    Anyone else as pumped as me about this Saturday's game? I listened to what was broadcast on the radio of the Dolphin scrimmage, but it was difficult to follow and the broadcasters weren't staying with the action all that well. Besides, I want to be able to see with my own eyes how explosive Peek is off the line, how lost Dunta appears to be...and just whether or not Hollings might develop into a RB that will either help us or give us good trade bait.

    I'm also gonna watch Wand very closely...especially in pass situations. I don't worry about his run blocking as much as I do his pass protection. Dominick is pretty good at finding the holes...but on pass plays that's Carr's blind side, so the potential for disaster if Wand screws up is much greater.

    One nice thing about this being the 3rd year instead of the 1st or even 2nd is that we have some decent depth at some positions this season, so even in preseason during later quarters you won't be watching practice squad scrubs who have no chance at making the team. There will be some good battles for positions.

    Will be watching it from Dallas. Hopefully we can avenge from last year's preseason loss.

    The cowgirls can beat us any preseason game, all I want is the Texans win the ones that count.

    always like to beat the cowboys....but it's preseason...it's meaningless.

    19-10 is all that matters.

    I bet the game is on ABC 13. But what time is kickoff?

    Only the first half exihibition games is worth watching anyway. My interest is in Andre and Dominick's developement no more

    I think it starts at 7 pm.(central)

    Not sure if I'll be able to watch this game, but I'm pretty stoked about it as well. With a lot of new players in Dallas as well as several younger guys giving the vets competition, I wish I could watch it. I would watch the 1st couple of plays and see how Vinny, Eddie, and Keyshawn on the offense play as well as see if Larry Allen is back. On D, I'd like to see how Marcellus Wiley and Greg Ellis work together as well as see how Pete Hunter is taking to possibly starting alongside Newman. Then after all the starters leave, I'd focus on the younger guys like Henson, Julius Jones, Reshard Lee (a favorite of mine), Al Johnson, Bradie James, Kenyon Coleman, and probably Antonio Bryant if they leave him in there to prove himself. I heard he is starting to look a little more like when he was a rookie as opposed to the Bryant who dropped easy passes last year.

    Guess I'll have to see what goes on in here, although I feel as though someone may try to trick me:

    ClutchFans Member: "Vinny Interceptaverde just got picked off by Dunta Robinson who returned it for a TD."

    Me: "But ESPN says that it is halftime right now."

    ClutchFans Member: "They're wrong...oh, and your return man just fumbled the ball like an idiot and we just scored another TD. Texans: 89 Cowgirls:-3. "

    Me: "How is that possible?"

    ClutchFans Member: "Hey, do you want play-by-play or not?"

    ClutchFans Member #2: "Is Yao in?"

    Hmm...I guess I could handle that. :)

    Oh yeah, that's was pretty cool. I remember when there would be a person who would come on and ask why we were talking about the Cowboys and when did the Rockets game start. Those were the days...

    I'll probably do that again this year, unless I forget. I haven't been in there in a long time. I'll probably start going back in during th Cowboys and Rockets games. Hope nobody took my name or I'll have to change to RC_ColaandWater, or something like that.

    Cowboy fan here.

    Im looking forward to all the things you listed RC Cola, especially Brady James. I have no credentials to say this, but I forsee great things for him this year (or atleast surprising skill)

    Im willing to join the chats this year when I am not up at Sansone's watching the game (which will mean I will be at home maybe twice the whole season). I havent missed a cowboy game in about 6 years (I went to the directTV booth at the State fair of texas to watch the game while I was there last year) so you guys always have an up-to-date Cowboys fan to talk to.
