This day in Dallas Cowboys history - January 28, 1996 - Super Bowl XXX

[Gangsta Spanksta]

I've been to two super bowl parades. >.> Will I ever have another opportunity, again...

 

[ShortRound]

It’s amazing it’s been so long.

They were running the ball at will in the second half. Bam Morris was kicking our butts. If not for Neil O'Donnell throwing two interceptions then we don't win.

Exactly. They STUFFED our running game as well
Clearly he did not watch that game or was blind

 

[1942willys]

For those of us who had been watching the Boys you could tell that the journey was ending. Too many FA losses. OUR depth was disapearing; and the O line was starting to get old and deteriorate; especially Newton

Since Switzer showed absolutely zero control of the team, Erik Williams finally derailed and ruined his HOF career the year prior. He was about 60% of what he once was.

Our deep threat on offense was gone, depth on the D line was gone, depth at linebacker gone, depth in the secondary gone. We were lucky to even be there.

 

[J_Allen]

It’s the only SB I’ve ever seen the Cowboys play in. I was 10 years old.

I was 12. I still didn't enjoy it because even then I knew it was over.

 

[Jimbo123]

I didn't need to watch the YouTube video, I have it recorded on a VHS tape.

Confused here, as you would have been 7&8 respectively for Super Bowl XXVII and XXVIII

Why didn't you watch those 2?

He may not have been a fan then. I didn't watch them either because I didn't like football.

Welp, thats a testament that shows just how good that dynasty was that jimmy built....It was that 3rd superbowl imo.......no depth, age, injuries, turmoil...........AND they still won it!!!!! Under BARRY SWITZER!!!!! Oh my....thats how good that team was.....

 

[MarkP88]

I was in my 20s then. I now receive AARP literature in the mail without asking for it.

Because I didn’t start watching football until 1994. Barry Switzer was the coach and we lost to the 49ers. They beat the Chargers in the SB that year. Next year we beat the Steelers and that’s the SB I was able to watch.,

Exactly...two years after free agency and dysfunction and Jimmy's team was still good enough to win.

It was bittersweet, because we knew it was the end. And the frustration of it ending way before it should have. Never seen something so huge and unstoppable come to a screeching halt over complete stupidity

That was the very first Cowboys game I watched and for some reason I had a really bad feeling from the very start.

 

[Boysdaboys]

This is the game where the NFC dominance in the SB changed. Imo.

Remember, Cowboys were huge favorites. The game was close until that second pick.

The next year, NE was within a TD of GB before that TD return.

Denver finally won and it's been relatively even since.

Saw a recent Nate interview where he said he told his wife after that game they were done winning SBs. He knew it took all they had left to get that one.

I'm just glad they got it, especially given how things have gone since.

 

[Zekeats]

Almost 30 years… Jesus Christ.

Not Jesus Christ, Jerry Jones

 

[mrmojo]

That was a hard season as a fan, you cou;d tell the team was fading.....after the SB we became Deions team.....no more hard work, attention to detail, discipline....its been taht way since......

So do I...in storage with the other two 90's SB victories.
