NYG over 'Boys 21-17
Giants stop Romo and TO and advance to the NFC title game and leave Dallas still searching for first playoff win since 1996. Another efficient and mistake free game from Eli and a surprisingly fantastic patchwork defense were barely enough to pull out the win. The sweetest win for Giant fans in roughly 7 years. No love lost in this one, emotions were high before, during and after...(poor Terrell -- popcorn stale buddy?)
Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Packers at Lambeau will start at 6:30.

Huskies play well again, cannot pull out win (again)
The pessimist is getting annoyed by the team folding in the last few minutes of winnable games repeatedly. The optimist sees the Huskies about to take a turn and go on a big run. We shall see on Thursday as the try to bounce back at the XL Center against Providence. Saturday's game was the best performance the Huskies have had in nearly two years and there are worse things than having the 7th best team in the country need some shaky officiating and their last possession to beat you.
We'll see where they go from here but the team needs to stop throwing away chances to reestablish themselves back in the national spotlight. A mini home stand this week with the Friars and Marquette is very important. Calhoun will reportedly return to the bench
Courant Georgetown recap
Damn Hibbert hitting his 2nd career 3 ever. Huskies played 'em tough though..I'm going to my first game thursday and hoping they can play the entire game.
