Ups: We have a good core of young players on this team that have the potential to really do something special. We have a new coach and he's assembled coaches who aren't his buddies, they're speaking of being aggressive and physical! What Cowboys fan wouldn't like to see us be more aggressive and physical??

Downs: Jerry is still here and he's not going anywhere. We continue to hold up signings, and end up paying more in the end. We lack discipline, but maybe these new coaches instill something we've been needing for years! Fear of the unknown with this new defense and offense. Will our franchise QB return without injuries???

So I ask you, and trust there's so much more, but I HAVE to let you get your thoughts in. What brings you back every season as a Cowboys fan??? Maybe it's the traditions, you've been a fan since you were 10 years old etc etc!! Please give your thoughts on what brings you back ole Cowboys Faithfuls!!!
 
I'm just a fan. Probably always will be.

It's my team.
Same here, 57 now and been a fan as long as I can remember, probably 5 years old? At this point every year is just one closer to Jethro either being too old and decrepit to run the team or dead. I hate to say that's my motivation but honestly what else is there?

Also, what are these ups you speak of??
 
You know there's really nothing logical that brings me back to this current team that wears the Cowboys star and colors but represents the polar opposite of what I grew up loving.

Maybe it's the memories of Roger Staubach bringing the Cowboys back in the playoffs against San Francisco throwing the hail Mary against Minnesota and all the other heroic comebacks.
The memory of Bob Lilly sacking Bob greasy in our first Super bowl win against Miami
Confidence I had seen Tom Landry on the sideline with the steely eyed look of a gunfighter knowing that if there was time on the clock he and Roger could put it together and prevail over anything.
All that's left is the memories and the hope that maybe the group of players that wears my team's uniform can somehow do it justice.
But I know in my heart Jerry will never do what's necessary to make it happen we will always be a couple players short of being able to compete.
I guess it's like many of you I am just a glutton for punishment paying my dues for all the incredible memories and excitement I experienced in my youth watching this iconic team.

I am a glutton for punishment. I wish I could give up being a fan, but its ingrained in me. However, the losses don't affect me that much any longer. I just get perturbed during the game, but don't lose any sleep over it like I did in my younger days.

Funny, all this hate and I will admit. I'm somewhat of a Jerral Wayne fan. He's not perfect. But he's got some redeeming qualities.

I refuse to bash an 80 plus year old who's still doing a decent job keeping the team relevant.
