Hey guys my name is Jordan, and I'm a long time reader of the site. I haven't posted in a long time, but this week has brought me out of my offseason hibernation.

Living in Dallas and rooting for the Cowboys is a great joy, and I often have the oppurtunity to throw caution to the wind and go tailgate for America's Team. With the double dose of an open practice and the first home game of the season, I was thrown back into the world of football, and I walked away with some amazing memories. I'll try to convey what this week was like to be there for all you guys that can't make it to Texas Stadium.

First of all, like in my previous posts, I won't be doing much actual analysis. You guys do a good enough job of that all ready.

Second, I know this is a hard read, I don't know how this new format works

Yeah I know, you have no idea what this diary is about, but you're reading it anyways.  I expect nothing less from you guys.  Hungry...maybe even fiending like I do for more Cowboys info.  Sorry guys, it's my first diary in awhile, and I wanted to get you guys to read this no matter what.  

Selfish?

Maybe.

Read on and stroke my ego....

Promoted from the diaries by me.

BTB-regular Jordan found an article about the Cowboys uniforms throughout the years. This is perfect reading material for a bye week. If you got time to kill go click on all the links in this story. As Jordan says below, forget about the author's football analysis and hatred of Dallas, it's not worth the time. His annoyance factor ratings make the article feel like something the E channel would use to counter-program the Super Bowl broadcast. I imagined Joan Rivers making an appearance and asking Tony Romo what designer he was wearing. But the Cowboys definitely have had some quirks in their outfits...err...uniforms.

Here's Jordan's post.

I found this article on ESPN's website and found it pretty interesting.

Since I'm a young cowboys fan, I don't have extensive knowledge of uniforms worn in the past.  This turned out to be a pretty good read.  The writer, Paul Lukas, does a great job of spreading Cowboys hatred to the masses and generally hating on everything we love.  

He even uses and "annoyance factor" to rate the random parts of the uniform that he is looking at.

It's just downright unbelievable how the media hates us, and I'm always caught off guard when I here some pundit say something based on personal belief and not football.

But, like I said, I'm young.  I suppose I'll get used to it someday.

Ok, this is completly rumor, but Profootballtalk is reporting that the Chargers game on Sunday is most likely going to move.

Another game, another story.

It's a little different to post a diary like this after a loss, and just like last time I won't be doing too much analysis.

Like Terry said, this was a playoff atmosphere.  I met as many people from Texas as I did from Boston.  It was insane, within 5 miles of the stadium the atmosphere was electric.  It seemed as though even the scalpers had a pep in their step (and why not, what with the scalped seats going for $300 a pop?)  People were screaming from their cars, and trash talking was exchanged between all rival vehicles.

My friends and I always go around before the game and give out score predictions.

Although I rarely remember what they pick, or even what I pick, it's always fun to see what everyone else is thinking.
