With the extended drought of Super Bowl appearances by our beloved 'Pokes now nearing 20 years, it's almost become a necessity for fans to return to yesteryear's glory to provide comfort and relive old and fond memories. Sad but true.
Fortunately, Dallas Cowboys' history is full of such moments, so a stroll down memory lane can be leisurely taken. The glory received and the struggles to obtain it provide an ample amount of personal and shared narratives to recount.
And that's one of the good things about history. It can provide a balm for the immediate and sometimes the long-term pains associated with........................well, losing.
At the same time, there's always the future. There's nothing quite like the anticipation of looking ahead. Hopes, dreams, plans, expectations, excitement, eagerness and all other emotional states contrived by looking to the unknown and potentially experiencing the highest success help to propel us forward into fulfilling the void of what might be.
For Cowboys fans, tonight's game against the Giants is just the beginning of what is to be hopefully providing a future for today's young fans to one day look back to with the same enjoyment we find in reliving a rich gridiron history that began more than fifty years ago.
Go Cowboys!
