And what is that reason? Too successful? Hell, the Steelers have more Lombardis than Dallas. But I can see that, especially with the "glamor" factor. Proximity is important too, considering your audience here.

counting the 70s as a dynasty?

that's cute

There are also a lot of trashy bandwagon Cowboys fans all over Texas and they get annoying.

Trust me, Dallas doesn't have an exclusive on trashy bandwagon fans. They are plentiful, but hardly unique.

I was speaking more to the media love, which IMO doesn't have as much to do with the "tradition" as it does their brand.

I don't, but their fans do. It's just another reason to despise them.

I personally grew up in California and moved to Texas when I was 7. That was about the time that Jerry Jones bought the team and fired Tom Landry, to my grandfather that was like firing God. He still followed the Cowboys but then they went and hired Barry Switzer (an ou coach) and that was it. My grandfather swore off the cowboys, I figured what was good enough for him was good enough for me. I decided I'd follow the Houston Oilers, and since I was an Oilers fan I'd be an Astros and Rockets fan too.

It's kind of a dumb reason to like teams I'll give you that, but it's served me well, because if I liked a team out of Dallas now I'd have to kick my own arse.


Edit: To give a little more insight. True Texas Longhorn fans despise Jerry Jones for being a Razorback. He loves the Razorbacks, and he hired a Sooner. You can't really be much worse of a human being unless you add loved an aggy to that list.
