The title is just a joke. But the scene was really like that was Super Bowl game. Every time when a starter appeared, fans at the sideline cheered aloud. They cheered for quarterback Tony Romo’s arrival, then for wide receiver Miles Austin, and they cheered even louder when rookie receiver Dez Bryant caught his first long touchdown pass.
Scene of Bryant wearing number 88 catching the pass reminded the fans of the former wearer of the number, legendary wide receiver Michael Irvin. Wearing the Number 88 Michael Irvin jersey, Irvin led the Cowboys to three Super Bowl victories, so when the team gave the number to rookie Bryant, it meant a high expectation on him. The Cowboys have not made any Super Bowl appearance since 1995, and a lot of people expect the team to reach the Super Bowl XLV following the 2010 season.
Another link between the weekend practice and the Super Bowl is that the Cowboys Stadium will hold the Super Bowl XLV game in early 2011, so practicing in the stadium just gives the team a feeling of rehearsing for the Super Bowl.
