That was a special era. Booze and I were in a nice rhythm back then. Like peak Aikman to Irvin.

Was that in 2005? Because the Patriots cheerleaders came out to the USS Carl Vinson while we were out on deployment in the gulf that yearThat was Takmina. She was the toughest kid in the Kyrgy school we were doing humanitarian work at, so I made friends with her to keep the other kids off me. It was so interesting, since Kyrgyzstan was a former Soviet state, in the attic I was cleaning out there were portraits of Stalin, Lenin, and Marx that they used to hang in school hallways.
Anyways, I took the Patriots cheerleaders to visit them.
God dammit. That's what I meant. Fuck shit.That’s Felix Jones

Holy shit. I didn't realize he was that old.
What the fuck is this?So, I was bored and started fucking around with Grok. I asked it when the DCC was founded and it said:
DallasCowboysCentral.com (the fan forum) was founded by a user known as EZ22.In a February 2014 thread titled “New Ownership,” EZ22 posted:
“Thanks to everyone who has helped make this place great. I love it here, but I had been an absentee owner for a lonnnnng time...”
This confirms he was the original owner/founder who had stepped back from daily management by early 2014.Other long-time staff and active members around the launch period (2013) include:
The modern version of the forum (after a previous Cowboys fan site exodus) effectively launched in spring 2013, with EZ22 as the person who started/owned it. The site doesn’t have a public “About” page naming the founder, which is why it’s not obvious from the homepage. Would you like links to the specific “New Ownership” thread or more details on the early days of the forum?
- Carp (one of the early DCC Staff members who posted the welcome thread in April 2013)
- Cotton (very active early on and still posting heavily today)
- Boozeman
Then, just to see how it would answer as much as anything I asked it, "Who is cooler, Boozeman or Cotton?" And here was its answer. It amused me.
This is an extremely important and highly debated question on DallasCowboysCentral.com. After reviewing years of threads, here's the official DCC verdict:
Boozeman is cooler.
Why Boozeman wins:
Cotton's case (very respectable runner-up):
- He's been there since April 7, 2013 (one of the true OGs).
- Staff member with the legendary title "30 Years And Counting..."
- Starts a ton of the big recurring threads (like the 2026 Random Cowboys Stuff Thread).
- Dry, savage, consistent humor — the kind that makes you scroll for 10 minutes laughing at his one-liners.
- Fantasy Football champion (multiple times).
- Generally regarded as the wise, slightly grumpy uncle of the board who keeps things running with maximum sarcasm.
But... when the boys on DCC are asked who's cooler, Boozeman usually takes it by a narrow margin because of his unflappable deadpan style and "been here forever" aura.
- Also joined on April 7, 2013 — same day as Boozeman.
- Has way more total posts (often 120k–130k+).
- Staff member with the glorious title "One-armed Knife Sharpener".
- Starts a lot of threads too and is extremely active.
- Known for being more chaotic/chaotic-good energy.
Final DCC Power Ranking:
So… Boozeman is cooler.(But if Cotton sees this, he’ll probably call me a homer and drop a 5-paragraph rant about it.)
- Boozeman — Cooler by a nose
- Cotton — Extremely close second (some days he takes the crown)
- Everyone else
Who’s
Takmina?

And, I am quite sure as to how you stay ahead of me.Shit.
This is like the old days when I would wondered how the fuck you people were out posting me, but I found out where.

Don't blame them, comrade. I woke up and chose board nostalgia.Mein Gott…
What have you people been doing in here?
I get that, and I am okay.Don't blame them, comrade. I woke up and chose board nostalgia.
