You must be a youngun.
I was a witness to the Cowboys/Vikings "Hail Mary" playoff game.
The Cowboys had more than Mary on their side for that call.
Wish I'd thrown the whiskey bottle.
As a Dallas fan, I thought the call in the Viking’s playoff game was great! I am also an NC State fan and had the pleasure of watching Russell Wilson for three years as the starting QB of the Wolfpack. He actually graduated in May 2010, but played that fall while he took graduate courses. He will throw some interceptions, but he will also make some unbelievable plays. No matter how you view that last call, he gave his team a chance to win in what appeared to be very difficult circumstances. He left NCSU in 2011 to pursue a baseball career with the Rockies. He was actually drafted by the Orioles out of high school but decided to accept the scholarship offer from NCSU to obtain a college degree. He spent his last year of college eligibility at the University of Wisconsin where he led the team to the 2011 Big Ten championship and a Rose Bowl victory. Last week’s victory over the Cowboys (who played really terribly) showed what Russell is capable of doing when he is “on”. I just wish that Dallas had had the good sense to draft him! But then, speaking of Dallas management and good sense in the same sentence is a contradiction in terms. :)
“The Cowboys had more than Mary on their side for that call.”
The pass interference on the final play last night was far more obvious, and the Drew Pearson no-call was in an era when they let a lot more go. (Not that I’ve forgiven yet.)
