CZ POLL When did you become a Cowboys fan?

[CowboysRule]

Interesting poll....Just goes to show Jerry has killed the fan base...there is no younger fans.

I'm not sure the younger generation is big on message boards. Twitter is much better for the short attention spans.

Way before your time as a matter of fact there aren't many that go back as far as me.

They could win this year or next. It is an exciting time to be a Cowboys fan.

27 years and counting.

1971 SuperBowl. Remember Bob Lilly throwing his helmet after Baltimore kick last second fg to beat Dallas. Been a Cowboy ever since

Not a lot of young Cowboys fans these days.

But why would there be?

Of course! No Super Bowls, nothing to brag about! Plus, it’s the Cowboys. Kids get more smiles and thumbs up and high fives and pseudo brotherhood hating on Dallas. It’s trendy! Loyalty and patience are much more fleeting nowdays, while instant gratification and entitlement is as natural as air. People born after 1995 don’t care about what came before.

Crazy, I still have this same pic since I was a kid. I was 9 at the time of this and have this in a scrap book. It's pretty worn but could still name 40 of the players from this pic you posted.

77 Super Bowl. I was 5. Everyone in the room was rooting for Denver so I took the other side. Been a fan ever since.

Anyone in the early 70's have the Cowboys little kids bomber jacket with the silver leather sleeves? I was so cool at age 7 sporting mine. Brings back memories of my Dad getting me that jacket for X-mas.

That has nothing to do with this year.

 

[Floatyworm]

Still a relatively small sampling size,.but very telling that there are no votes post 2000.

Well....IMO you can draw the conclusion just how out of touch this organization is with the fan base....and has zero clue how to attract new fans. Part of me says....this is exactly what some people want inside the league wants.

It’s true, though! Kids are into crap like Tik Tok, and they need constant stimulation. Most lose interest quickly. Mention brain surgery or rocket science, and—oh look, a fly!…

Watched the ice bowl with my uncle and grandfather.

They were very impressed with the way the Cowboys played in that weather and always followed them as casual fans.

I became a die-hard fan after that. And continue to this day.

I thought it would be interesting for everyone to share when they became a Cowboys fan.

You forgot to tell us when you became a Cowboy fan or did I miss it somewhere in the thread

kids today can figure out how to start a push mower much less who to pull for.

It seems like if it can't be accomplished by moving the mouse it just doesn't get done.
