Are you a Cardinal fan in Texas

[Jetstream Green]

Just can't help asking this, I see so many as myself from Texas who are Cardinal fans. If your a Cardinal fan from Texas, say yes on this roll call. Maybe we could all meet up for a game later in the year at a sports bar? That would freak the hell out of Cowboy fan...

 

[oaken1]

so...ya got one of those shaped like a boot?? In Baton Rouge myself...

 

[BleedRed]

Yes.

 

[Camshaft]

I live in Austin TX. Been a Card fan since 1960.

 

[Wildfire]

I live in Flower Mound, TX. Been a fan ince the early 60's. I know of a couple of more Cardinal fans here in the DFW area.

Marble Falls, Texas myself. Ole Duckjake is in Cedar Park.

Freaking out cowgirl fans would be a blast.

Quick story from Marble Fall last weekend, my wife and some friends of ours were at a piano bar when a greasy guy wearing a Dez Bryant jersey came in with his crew. Of course it took him all of about 30 seconds to become obnoxious. The piano dude finally asked him to "Go find some balls to clean." I pointed out to my friends that the loud mouth was indicative of 90% of all cowgirl fans I came across while living in AZ; and that was part of the reason for my disdain of the Cowboys.

I know TheCardsFan is from Texas and once met him in San Antonio. Really, could you imagine the shock if we all meet in the middle of the state for one game at a sports bar in Austin. About twenty Cardinals fans or more coming into a Cowboy place wearing our Cardinal jerseys and we are all Texans. That is a memory I would cherish for a lifetime.

 

[SweetD]

I am out in Plano all the time. I would be willing to join you as well if I am out there during the game!

Good luck, guys.

TX is a huge state. I know Austin to SA is about 60-90 mins, Austin to Dallas is about 180, Austin to Houston is 3 hours. El Paso to Austin is well just forget it.

Do you guys have an airport with private jets to meet up?

 

[shoe]

I'm in The Woodlands. North of Houston.

 

[Jetstream Green]

This is what strikes me as strange, there are really a lot of Cardinal fans in Texas. Cool to see some names from across the state I did not see before

 

[Austin Zonie]

In Austin, TX.

 

[Buckybird]

I've lived in Dallas my whole life & been a Big Red fan for 40yrs, since I was 7.

 

[Butch Leigh]

Old cards fan

Fan for 40 years, not last year couldnt watch a team that had no quarterback.First games I remember Charlie Johnson was the Quarterback,7 and 0 and the Damned Cowboys came to town and hurt his knee and 0 and 7 followed.Everyone in Alton grew up hating the boys!

I live in Austin TX. Been a Card fan since 1960.

On the access road of the Interstate between Austin & San Antonio (@ New Braunfelds), there used to be a rundown Texaco station. If you walked past the Pennzoil cans thru the back door, there was a big ol' shed; behind which was a smoke-shed where they BBQ'd outrageous brisket. They served it on paper plates along with white bread & butter and a bottle of Pearl Beer.

Anyone know if the place is still there?

That El Paso to Austin drive is the worst drive I have ever made. I drove from Phoenix to Austin this summer. In very approximate terms, it took me about three hours to get out of Arizona, another three hours to get through New Mexico, and probably another 11 hours to go from the ugliest city I have ever driven through, El Paso, to Austin. I did this in a moving truck, so I wasn't driving very fast, but that drive is so long and so ugly that I will hopefully never have to do it again. In fact, I may rather want to watch the Cowboys win in a Cowboys bar than make it ever again... well, it's close.

Just moved to Austin.

Love me some Austin.

I have done the drive a couple times, once in a moving truck when I was on my way back to AZ from PA and decided to visit some people in TX along the way. I managed to make it from Round Rock, TX to Casa Grande in one day. I was hallucinating from about the AZ border in though.

My parents live down near San Antonio now and my mom worked in Victoria the last couple years, probably need to get her a Kolb jersey. She is a fan, my dad is only a casual sports fan though.

Made that drive a couple of times, moved from Scottsdale to Marble Falls (outside Austin) a couple years ago. Drove all night in a moving truck, brutal journey.

I've made the drive from phoenix to dallas several times. nothing but cowboys fans along the route. hell i never saw cardinals fans in arizona until I went to a game.

joking, but seriously before the cardinals started winning I rarely saw people wearing cards gear, even in phoenix!

If you go to a smaller texas city..that's where you are going to freak people out and piss them off. In some of those small towns the people take it very seriously. the larger texas cities are booming(some of the only ones in the nation thriving in the economy). people are from all over like phoenix. so there are a lot of mixtures of fans. I actually think SA (per capita) is more pro-cowboys than dallas is? there seems like more people there sporting the cowboys gear when I go there.

DFW is definitely a cowboys town, but over the last 10 years or so the population has really boomed(with non natives) even more than it already was.

 

[Lorenzo]

eventhough dallas has a lot of fans, they will never have the hometown advantage that other cities do like pittsburgh/GB etc. People in those communities are as close to 100% natives as it gets. Even here in the cincinnati area. Everyone is from here and everyone is a bengals fan.

Lomax getting hurt and playing in the NFC East just killed the Cardinals in Phoenix. Going 5-11,5-11,4-12,4-12 and getting outscored by 120 points a year in the four years after the inaugural season isn't how you build excitement about your football team. Add in the TV blackouts and that half or more of their televised away games were over before most people got home from Church and you have a recipe for disaster.

I probably saw more Cards games on TV than people living in Phoenix did.

Surprised at how many Cardinals fans live in the Austin area. Maybe we should get together and take over a Sports Bar on Sundays like the transplants do in Cave Creek.

I think it'd be great for a group of us to get together at a bar in Austin. Something Central may be the easiest for everyone. 3rd Base isn't that big, but they usually accommodate non-Cowboy fans pretty easily.

 

[HookemCards]

Checking in from the Belton/Temple area. I'd be up for it if it was in Austin. You talking about the game against Dallas in December, cause I'm going to try my damndest to make it to that game.
