Lucky guy, Congrats

was thinking about getting tickets for Giants Cowboys for my birthday since we’ll be in town – it’s been almost a year since I last got to go home and visit Texas, so pumped to put boots back on Texas soil.

Congrats Oscar...

I’m lucky enough to be going to the game myself.
Hopefully we will be seeing Miles and Jenkins back too.

How is the weather in Arizona this time of year anyway? Coming from the Chi-town cold…

Go Cowboys.....Go White Sox.....

by goat3000 on Nov 28, 2011 11:29 AM CST reply actions

I'll be at the game as well.

And congrats to Oscar.

The weather in Arizona this time of year is awesome! Hopefully they will open the roof this weekend.

I have seen all the cowboys games in Arizona since 2006. We have lost the last two. Its time to get off that losing streak and get to 8 wins.

I'm in...

I think they have a party area outside the stadium for pre-game eats and drink.

And they show the noon games, so I think that I will be there prior to kick-off.

Not familiar with the stadium though so no plans etched in stone for that day.

Go Cowboys.....Go White Sox.....

Dave and Goat

Are either of you from PHX? I haven’t been to the new stadium, so I’m wondering what the best plan of action might be (or whether it might be a good idea to schedule it for Sat PM, so that people without tix can also meet up?).

Thoughts?

by rabblerousr on Nov 28, 2011 5:51 PM CST up reply actions

I'm from Chicago area...

So I have no idea about the stadium. Will be staying with a friend who lives pretty close though.
I’m open to anything. Flying out early Saturday…

Jenkins is practicing

Miles is not. But he is working on the side with the trainers which is a good thing. Probably be back next week against the gents.

I'd make sure Miles is healthy for the Gmen and not risk him against the Cards.

G-Men Bold Prediction

Giants 38

Big win for the G-men tonight…then they get chopped up by both Green Bay and Dallas…

John Kitna

Ridiculous.

Why isn’t Pat Devlin on this squad?

by Rome One on Nov 28, 2011 1:17 PM CST up reply actions

because he sucks

if he was any good someone would’ve claimed him off the PS

by somebodyquiet on Nov 28, 2011 2:17 PM CST up reply actions

I would also like to see Devlin on this squad

He looked good with limited play at PSU and then did well at Delaware.

Anyone know who will be starting at QB for the Cards? Is Kolb still hurt, not that he's been

playing well, just curious?

Have not seen who it's going to be yet...

More worried at this point about Peterson keeping them in the game with his returns.

Yep, our special teams better be able to stop him.

I just hope they dont kick it to the guy

As for the qb, I’m sure if it matters who starts at qb for them. We just got toasted by Matt Moore and Rex Grossman on back to back weeks. Thank god we are getting Jenkins back.

by TARHEEL PAUL on Nov 28, 2011 12:55 PM CST up reply actions

We should be worried

Peterson has returned a punt for TD in something like 4 straight games. Meanwhile, our special teams have been getting gashed. Sounds like the perfect storm. We can’t afford special teams breakdowns in this game—which basically doomed this team against the cards in 2008.

This will not be a gimme. I expect it to be as hard as the Dolphins and Redskins games.

He said that as a kid

He loved rooting for the OTHER team (as in the team playing the Cowboys) and he said it felt great beating a team he despised growing up. Punkass.
