My Dad is a scholar of the American Frontier & knows a lot about Native American & Frontier relations. When I was young he told me in simple terms about the plight of the Indians. In the battles of Cowboys v.Indians, which were on tv a lot in the 70s, I always associated the Indians as being the good guys. That translated to football too.

The irony is that my Dad, who grew up listening to Eddie Lebaron's Skins teams on the radio, roots for the Cowboys! Ever since I was old enough to understand football - 3rd grade - my Dad & I would root against each other when watching games.

Loyal Skins fan since 77-8 season!
