From Central Illinois: God Bless ASFN and God Bless the Big Red!!

[Lomax to Green 84]

What a magical ride its been! Here in cold, snow packed central Illinois there have been Cardinal fan sightings all over the place. I went to our local Hy-Vee yesterday and proudly wore my Cardinal red and I had a number of thumbs up from old St. Louis Cardinal football fans who have decided to come along for the ride. At my son's basketball game I overheard a number of folks talking up the Big Red, saying that they have always kept a watchful eye on the Cards since their move to Arizona, and they were really happy for folks they knew who still held the Big Red close to their hearts even 21 years after they left St. Louis. Local sports radio shows have been flooded with closet Cardinal fans who after years of hibernation have come out and proudly declared their love for the Cardinals.

Thank you ASFN for allowing folks like me to stay connected to this "addiction" known as Chicago/St. Louis/Phoenix/Arizona Cardinal football. I wish with all my heart that I could be there today, but I will gladly settle for 3 hours in front of my television.

Cards 34 Eagles 19

Holian, I was born and raised in Illinois and am a diehard Cards fan. Their are still a lot of Cardinal fans in the midwest. I hated to see them move, but I got over it. Now lets go Arizona Cardinals, you are right what a ride so far.

James will have a big game to go along with all our other weapons. How do you stop Kurt, Fitz, Boldin, James and add in Breaston. Too many weapons to stop everyone. And I think you're about right on the score. My pick was 34-20 Cards. Got the Tivo set to record history in the making. And I don't think the Eagles are who everyone (except us) thinks they are......
