Twitter: Weird Emmitt Smith fact

Anyone upset that on the run he broke it it ended up as a bad highlight? Just like kinda crawled

He's said many times since then that he wasn't happy with himself on that play, and that it would have been a long run if he could have kept his feet.

I was there too and you are right . It was awesome until we lost and then just sort of semisweet.

IMO, we lost because we didn't give him the ball enough.

Today is the 20-year anniversary of Emmitt breaking the record. I'll always remember where I was and what I was doing when it happened. At the time, I was 22, almost 23 and working as a server at Red Lobster. The game wasn't shown in my area that day, and I was at work. In between waiting my tables I kept checking the TV for updates, and then right as the after-church crowd started dwindling and I got a little break, the bartender called me over to the bar to tell me Emmitt had broken the record, and then a couple minutes later, I saw a clip of the record-breaking run.

Crazy how stuff works out like that sometimes. Remember being like 8 years old watching that record breaking run in my living room. Great memory.

Pursuit of that record was really all the team had going during that dark era of Cowboys football. The best memory from that game was watching Emmitt share the moment on the sidelines with his family, Irvin and Moose.

Yup, if I didn’t grow up in Arlington I would’ve been a fan of whatever home town team I was with. The national attraction to the team was low at that time
