That was my favorite Super Bowl. It was so great to finally beat the Squealer in the big game.
I was there as well. I was seven years old.I was there.
Tempe was really a cool place to see a game.
I remember the face value of the ticket was 175 but I paid 1000. Tickets were going for 400 as I was walking in.
Mike Saxon was sitting a few rows in front of me.
I'm pretty sure Diana Ross came in via helicopter for the halftime show.
Same here man, I was 16 at that time. I thought we would win at least 2 more Super Bowls.
I was 18-21 years old during the run from 92-95 great times, in more ways than just the football.
That might have been part of it but the brutal fact was this was in several ways almost a shadow of the 92 team. The lines were degrading; as were other parts of the D.Honestly, I was sweating bullets.
We took on the persona of Jimmy Johnson when we won Super Bowls 27 and 28. Confident. Fearless. Bold. Powerful.
We took on the persona of Barry Switzer when we won Super Bowl 30. Clueless. Mistake-prone. Buffoonish. Confused.
At first, I thought the game would be a blow-out. But then that BS persona began, and we almost choked it away.
I could see it coming. And I was scared we'd be 3-0 vs. the Steelers in Super Bowls.
Then ... Neil O'Donnell came through for us. Whew!
Has Jerry Jones inducted him into the Ring of Honor yet?
I was 29, didn't think I wouldn't see us win again until at least my 50s (presently 54)
Man, if somebody had told me at 16 that I would make it to my 40's (I'm 41 now) without the Cowboys even making it to an NFC Championship Game, let alone a Super Bowl, I would have thought they lost their minds.
In hockey, I'm a Canadiens fan so in my first 26 yrs, they won 10 Cup, last 27 years none
I remember Jay Novacek being a plan B free agent aquisition in 1990, arguably one of the best FA aquisitions in the history of this franchise,, instantly became Aikmans favorite target and building block for that great offense.The thing I always think about is man could you imagine keeping all those players together for their whole careers?
Think about the Steelers of the 70's...there was no free agency...you played with them until you were cut, traded or retired.
Of course as soon as the Cowboys became great again free agency had started and the Cowboys got picked over at their zenith.
Even thought it was a fantastic run...I always think of what could have been.
And of course Jimmy leaving too...Vomitous.
