We'd like to hear from you by 10:00am CST tomorrow morning  (Tuesday), if we don't hear from you, we'll move on to our runner-up winner.

Congratulations again to Oscar and all of the entrants. We received several great stories of Cowboys fandom and pictures attesting to your dedication to this thing we have here. Stay tuned for future contests and giveaways by likeing our Facebook page and following us on Twitter (@BloggingTheBoys)

As always, Fear The Star.

A little shameless self-promotion, if the community will indulge me for a moment. BTB has a partnership with TiqIQ, a company that sells tickets to sporting events. In preparation for football season, they've created a contest where they are giving away $200 worth of tickets to a lucky Cowboys fan. How do you get said tickets? I'm glad you asked.

First, you click this link and go to the BTB Facebook page for Tickets. When you get there, click the "Like" link towards the top, Then post your prediction. What prediction? From TiqIQ:

Win $200 worth of tickets to a game of your choice in the TiqIQ NFL Kickoff contest by predicting: 
1. Final score of the 1st Cowboys game, and winner
2. Who will score the 1st TD in that game
3. How many yards the play will cover for the 1st TD

Whoever comes closest wins the $200 worth of tickets. Also, we have continuous ticket service here at BTB, so if you're looking for game tickets, click this link or follow the navigation at the top that says "Tickets".

Thanks for your time. Now back to regular programming.

When things are going bad, you have to look for the ray of sunshine, you have to find the silver lining in every cloud. (I sound like a weatherman). So with the Cowboys craptastic 1-5 season in full swing, what possible good can we find? Besides Dez Bryant's future. How about it's now cheaper to attend a Cowboys game. Yup, in these dark economic times, you're now going to get a break if you want to attend a game, say, like the upcoming Jaguars game. Before the Romo injury, an average ticket price was about $180. Now, they look to be around $138. That's a 23% decrease since Romo's clavicle went crack. So at least you may save a few bucks.

If you're interested in tickets, visit the BTB Ticker Center powered by TiqIQ.

That's right! BTB is now in the business of providing you easy access to tickets for Dallas Cowboys games. Over the years we've had threads about tickets to this game or that game, and early on in this blog's life we used to accept text ads from ticket brokers. Well, we can put that behind us now, if you're looking for tickets to a Cowboys game, all you have to do is click the Tickets link in the navigation bar at the top. TiqIQ not only sells tickets to games, but they provide us fun information about how certain players, rivalries or other aspects of the game actually affect ticket prices. We'll pass those along to you every so often.

For this week, and this introduction post, we'll just show you the average tickets prices to the homes games this season. It looks like everybody is willing to pay $$$ to see the Super Bowl Champs, the New Orleans Saints, on Turkey Day.
