Speaking of Dallas Cowboy Quarterbacks

[BOSSHOG]

Troy Aikman finally finished those last two courses and will graduate in June from UCLA 20 years after he left for the NFL. The Dallas Morning News Reports Aikman will receive a Bachelor's in Sociology and will participate in UCLA grad ceremonies this summer. This should result in more intense psychoanalysis of the NFL player and his place in society as we listen in next Fall.

1. I know its kind of meaningless but I'm glad he did it.

I actually kinda like Aikman. Unlike most Cowpies he doesn't seem like a total a-hole.

2. I think its great when an athlete uses his off time

to further his education instead of shooting up a nightclub. He is an enigma relative to being a cowboy. A rather decent chap, who didn't quite fit the zoo persona.

3. Good for him! Excellent. nt

4. My favorite moment was when Aikman showed up at Michael Irvin's trial.

He didn't support what Irvin did and showing up there could have tarnished Aikman's image, but supporting his teammate and friend was most important.

5. I remember when he was arguing with Barry Switzer on the sidelines during a game with the Packers

Switzer was running up the score and Aikman was arguing against it.
