6666 Ranch cowboys sick and tired of being mistaken for DALLAS COWBOYS every time they go into town…

GUTHRIE, TX – It’s a case of mistaken identity that’s been causing quite a stir in the quaint town of Guthrie, Texas. Cowboys from the historic 6666 Ranch find themselves perpetually entangled in a web of confusion with their gridiron counterparts, the Dallas Cowboys, every time they step into town.

The mix-up might sound amusing at first, but for these ranch hands, the novelty has worn off. “I can’t even grab a coffee without someone asking me about my ‘game plan,'” laments Jake Henderson, a seasoned cowboy at the ranch. “Unless by ‘game plan’ they mean dealing with a stubborn herd of cattle.”

The confusion seems to stem from the iconic star symbol associated with the Dallas Cowboys, a logo that unwittingly mirrors the star-studded life of a Texas cowboy. However, the similarities, according to the ranch crew, end there.

Local businesses have inadvertently fueled the fire, decking out their establishments in blue and silver every football season, leading to even more mix-ups. “We appreciate the support for the local team, but maybe we could add some ranch motifs to the decor?” suggests Henderson, half-jokingly.

The 6666 Ranch cowboys have tried various strategies to clear up the confusion. Some have taken to wearing explicitly labeled “RANCH” gear, while others try to inject humor into the situation, responding to football-related queries with witty retorts about rodeo life.

Tourists, too, have been caught up in the comedy of errors, with some arriving at the ranch expecting a stadium tour rather than a horseback riding experience. “It’s always a surprise for them,” says ranch manager Sarah Kimball. “But they leave with a newfound appreciation for the cowboy lifestyle, even if it’s not what they initially expected.”

Even the local sports bar has seen its fair share of mix-ups, with ranch cowboys being asked for autographs or game insights. Bartender Luke Daniels recounts, “It’s all in good fun, but I’ve started keeping a cheat sheet under the bar for football talk, just to help the guys out.”

Despite the challenges, the 6666 Ranch cowboys maintain a good sense of humor about the situation. They’ve even extended an open invitation to the Dallas Cowboys to experience a day in the life of a ranch cowboy. “Let’s see how they handle a lasso compared to a football,” chuckles Henderson.

In the end, the town of Guthrie has come to embrace the quirky identity crisis, celebrating the unique blend of cowboy cultures that converge within its borders. Whether on the gridiron or the open range, it seems there’s no shortage of cowboys in this Texas town, each with their own field of expertise.

So, the next time you’re in Guthrie and spot someone in cowboy attire, take a moment to consider which kind of cowboy you’re addressing. Chances are, they’ve got a story to tell, whether it’s about scoring touchdowns or herding cattle under the vast Texas sky.
