Round two of our Midsummer Madness tournament is underway! Today’s match-up features top seed Roger Staubach facing off against eight seed Cliff Harris. Who will advance to the Sweet Sixteen?
Today's match-up is between two men who spent their careers as teammates and stand as icons from the greatest decade in Cowboys history. Top-seeded Roger Staubach and eighth-seeded Cliff Harris each had his early career truncated due to military service, and both retired in 1979, after being Cowboys for the duration of the 70s. Indeed, Staubach's retirement at the end of the '79 season has been marked as a turning point in Cowboys' history, but one could argue that "Captain Crash"s retirement was similarly impactful.
