[speaker001:] uh I don't know I'm not a real uh great football follower I guess there are two basic teams that I seem to follow every year one is the Dallas Cowboys and the other is the Oklahoma Sooners
[speaker002:] oh okay
[speaker001:] uh being a a native Okie I uh I like to keep up with what the homeboys are doing uh
[speaker002:] I see so you make it uh to that Longhorns Sooners game every year
[speaker001:] no no it's funny uh I got out and got my bachelor's degree in uh seventy three and uh never went to a game there and have never gone to a game since
[speaker002:] how about that
[speaker001:] but I always enjoyed watching them I just growing up in Oklahoma there it was always the home team kind of like Dallas is around here
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] and there's always been an interest there
[speaker002:] well it's kind of same for me I I grew up in southern New Jersey and the local team was Philadelphia and they were like thirty miles right up the river
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and I'm still pretty much an Eagle fan I guess
[speaker001:] I guess you keep those things you grew up with I worked in uh Missouri for a while and uh I was probably the only one in the room several times when we were watching football on TV when the Cowboys were playing the Saint Louis Cardinals and I was rooting for the Cowboys
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] but they were kind of closer to home when when I struck up with them I really don't know what's going to take place with the Cowboys this year uh everybody keeps talking about the reconstruction they're going through and new players and how next year is going to be even bigger and better than the previous year in a way that happened this past season and I think there's quite a bit of optimism around here that still there's a chance that maybe uh these guys are right maybe they will come through and and do something this year I look for it to be a pretty good year
[speaker002:] boy they uh they sure did have a big turn around from a couple of years ago
[speaker001:] they did uh they got rid of a lot of familiar names and got a lot of names in that we weren't weren't familiar with some of them turned out to be pretty good players uh some of them didn't and you know maybe the stuff that uh Jerry Jones is talking about the construction and redefining the team and maybe the effort might be starting to pay off at least we hope it will
[speaker002:] yeah I'm I keep waiting for the Eagles to get over the hump they make it to the play-offs it seems for the last few years but they just have done absolutely nothing when they got there and you know they've got a lot of the tools to do it but doggone if they can't just put it together uh you know they have got the quarterback there in Randal Cunningham who's just you know phenomenal but he he's too streaky it seems
[speaker001:] yeah but they have always been a really strong team
[speaker002:] yeah yeah and with without a whole lot of big name players they have got a few anchors on offense and defense and you know they they've managed with those guys and I don't know
[speaker001:] once the pressure gets turned on they they seem to loose it see that's the typical trait of the Dallas Cowboys and and the Oklahoma Sooners it's funny over the years
[speaker002:] I guess yeah yeah I guess since Staubach left they haven't been able to keep it going yeah
[speaker001:] it's it's been a rough tow a rough road to hoe ever since he left I don't know why it's so hard to find uh a good quarterback these days
[speaker002:] yeah well that that says a lot for the for his ability though I think for Staubach's I mean you know
[speaker001:] well yeah you know he was one of the few who've come through in history that can really perform uh we hope every team hopes their current quarterback is going to pull them through in a way Aikman has done some of that
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but uh the guy winds up getting hurt every other game
[speaker002:] yeah I I tell you it's difficult in that guy's position coming into that because there he was just so highly touted by the press and everybody expected so many big things you know
[speaker001:] yeah they did they put a lot of pressure on him from the outside and from the inside uh it's funny watching them them play he's probably like a lot of quarterbacks uh when the pressure is really on when it's down to the last few minutes of the game for the season is when the guys seem to really do their best
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and I haven't quite figured that out if they figure they have got it won or if there's no real hurry because the first three quarters or uh if uh if something happens that that adrenaline starts flowing they say hey we got to do something now and then start playing the game the way the game should be played toward the last few minutes
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so I don't know I'm looking for for a good year I guess we're always looking for a good year
[speaker002:] so obviously though do you think they're going to do anything in the play-offs to make it to the Super Bowl this year or who do you who do you like to do that this year
[speaker001:] uh no I don't think the Cowboys have got a chance I think they will probably win one or two more games than they did this year and they'll get close to it they'll probably get everybody's hopes up and blow it toward the end
[speaker002:] so who's going to beat them who are they going to blow it to
[speaker001:] uh that's a good question uh I'm figuring either one either the Eagles or possibly San Francisco I'm not real sure
[speaker002:] boy they'd some big changes speaking of them
[speaker001:] they did so I don't know how these changes are going to help or hinder the team sometimes it brings in new motivation and all you can do is get out of the way because here they come
[speaker002:] yeah I'm sure you know my sentimental favorite would have to be Philadelphia but I I sure am scared of them Giants
[speaker001:] well that's true
[speaker002:] those guys are tough
[speaker001:] they are tough and they're big they're mean and they are going to come right through you if you don't do something
[speaker002:] yeah now that that sure was a fun Super Bowl to watch this year I mean I wasn't pulling for either team but that was just a good football game
[speaker001:] oh yeah yeah no no and it's funny you know You like to pull for the underdog and for a long time I was pulling for Denver
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] uh Marino makes me just crazy mad sometimes because of some of the stupid stuff he does but he's a good quarterback he's got a good arm sometimes it's too good because he throws too hard
[speaker002:] LA you mean
[speaker001:] I mean LA sorry
[speaker002:] yeah boy speaking of Denver on another subject I've been up there like five times in the last three four weeks
[speaker001:] oh yeah
[speaker002:] yeah we've trying get this new DNB two thousand printer up and running
[speaker001:] had been uh snowing up there
[speaker002:] oh boy I was just up there I just got back last night around eleven thirty or so and it was about seven inches of snow on the ground and it snowed all day
[speaker001:] wow well that will make the skiers happy
[speaker002:] oh yeah yeah if if it snowed that much in Denver you know they got that much up in the mountains you know just west of there
[speaker001:] oh you bet oh yeah up around the Keystone and Copper Mountain those guys will love that well good to talk to you
[speaker002:] yeah enjoyed it Bob
[speaker001:] you guys have a good time keep those printers coming
[speaker002:] hey we'll do it
[speaker001:] all right bye
[speaker002:] bye-bye
