Victoria Looked Much Different the Last Cowboys Super Win(1996)

After last night's big Dallas Cowboys win, Cowboys Nation is buzzing. American team defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 33-13 in what many will say is their first 'quality' this year and it was a good win but I need to see more. I am a Cowboys fan and I will not get excited about a playoff run just yet. However, the Cowboys are playing some great football right now. Here is one thing that is for sure, Dak is playing the best football of his career and has made a strong case for MVP. Fun Fact: the last Dallas Cowboys MVP winner was back in 1993: Emmit Smith. Oh, yeah! They just happened to win a Championship that same year. Let's go Cowboys!

With that being said, I thought we could have a little fun and take a look back to the last time that the Dallas Cowboys won a Super Bowl in 1996:

THE LAST TIME THE DALLAS COWBOYS WON THE SUPER BOWL...

IT WASN'T HEB-PLUS IT WAS SUPER K-MART

Yes, we used to have a Super K-Mart before it was demolished to make way for HEB Plus. If you really want to take it back, the original K-Mart was located where Lacks currently is.

WE HAD AN EPIC POOL HALL

Who remembers heading to Barney's Billiards? It was the biggest pool hall that Victoria had ever seen. I loved the vibe there, it was always so chill.

YOU SMELLED BREAD AS YOU DROVE DOWN LAURENT

That smell coming from Mrs. Bairdz Bakery was absolutely amazing. Not to mention the day-old bread store right behind the bakery.

LOOK: 50 famous memes and what they mean

With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it's hard to keep track. Just when you've grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. While the almost self-replicating nature of these vague symbols can get exhausting, memes in their essence can also bring people closer together—as long as they have internet access.
