Know your history

Unless you’ve followed the NFL from Super Bowl one, chances are you have to catch up on some serious backlogs. That’s okay. I did it. And, so can you.

Hit Amazon.com up for some old DVDs. Read some books. Get to know the old stars. Know how many Super Bowls the Cowboys attended. Memorize when. Do you know how many titles the team won?

Additionally, know about the Dez Bryant catch. Watch old games. Actually, watch many old games.

Yes, my friend, there will be a quiz. School is back.

Welcome to the brotherhood

You will see us fans everywhere. We got the hats, car decals, t-shirts and jerseys to prove it. When you see another fan, it’s common to say hello. And why not? We’re a family.

Next time you see a fellow fan, let them know you’re one too. Feel free to give a shout out. You’re not alone.

Last call

Again, I want to congratulate you on your decision to join Cowboys Nation. Honestly, the other 31 jerseys and colors are ugly anyways. You’re going to have a terrific time laughing at them. Well, I know I do.

One final message: be sure to pass this list to another person who is thinking about signing up. And finally, if you or your friend are bandwagon jumpers, we will find out. I, or another member of Cowboys Nation, will assist you out of the cabin.

So, enjoy the hard landing.
