Rodgers led GB on another long drive, and it is now 27-24 Dallas with 5:15 left 3rd qtr. This has turned into a great game, and the people missing it have a right to be pissed. At the NFL, not their cable company.

Cowboys are driving now. 1st and goal at the 5 last minute of 3rd qtr.

WTF??? Owens had a pass in his arms in the end zone, but it popped out and was intercepted. Pack starts at 20 and Rodgers hits a pass to the 35 with 13:30 left in the game.

Cowboys have it back and are driving again. A pass interference penalty has put them at the 5.

TD pass from Romo to Crayton and it's 34-24 Dallas with 7:51 left.

Pack kicks 52 yard FG. 34-27 Dallas with about 5 minutes left.

I guess this is one way to get on the rankings after missing the last 5 years....

Gotta love the long ones! Yippee

Cowboys make 25 yard FG and lead 37-27 with 1:03 left. That should do it.

52 yards - too bad we didn't get to see it.

And it's over. Cowboys win 37-27. Good night, everyone.

Game 1 of default picks is a winner! I should have been doing this more often.

Yes there is. Rutgers is playing Louisville.

And handling them easily, breaking Louisville's string of consecutive winning seasons and bowl appearances. Fans have been hollering for Steve Kragthorpe's scalp for weeks, and this will only make matters worse. Coach K has said that part of the reason for Louisville's failure (after starting the season ranked #6 in the nation) is due to "off-field" problems, which he was unwilling to discuss until the season was over. It's over now, and it will be interesting to see what he has to say.

Umm, Ear, Louisville won the game: 41-38.

Louisville still has a string of non-losing seasons, as they stand 6-6. If they go to a bowl, and win, then they still will have a winning season.

The Cardinals did win, but it took a last-play-of-the-game field goal to do it, and it still breaks the string of winning seasons (a "non-losing" season is a different thing). They will not go to a bowl - all of the Big East tie-ins have been taken, and there are a lot of teams with 7-4 or 7-5 records out there that will get consideration before Louisville will.

If winning the game didn't give them a winning season, then wouldn't it be the last game they lost that broke their string?

Hmmmm...I suppose that might be technically true, but that's not how it's been reported in the local media. And there is still the astronomically remote chance that they will get to a bowl game and win, so it's not a certainty yet that they will finish with a non-winning record. But no one believes they will go to a bowl.
