You gotta like Aikman

But you know what? Sometimes you gotta call ‘time’ on the rivalry. Just as Troy Aikman, and many Cowboy fans did after the death of Sean Taylor. He/they were one of, if not the first, to reach out to us during that devastating time. He's also a damn good (and fair!) commentator. I pray we wipe the Cowboys every year; if I saw Aikman, I’d tell him so. But I’d also say congratulations on returning to school, and on your graduation. It’s called good sportsmanship.

Good post. I feel the same way for the most part. Aikman is a solid broadcaster and was a great player. I hated going up against him, but I respect him on and off the field.
