Being 26, I've never cried over a Cowboys game. I've come close, but yesterday was the first time I shed tears, and they were tears of joy.
I shared two days ago that I did the stadium tour and it was one of the better days in my existence, well last night was the best night of my life.
I am as die hard as they come. The things I go through living in Phila as a Cowboys fan I wouldn't wish on anyone. That is part of the reason why I cried. It feels that much better when you win after having to go through what I do. I've lost friends over this football stuff, people choose to make remarks about me, my family, and my personal well being over this stuff. I would tell you here where no Eagles fan can see if I provoke these jabs, but I dont. It just comes with the territory.
This trip cost me nearly half my bank account, that is another third of why I cried. I took this trip alone, and stayed at an awful hotel and picked flights with cheap layovers just to make this game. I have never spent money so well in my life.
The final third of why I cried was because as mentioned In another thread, if you're in my age range you never experienced glory with this team. For some of you who have witnessed it all, im sure yesterday was nice but nothing compared to what you have felt in the past. Yesterday was my mini Super Bowl. I cried when Tony took the final kneel. I wish I could share the video but there are expletives. The way in which they won, to be losing for 56 mins to then pull it out, ontop of the other reasons above, it was only right to let my emotions go.
The experience: amazing. I told you I sunk almost half my bank account, I paid a steep price for my ticket. I sat in sec. 205. The people around me were amazing. We hugged, shook hands, fist bumped, chest bumped, you name it we did it all game. My section never lost hope and we were loud as hell. I sat and was quiet maybe 5% of the game.
All in all folks, I go home broke, but can say it was truly the best weekend of my life. My flight got delayed big time back home, and I don't even care as I write this in DFW. It was a wonderful feeling being able to share happy sentiments with people at the game. I've never been in a room with more then 3 Cowboys fans, that's not a joke. Thank you for allowing me to share this. I don't know any of you personally, and I know I'm not a famous poster on this site, but thank you and Go Cowboys.
