For a couple of years in a row, they had Cowboy camp in Wichita Falls (where I'm from). Saw them at the club one night and met, shook hands with Jerry Jones and got his autograph. He kinda reminded me of a perv but he was really nice.
Met and shook hands with Emmitt and he was very attentive. Big pearly white smile! So personable.
Troy didn't want to be bothered with anyone. Shook his hand but he was too busy drinking his beer to have a conversation.
One night they had a section of the club blocked off for VIP...missed this night but heard about it. ANYWHO, there was a lady in a wheel chair that went up to Troy. She tapped him on the arm a couple of times and when he finally turned around, he looked down at her and turned right back around without saying a word.
They key players stayed at the Holiday Inn which is VERY nice. Anyway, my mom's husband was the manager of the hotel at the time. He allowed the key players and Jerry Jones to stay in the hotel for free. The other players stayed at the college campus. Anyway, I heard about all sorts of wild parties! LOL
Mom's hubby got several free tickets from Jerry (which we went with them to a game...Cowboys vs. Redskins and Cowboys won) and an autographed helmit from Troy and a couple of autographed footballs (from all of the players). They gave me one of the footballs and it's tucked away for safe keeping.
