I hate calling it a "must-win" so early on in the season, but after what Philly showed last week (although it was against the lowly Rams) and what the Giants have been able to do winning two straight weeks, we need this game to keep pace in the NFC East....especially since The 'Boys are headed to Green Bay next week to face the better off Brett Favre-less Packers.

I am good as long as Westbrook doesnt score 11 or more points.

It is a big game though it is still early. Not really sold on Philly or NY yet.

Whoever just sang the National Anthem should be banished from our country. Kat Deluna or something like that. She made a mockery of our anthem. Curse her.

I was standing and singing along (as I always do)... that was not the first National Anthem that my daughter should have listened to.

Not an Eagles fan by far but man the refs missed 2 outright facemask calls.

Nice job avoiding the sack by Romo , but a poor throw. Should have throw it away.

Guess the refs made up for the non facemask calls by the bogus interefrence call on Henry.

Hmm...want Cowboys to win, dont like Aggies, how do I cheer for Martellus Bennett??

The fumble in the EZ was just an ugly play.

Jesus, these teams have ZERO defense combined. Eagle WR had like 5 yards on the CBs.

This might be worse, it sure doesnt look like he got over the line and there was no one near him, at least Lett had it knocked away.

Gives Westbrook another opportunity to pad his stats and help my fantasy team.

My theory is that you can cheer for him this year, as he chose to abandon the aggies his senior year, therefore leaving them without his services this year against Baylor.

Thus far the Eagles have outplayed the Cowboys. Seems like this is usually the case in Texas Stadium.

You should consider posting the link to the chat room because for the life of me I dont see it which means others probably dont either.

I agree. All too often, the singers today use the song to try to exploit their perceived talent rather than sing the song as it was written.

Did they boo her? Sounded like booing, but could have been for the Eagles. Couldn't tell.

My daughter even said she couldn't believe she was singing like that.

Has anyone ever heard Craig Shoemaker?

Lovemaster sings the National Anthem (http://www.imeem.com/people/merUdS/music/GQvyi3oD/craig_shoemaker_hollywood_national_anthem/)

There has been some debate as to who the crowd was booing...her or the eagles. I hope that they were booing her. She needs to understand how she made a fool of herself and of our National Anthem.

Nein, I had that problem during the Baylor game saturday night, but when I used it last night in IE it worked fine for some reason. the only change on my PC between saturday and last night was a new virus definition for McAfee.

Just watched the video of her singing it on YouTube and she didn't sound too bad until she got to "the land of the freEeEeEeEeeeEeEEEEee" and then she basically sucked. I don't think all creative interpretations of the Star-Spangled Banner are a bad thing(see Marvin Gaye), but just completely oversinging and trying to add more drama to a song that is already plenty dramatic is kind of embarassing to watch.

My other issue, besides her "singing" was the type of attitude she portrayed while singing. I was not impressed by her facial expressions, body movement, and almost cocky attitude while performing.

Yeah, her movements were pretty hard to watch, though I'll give her the benefit of the doubt on that and just say that she's into it.

The song has words and it has music and it should be played and sung as such. Someone should tell our band director the same thing, then ending we have deciced to add on the national anthem sucks donkey ********s when done perfectly and we havent come close to perfection.

that ending to the national anthem has been played for a while now... at least 6 years to my knowlege. The arrangement was written by Baylor Alumni, Raymond Sanchez which I'm sure is a huge reason we play it.

The current director Colin McKenzie is only set to be here for one more year as he will be leaving to Michigan to finish he Phd, and as you all probably know Kraus has left to Belmont in Tennessee. The second director for Bugwb is a new guy from UCLA I believe, he may or may not take over BUGWB when McKenzie takes off for Michigan. Point is, BUGWB could be very different next year if an overall new guy comes in and tries to run the show his way.
