UB's Thomas gets to Cowboy up

5

When he was 6 years old, Josh Thomas' father and grandfather handed him a No. 8 Troy Aikman jersey as a Christmas gift. It was the first of many Dallas Cowboys-related presents until one day Thomas finally asked his father about all the Cowboys gear. "That's your team," his father said. "You're going to be drafted by them someday."..."I grew up a Cowboy fan and I don't want to be anything but a Cowboy," I don't remember anyone else linking this story, you have to love the guys who grew up wanting to be a Cowboy.
