I've been a Dallas Cowboys fan all my life (since I first understood what football was and that my father was a Redskins fan). The fan bandwagon has been rather empty the last several years, but apparently, it's starting to fill up again.

I've seen more Dallas Cowboys hats and flags and t-shirts the last couple of weeks than I have in a long time. Maybe it's because I'm in the San Fran bay area and both the 49ers and Raiders suck? Perhaps the fan base left over from all those years the Cowboys had training came in Thousand Oaks is larger than I thought? Interesting as well is the Fan Roster at SportingNews.com. Dallas is at the top. Haven't seen that before.
