Probably depends on your age.

I'm a 9ers fan that suffered through 4 straight years of meetings in the playoffs and only 1 win. Those 3 rings Aikman has, while well deserved, could very easily have been claimed by Young and the 9ers.

You don't forget that. Those games turned on fine margins and it's a lot more of a bitter pill to swallow when you know you're a great team but there's another, very, very, very slightly better team blocking your road.
