[QUOTE=12thMan]Hey, great segway into tonights game - New Orleans is now officially America's team. How did the Cowpokes get that name anyway??[/QUOTE]

some idiot in the media probably called them that once and it was all over after that.... tends to be how it goes down...

i kinda wish the QB change happened a couple days later, it'd give me something to do besides sit around until class starts...

[QUOTE=BrudLee]Thanks. They gave me this [url="http://www.cowboysplus.com/topstory/stories/091905cpcowgameday.6f973492.html"]link[/url], which leads off with this headline:

[size=3]Gameday: Cowboys (1-0) vs. Washington (0-1)[/size]

Editors on strike?[/QUOTE]

Actually I thought it was pretty accurate. We are going to have to play a tight game. Few mistakes, move the chains, and just as the reporter says, let Portis control the game. Williams and his Jailbreaks can do the rest!

yeah that's pretty much how it went down:

"JAN. 1979
Dallas completes their 13rd consecutive winning season, and enters into their record 5th Super Bowl. AND Pittsburgh beats Dallas, 35-31, in Super Bowl XIII. After the 1978 season, Bob Ryan, NFL films editor, names the Cowboys "America's team"."

I Like The Idea Of Paging Yourself Over The Intercom Without Throwing Off Your Voice. But I Think I Like Sitting On The Side Of The Road Pointing A Hairdryer At Cars And Watching Them Slow Down Better.

Less than eight hours...arrgh!

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

This is the biggest thumb twiddling day I can imagine. Counting the minutes until kickoff.

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

cant study for CPA with game on my mind.... i wish it started even 1 hr earlier at 8pm

Re: Is this game ever going to start???
 

The more I think about it the more I can't help but think of how HUGE of a game this is for us.

We really need to get this monkey off our backs... to beat Dallas in Dallas would be a huge step forward.

Then there's the issue of division games, we need to start winning these if we're going to even start thinking about challenging the Eagles for the division.

We need this game, bad. Gibbs needs it and dammit we the fans need it!

I think it's time for one of those famous Gibbs' speeches where he tells the team if you have anything left to give the Redskins you need to give it tonight!

But as you said, it's a divisional game...plus we've already beaten the Bears - two NFC teams back-to-back.

One or two more conference wins last year and we're a wildcard team.
