Heard in the parking lot ...

It's no surprise that the Cowboys fans tailgating before today's game weren't exactly welcoming to those fans wearing Giants jerseys.

In fact, as a group of New York fans walked by, one car turned up their radio as Three Days Grace's "I Hate Everything About You" played.

"Go get 'em, girls!" fans yelled.

Another tailgater tried to get passing fans hyped up for the game, shouting "Get crazy! Get stupid! It's been nine years since we've had a home playoff game!"

Look, Jessica's here!

Img_0644 OK, not really. But keeping with the trend of wearing Jessica Simpson masks were Eric Olsen and Dan Teza. These Giants came all the way from New Jersey to support their team, and hopefully distract Tony Romo.

Their predictions? No shock, they both picked the Giants to win. Teza: 34-10, Olsen: 27-21.

To-ga! To-ga!

Meet Romo's Romans. "Here at the coliseum, to see Romo's finest hour," says Whit Sabin of Farmers Branch.

The plan to wear toga's to today's game was hatched less than 24 hours before the game. "We took a last-minute trip to Wal-Mart for the 200-count king-sized bed sheet, and the finest foliage we could find for under five dollars," Sabin explained.

How did he get his buddies to agree to wear the costumes? "It wasn't easy. It took a lot of alcohol," he said.

When asked for prediction, fellow Roman Phillip Allen handed me a slip of paper detailing his prediction. Long story short, Allen thinks the Cowboys will struggle in the first half but will score 28 unanswered points to beat the Giants 38-13. And his thoughts on the toga? "Whatever it takes to get us to play Green Bay next week," Allen said.

Greetings from ... Texas Stadium!

Img_0646 The gates here at Texas Stadium have just opened and fans are starting to filter in from the parking lot.

Speaking of parking lot, the tailgating was in full swing with many fans arriving as early as 8:30 this morning.

Don't forget to give us your prediction for today's game.
