Why are you a cowboy's fan?

[jgboys1]

First game I ever wathced, 1/16/1972, Super Bowl 6. I Bet my Dad and uncle .75 cents each and I won, I was 9 years old at the time. Roger Staubach was my idol growing up. Even though I grew up in N.Y. the boys were on TV alot when I was young, got to see them alot, and became a huge fan.

Dang, son. With that $1.50 you could have bought you a six-pack and have a quarter left over!
Or 2 burgers and a coke and a fry.
Or a girlie magazine with all them girl volleyball players!

(in Texas, anyway)

More matter, with less art. - Hamlet, act 2, scene 2


I grew up watching them with my Dad, who's still going strong at 83. As good a reason as any.

sure, you know these fancy movies by Hamlet, but you have a high school degree.

Not In N.Y., maybe a Coke but no girlie magazine. I had to wait until I got a job before I could buy the good stuff.:shades:

I've liked the Boys for so long and at such a young age, I can't even remember what it was that turned me towards them, but I've never looked back and have been lucky enough to see them win every one of their rings.

My family is ALL Cowboys fans. We schedule Thanksgiving dinner around the game, so I never really had a choice.

Funny thing, I was just messing around on the computer looking at coats of arms and stuff. I asked my dad if we had a family crest, and without missing a beat he said, "Yeah, its a blue and silver star."

I became a Cowboy fan around 1982-83 when I was 7 years old.....mostly because I was drawn by the uniforms with the Star. It just looked so simple and classic. Also.....we only got three channels in those days, and watching Thanksgiving football was a big deal.....and Dallas was always playing.

Living in Pennsylvania I was considered a rebellious little jerk because of that decision.....and I took alot of beatings from Steelers and Eagle fans.

They won the Super Bowl in 1993 when I was in 12th grade. By that time I was a 6 foot one, 250 pound football player myself.......so I was the one giving out the beatings.

Was it the womens league?

I became a Dallas Cowboy fan because my daddy raised me right!

If only I could have done the same with my two sons! One is a Bills fan, the other thinks football sucks...and he's the biggest in the family! I always told him to try out during jr. school and now high school, and he just looks at me and laughs...then walks away!

Because I am smart

And you can track planes, too!

That incident was one of the first I remember when I became a registered member...

Well, the story is the following:

15 years ago I had the sega genesis videogame console and My uncle bought me a football videogame that I dont know how it was called but it was bout "RUGBY", that was what he said to me while giving me the game.

I started playing the game but by then I was around 7 years old and I only knew bout soccer, knew little bout rugby and even less bout American Football, so I quit playing it quickly, but the few hours that I spent playing it, I did chose a team with a Star Logo cause Ive found it very cool.

Years and years after, I was on middle school and 2 friends of mine start throwing passes with a NFL Football (it was a smaller- buccaneers one) and I asked which sport was it from... They started teaching me as we watched a few games, they turned both into Buccaneers fans and I re-met with my now beloved Cowboys. I recalled the star logo from my childish years and instantly became a Cowboy, a Crazy Cowboy in the land of soccer, as I like to say

I am from dallas, and grew up within walking distance from where tom landry lived. Every time there was something to be voted on my mom and dad went to the same place landry did, I have no idea how it happened but I saw him at least 5 times voting. He even patted me on the shoulder once. That helped, and the fact that my grandmother loved the 'boys, well it was meant to be.

I'm a Cowboys fan because God loves me, and wants only the best for me...

Seriously, I became a Cowboys fan when they were created back in 1960... my family was living in El Paso at the time, Dad was stationed at Fort Bliss, he was CID, and I was 8 years old... Sundays were for church at Glen Arbor United Methodist, where I was an acolyte and a featured singer in the youth choir, then home to watch the Cowboys get killed by somebody else, then out to the La Paloma restaurant out by the NorthGate shopping center, a little hole in the wall eatery with the best food...

Mom came to be a huge Don Perkins fan, leaping out of her seat yelling "go, man", even when he got dropped for a 4 yard loss... LOL...

 

[BHendri5]

Um, because I was born a Cowboys fan? With Stars on the side of my head and in my eyes. (Smile).

I am going on 43, and I have never been a fan of any other football team since I was 1 year old.

Now I may be a fan of other athletes that play on another team, but I am a Cowboys fan thru and thru.

I thought this was going to be a joke, like:

How many Cowboys fans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

You want that lightbulb screwed in, go do it yourself, the game's on... now bring me a beer...

Your Dad is a great man, and you can tell him I said so...

Grandfathers on both sides were diehard, my Dad would watch 'em, when we moved overseas in 1988 I never got into football but by 1992 while we were in Borneo Dallas came on TV at 7 in the morning for Super Bowl XXVII.

My Dad let me stay home from school, it was Monday while Super Bowl Sunday back in the States, and I learned the sport and to appreciate the Cowboys ever since

I remember the following year I was at school and the whole day I was anxiously anticipating what the score in Super Bowl XXVIII was going to be, when I got off the bus my Mom was waving a Cowboy t-shirt so I knew we won, it would've been easier had she just let me stay home and watch it.

It is pretty humorous watching American football in a Muslim country, they edit out American beer commercials and cut to local Malay commentary that is dry and hysterical.

By Super Bowl XXX I had hit puberty and was back stateside, that was a rough move coming back just in time for both junior high and culture shock, a deadly cocktail, sometimes in the sixth grade it seemed like the Cowboys were my only pleasure while I got adjusted to being an American again.

Since then it has been a heart breaking famine from championships but I'm very much a well adjusted American adult now, no longer an insecure 12 year old, I promise

Did it really take this long...
