Sympathy for the other fans in their 30s like me

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

34 here.

Too young to have really watched or known the 90s. Became hardcore during the Campo era. We've gotten a terrible end of the stick as fans. I hope we see a Super Bowl one day, but the Chicago Cubs proved you can go a lifetime without seeing one.

I have a kid who wasnt born the last SB win. He is now in grad school to put in perspective. Never seen em get past the wild card round. Mind boggling really,

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

Very sad. Tonight is the farthest I've seen us get

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

I share your pain

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I really don't know what keeps young fans rooting for this franchise. Us old folks stay around because we don't know any better.

 

[Cowboys5217]

I do. I honestly do have sympathy for you all.

If it is any help, I would trade those three SBs for an alternate reality where Jones never bought the team. I'd take my chances in that parallel universe just to know what hope in the future feels like again.

 

[JonesBoys]

I'm sorry my friend that you didn't get to enjoy the Jimmy Johnson years. With the Jones boys running the show I'm afraid this will be the Cubs version of football.

We're going to pay for those SBs the rest of our days.

We're basically the Vikings or just like any team that's never won a Super Bowl (minus the Bengals who have a real QB and a real shot) if you only count the last 28 years, and no sign that's going to change.

36 living in Texas now but originally from delaware. My god I wish I became an eagle fan like the rest of my family.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

32 here, I feel you.

At this point, I've come to accept that I'll probably never see them win a title in my lifetime. If they do I'll be happy but I don't expect anything from this franchise anymore. I'd never be able to cheer for another team either so it is what it is.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Many fans wonder why we always bring up the 90's teams under Jimmy. I saw those and it was a great time to be a Cowboys fan. Of course after '95, everything turned to crap. But at least we have something to hold onto. Oh well, the question now is can the 'Boys go half century without being to the big Dance.? HMMMM, wonder if Vegas has the odds on that one?

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I'm in my 30's, but I don't need sympathy. It's not like I'm out there lining up and failing over and over and over again.

Beginning to think I need to find something better to do on Sundays.

They say Jerry made a deal with the Devil for that last SB.

Jerry IS the Devil.

 

[Yoshimitsu]

It sucks man. It's even more hopeless when you realize it won't change because of the Jones family.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

37 here. I remember the 95 season well, but that’s it.

We’re just a loser franchise. It is what it is, still get mad when we lose but some times I find myself laughing. This is who are and will be for the foreseeable future.


Feel really bad for the young fans. This team is trash and I’d truly recommend following another team; don’t get caught up in this one.

The Vikings have been to 4 NFC title games since we last sniffed one.

33 here, was fortunate enough to witness Thanksgiving greatness thanks to Randy Moss when I was 8.

My generation has been treated to plenty of historic football moments, just none of them in Dallas’ favor

38 this team doesn't need a ton of adjustments to get there. Better wr play most importantly followed by dl (interior) cb and lb play.

True, even teams like the Jaguars have made their Conference Championship. We're the Chargers. A team that can make the playoffs but not much else.

Yeah but the Chargers at least have a young stud QB.

We’re more like the lions and browns with more regular season success. Even the Jets have beaten us in 3 straight tries lol.

It’s almost impossible to fail as consistently as we have in the postseason the past 30 years.

Maybe it’s fixed and the media garners too high of ratings to **** talk Dallas for the league to allow us to have any success. The running joke is too valuable.
