"The moment the announcement was made, fans came running to the 'Dome to purchase their season tickets. It was chaos - a true stampede if I ever saw one" confirmed one employee. According to the official record, season tickets for the 2015/16 season sold out in record time: fourteen minutes and thirty one seconds. As has been the ritual from their first season in 2010, Cowboys and Cowgirls will be given their very own cowboy hat as dawned by their team's logo upon arriving to the first game of the season.
"We thought it would be a good PR stunt." explained the new Cowboy coach Mike Bigcock. "You know, kind of like how teams hand out towels to their playoff fans. But instead, the Cowboys are going to be giving their fans something to put on their heads and unite all season long. The playoffs are going to start right out of the gate for the Cowboys." Bigcock continued: "The level of fan excitement that is going to be present in the Saddledome on the 15th is going to be like nothing the players have ever experienced. I think we're going to be bringing our best game to the ice and the fans are going to have a show worth every penny."
Bigcock was asked by many reporters about his coaching strategy with an elite team such as the cowboys. Until now, the questions have gone unanswered but Cowboy reporter Andrew Hendrix was finally able to have their new leader answer a few of the burning questions. Hendrix asked Bigcock what he would do differently from their last coach, Scott Hendry (Burlington, ON).

Hendrix asked about Bigcock's feelings on the front and back end of the Cowboys.
"You know I think we have one of the tightest teams across each line, laterally and vertically. I think it's important that the boys on the back line remember to keep their pokes clean and to make sure they don't commit too hard to the outside. That's something that we've been working on during training and I think we're starting to see the defensive game tighten right up. As for the offense, I think the Cowboys are going to light up the scoreboard all year long. We've got guys like Bumbai and Magic leading the team right out of the gate, and Dusty's ability to win the draws is unparalleled in my opinion. I mean, you've got these guys who are born to score. We've seen them in the N (Bigcock is referring to the farm league for the EASHL, the NHL) - guys like Crosby and Gretzky who are just born with a certain spirit for the game. And I think our scouts have done a phenomenal job getting a group of those guys together over the years. This team keeps getting stronger and I'm just here to guide them to the top where they've been time and again."
Ex-coach of five years Scott Hendry spoke to the media and released a short statement regarding his feelings on the coaching change.
"Oh COME on. Without me, they're done dude."
Regardless of the reality, it would seem that Mike Bigcock promises an even more eccentric offensive presence, and a somehow tighter defensive prowess this year.
