And - my pain goes back a couple of years prior... 1968... 12-2... just assumed as a 12 year old kid we were destined for Super Bowl III... only to be crushed in the 2nd half of the playoff game against the Browns... and the game being called when the fans hit the field at the end of the game.
Sadness filled my heart.
That was the first game Cowboys lost in their original royal blue uniforms. Never saw that game but heard and read about it. Its just that Super Bowl V left such a bad taste in my mouth. All those missed opportunities early in the game and only ended up with field goals. Then a super crap T.D. by the Colts that was tipped. Knocked Unitas out of the game. Got robbed on a Manders fumble recovery. But aside all that misfortune, the great Doomsday I defense started the 4th period with an interception and gave Morton a 13 - 7 lead. Morton decided the throw the game away with 3 4th quarter interceptions.
All still vivid in my mind... and mercifully laid to waste the following year.
Still to this day, I've never gotten over that game. The most hurtful game to me to this day. Even more than Super Bowl XIII.
