    Consider the "only person in the world" LAS VEGAS because I highly doubt the outcomes matched the predictions equally.

    We're comparing a last-minute victory vs a damn blowout.

    I got your back. My Dad was a die-hard cowboy fan back from the day they started ('60 Bob Lilly was his hero, and in HS playing DT he got damn close)...so I didn't learn to really dislike them until the day they fired Tom Landry. Dorsett and Randy White and Too Tall Jones and those guys were who I grew up watching along with the Oilers #1

    I thought it was known that you are a fan of a college team usually because you went there

    If houstonians were just fans of the colleges in their cities , u of h and rice would have 100000 fans at their stadium

    I guess these are young people who didn’t experience the oilers

    The cowboys have always been the most popular team in Texas .
    In college the biggest cowboy fans were fellow Houstonians

    They also show the cowboys all the time on tv
    And when there was no team in Houston people had to watch the cowboys

    There's a massive difference between the pre-Jerry-era Cowboys and the post-Jerry Cowboys.

    I was rooting hard for the Rams of St. Louis when they denied the ex-Oilers of Tennessee a ring (I got *this* close to throwing a bimbo out of my house party when she yelled "Go Oilers!" in the 1Q). I always loved Eric Dickerson and Youngblood and Slater. If the Saints can't win it, I hope the LA Rams do. Or the Chargers, that would be cool, love those helmets.

    Shine? Jordan? Just use the man’s name instead of trying to sound like you’re in the know and confuse the hell out of everyone else.

    I said Jordan because Swinney referred to him as that.
