los Angeles Times said:The Dallas Morning News put Johnson's guarantee in half-inch type at the top of the front page of the newspaper Friday morning, right there next to the headline: "Whitewater case counsel expects to grill Clintons."
And Johnson was disappointed.
Jimmy Johnson said:"I think we would have gotten three-inch headlines if the story had been on the sports page," he said. "Maybe we got three-inch headlines in San Francisco."
I loved this bit from the article:
Words to live by and here are more: We can judge but Mike Judge is a genus.

LOL....you and me both. I've raised my head up to the heavens many times over the past 20 years and tried to explain to the Lord, that was just desperation talking in 1995!! I hope He's hearing me!!I remember saying to myself... Just win SBXXX and I won't ask for anymore. Ha!
20 years payment is payment enough.
Give me 50!! ;-)
