How 'Bout Them Cowboys!!!!!!!!!!!!

the mob of people down on the field before it started... this isn't even half the people on the field... much less up in the seats!


WooooooooooHoooooooo!!!! That's the excitement I still have left over from going to the kickoff for the Cowboys Training Camp last night (Tues night)!! So fun! Actually... there was about 45 minutes that I could've completely done without... I'll explain in a minute. But, other than that 45 minutes, it was so much fun!



Now, you may not have had as much fun if you aren't as big of a Cowboy's fan as I am! Let me refresh your memory of what I wanted for my birthday last year...

As I've said before, I'm like a guy when it comes to football!!! Give me football ANY DAY over shopping, talking, or anything "girly"!!!! I'm like the guy (boyfriend, husband, dad, brother, etc) that will ask you to wait until commercial to talk to me when there is football on!!! ;o) Especially if it's my Cowboys (even when they aren't playing good!). So, back to the point... after work we headed to the Alamo Dome for the kick off! We've gone to the training camps each year when they've been here, but we never made it to the "kick off". It was great because they had concerts (one was good, the other... I'll get on my soapbox about in a minute)... but the BEST was when they introduced each player!

Since I don't have many (if any) male readers, girls, you may not understand all this... so I'll keep it short. But, they introduced the players by their positions (i.e. offensive line, Defensive line, running backs, etc). Welp, my FAVORITE player, Marion Barber, is a running back. When it came time for them to come out, they introduce all the rookies of each position first. They save the "better/best" players for the last of their groups. Barber was of course the last... 'cuz he is the BEST!! I lost my voice from screaming for him, Witten, Romo, and MANY other players! Steve did quite a bit of yelling too... he was just fortunate to not lose his voice! I would post the video of our favorite players coming on stage and you can hear us both screaming! It was quite humorous to hear... I guess we are "fanatics"! I'll spare your ears so you don't have to hear it!) Now, to the part that made me feel like this....

For 45 minutes they had a band perform. Now, the first band was country... totally cool and in English. The key word there is that it was in E.N.G.L.I.S.H. The second band, not so much! Not a SINGLE WORD OF ENGLISH! It was ALL in SPANISH... even when they talked to the audience in between or during songs!! So, that was a little annoying to me. Here's a little taste of what we had to hear for 45 minutes... (It made me wonder what other football teams do for their kickoff... do they bring in bands that only speak/sing in Spanish or another foreign language too????)
