Since that point in time, I have always hated the Cowboys and love it anytime the Skins beat them. Last night I felt some measure of redemption for all of the suffering we have all been through for the past 10 years or more. The Skins may not win another game this season, but WE BEAT THE COWBOYS AT HOME IN FRONT OF THEIR CROWD!!! That is Awesome. Did you come up with the "Ring of Horror" I love it!

No, I got that one from the Nickname thread.
I wasn't paying attention to the game in 1979, (I was 5) but the loss that stings the most for me was in the '91 season at home to the Cowpies 24-21. 11-0 up to that point, and they ruin any thought of a perfect season -- and I truly think we were ripe for it.
