I was at that game.
And on behalf of Cowboys fans everywhere, I still can't thank Neil O'Donnell enough.

And Larry Brown.
I was probably getting stoned a lot in those days, but I didn't remember this...anyone else?
Tempe was originally chosen as the venue for Super Bowl XXVII. However, the NFL pulled the game away from Arizona after the league joined a massive, nationwide tourist boycott by various groups to protest the state’s refusal to recognize Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. After Arizona finally adopted the federal holiday in 1992, the NFL again began to consider Tempe. NFL owners voted to award Super Bowl **** to Tempe, Arizona during their March 23, 1993 meeting.[2]
I don't remember that either. Of course, I was pretty young then.
All I know is that stadium was an awful place for a Super Bowl. All bench seating. No seatbacks. Had to walk up a gigantic hill to get to the stadium. It was surprising that they'd have it there.
And yes, Larry Brown came up huge. And then promptly lost his job. But he's still living off that game in Dallas.
I also remember Michael Irvin getting screwed out of a TD in the first quarter.
But I'm really glad the refs were able to get a call right later in the game on a "muffed" punt before instant replay. One of the Cowboys was blocked into the ball and Pittsburgh fell on it.
I still think Troy Aikman was/is one of the best QB's to play the game. Man I miss that whole team. Aikman, Novachek, Johnston, Norton Jr., Hailey, Bates. Truly a team of destiny. Would have won four Superbowls in a row if Johnson hadn't left.
I remember the parties afterwards. Sadly, everyone knew that was going to be the last one for awhile. But like OU in 2000, didn't think there would be no more championships for so many years. I'm starting to wonder when OU or 'Boys will get another one. Definitely have more confidence in OU.
Yea, we never know. That was a horrible NFC game for the cowboys. If i remember correctly it started of really bad with Irvin fumbling a long completion and Merton Hanks running it back for a TD. I just remember it was an uncharacteristic game for the cowboys with turnovers.
As a Redskin fan this is the only time I found myself cheering for the Cowboys. Of course I had to take a three hour shower afterward as I felt cheap and dirty.
