Recently Emily Fowler hosted former Fred Moore High School Dragon football players to talk about what it was like playing for C.H. Collins during the 50’s and 60’s.  We filmed the event, and now you can check out the DVD.

Texas Stadium

On this day in 1971, the Dallas Cowboys played their first game in Texas Stadium, beating the Patriots, 44-21.  In 2009, we will have to say a sad good-bye to the old stadium, as it gets plowed over to make room for some “upscale living” sites.  From 1971-today there has some outstanding talent and outrageous personalities on the fields and the sidelines at Texas Stadium; hopefully, the new stadium in Arlington, will not betray the Cowboys’ status as a local and national institution.
