http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/GabeSemenza/8471 This debate could get ugly. As a lifelong Cowboys fan who has lived in about 15 states, I know firsthand that others either love the Cowboys or passionately hate 'em. But how do Victorians feel? Coy Slavik, Advocate sports editor, wants to know. He sent an e-mail this morning to me, a Cowboys fan, and to Billy Mau, a Texans supporter and a member of the newspaper's sports department. "Billy and Gabe: I'd like I'd like you two guys to hash out this debate in the form of a 12-inch story for the football tab." Billy and I argue regularly about the two teams. Now, it's your turn. Which team is Victoria's Team? If you prefer to e-mail or call in your response, reach me at gsemenza@vicad.com or 361-580-6519. Thanks for your help, Gabe Semenza/Advocate public service editor.

Considering the fact that I'd be permanently barred from my parents' home if I didn't like them, I'm going to vote for the Cowboys. Plus, I have a soft spot for Troy Aikman. :) http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/GabeSemenza/8471/#c_63280 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/GabeSemenza/8471/#c_63280 Considering the fact that I'd be permanently barred from my parents' home if I didn't like them, I'm going to vote for the Cowboys.

But no matter where you go, Cowboys haters do, too. I'm going to quote you both for the story if you have no objections.

Thanks, Gabe I became a Cowboys fan when I was in the military mostly in self defense due to being stationed with a bunch of Giants, Redskins and Philly fans.  And speaking of ugly unis, I hope they don't wear those stupid throwback unis this season. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/GabeSemenza/8471/#c_63297 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/GabeSemenza/8471/#c_63297 I became a Cowboys fan when I was in the military mostly in self defense due to being stationed with a bunch of Giants, Redskins and Philly fans.  And speaking of ugly unis, I hope they don't wear those stupid throwback unis this season. Yeah, Gabe you can quote me. Just choose a fabulous avatar instead of a picture of me. :) And who doesn't hate the throwback unis? Yuck. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/GabeSemenza/8471/#c_63318 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/GabeSemenza/8471/#c_63318 Yeah, Gabe you can quote me.

No question. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/GabeSemenza/8471/#c_63362 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/GabeSemenza/8471/#c_63362 It's been hard to admit since Jethro Bodine bought them, but COWBOYS.
