About something that has nothing to do with the Cowboys?

I couldn't tell you where Cooper Rush went and I'm certainly a die hard.

It's literally irrelevant to our fandom.

Self-admitted "die hards" would know where the most important player on the team played college ball. It's part of their biography. Hell, even casual fans know that Staubach went to Navy and Aikman to UCLA. I'll give them a pass if they didn't know he made a pitstop at OU.

 

[Irving Cowboy]

Wrong. He went to Devry.

He redshirted there then transferred to ITT Tech.

This

 

[bbgun]

He was a legend at Ole Miss.

Nah. It's pretty irrelevant.

 

[bbgun]

Nah. It's pretty irrelevant.

It's irrelevant to his play. It's not irrelevant to calling yourself a knowledgeable fan.

 

[Smitty]

It's irrelevant but it's interesting and I would generally expect a die-hard to have followed the player enough to know when it's your star QB.

Yeah, I don't know where Cooper Rush went either, but I know Ezekiel Elliott went to Ohio State, I know that Micah Parsons went to Penn State, I know Tony Romo went to Eastern Illinois, I know Dez Bryant went to OSU, I know Emmitt Smith went to Florida, Michael Irvin went to Miami, and Troy Aikman went to UCLA.

You generally know where the big guns went because you read a ton about them and remember it.

 

[bbgun]

I know Tony Romo went to Eastern Illinois

 

[Cotton]

Notice all but one of those people were female.

 

[bbgun]

But if you asked them who Romo went to Cabo with ...

 

[Genghis Khan]

It's irrelevant to his play. It's not irrelevant to calling yourself a knowledgeable fan.

Nah. There are a lot of people that just don't give a shit about what happens in college (maybe not so much in Texas, but still). It's irrelevant to being a fan.

Hell, I probably could name the college for about 10 current players. (I do know where Dak went.)

It's literally irrelevant to being a fan.

 

[Cotton]

Novacek?

 

[bbgun]

A die hard fan would know he went to MSU. Not how many TDs he threw there, but that he played there.

 

[bbgun]

Novacek?

True, but there's a reason you happen to know about Dak. Its not accident or coincident.

You normally are much better at sensing sarcasm.

I knew it was one of the small Michigan universities but I kept thinking it was Michigan State even though I knew that was wrong.

 

[p1_]

Rush is a backup. He is somewhat irrelevant.

 

[bbgun]

Our third stringer went to some low rent school in the Dakotas.

 

[Rev]

What about Wally?
