Well, I finally saw the Cards , live, in person, for the first time in about 20 years. My observations and questions follow;

1. The Cards beat the worst team in football. But they won. A loss would have been disheartening.

2. The stadium, formerly known as Joe Robbie but is now named after a bankrupt wannabe sports apparrel manufacturer, was half empty.

3. The midfield fight prior to the game was so laughable....... that everyone present just .......... laughed. It was definitely a sissy fight.

4. Dennis Green must hate everyone on the sidelines. What's with his 20 yard line opposite end of the field coaching position? Does he always do that?

5. That game was so boring. Like watching paint dry, until the Dolphin meltdown. The Cardinals just killed another coach. Dave Wannstedt will never talk his way out of this one.

6. The red on red unis are weird looking. I missed the traditional red and white .

7. The weather was fantastic.

8. It may be another 20 years before I see them , in person again. Whoops, I'll be in anursing home by then.

9. It was fun. Glad I went.

It doesn't seem like any team in Miami,pro or college, can win these days. :D

It was just right there,i had to take it. But,really, with as bad as Ohio State is this year,i shouldn't be saying anything.The only good thing about either team is their return guys in Hester and Ginn jr.

Glad to hear you went to the game


It looked weird on TV all the orange empty seats.

supposedly the paid attendance was 72,612

I wonder what the gate was. When most teams crap the bed, fans don't show up.

Yeah. At first I thought "Wow, everyone's wearing orange today." :stupid: Then I realized that they were empty seats. I said to my sister "Look at how empty that stadium is. What a disgrace!" and laughed. She just looked at me like, "Um, how does SDS usually look?" Oh well, it was nice to laugh at another team for once.

There was something like 12,000 remaining tickets as of this past Thursday. I believe CBS bit the bullet and purchased the tickets so they could lift the local blackout and televise the game. I was at the game as well and there could not have been more than 40,000 fans in attendance.

BTW McCown is bad and did anyone else wonder why the Cards didn't attempt a field goal near the end of the first half instead of punting. I believe the Cards had the ball at the Dolphin 33 which would have been a 50 yarder. Rackers definitely has the leg for it.

Wally, I'm glad you got to see the Cardinals but I'm sorry the game was so awful. (Except the end!) I guess you might have to make a trip to the desert when the fins come here? :wave:

I was at the Cardinals Miami game and saw no less then 60-70 Cardinal fans. Of course, ten of them were us and 30 were Q's family.

Not counting Q's family I saw more Cardinals fans at this game then any previous away game I have been to.

I saw more Cardinals fans at this game than any other road game I've been to. It was really cool to see. I saw way more than 8

Fiasco, it was great to run into a ASFN "celebrity". I'd never met anyone from the board before. You're truly a diehard fan and it was great to chat with you. Maybe I will make it out to Phoenix for the Rams game or to Hotshots in Fenton one of these days and party with you and your clan...maybe Elvis will even show up!

There were about 12 Az fans in section 414. One was right behind me wearing a #22 cowboy jersey, but he was routing for us he also said he went to ASU.
