Which team do you consider the Card’s most hated rival?
For me it has long been the Cowpies. This goes back to being a St. Louis Cardinal fan and watching the Cowpies have their great seasons while the Cards struggled. There were a few good seasons in there (the Don Coryell years) and a victory or two (who can forget the Monday night beat down the Cards delivered that had Don Meredith crying in his beer—man, I’m old). Of course, the Cowpies have been blah for many years now and stand to have the worst D in football history this year. Still, that recent come-from-behind win vs. them in the national game was great. You would have thought it was a Cowpie home game with all the screen shots of Jerry in his box viewing the game (including his reaction when the Cards pulled out the win). The housekeeping staff are still scrubbing the stains in the carpet left behind by JJ.
Guess my reaction is changing. Right now, I’d say the Seahags since they are in our division and won the SB. Their Howdy Dowdy coach is a cheat who ruined a college program and walked away. Nothing against the Seahag players—just really dislike their head coach. That win in their home stadium last year with all that ‘12th man’ baloney was fantastic. The Cards D put the foot down on the Seahags even after Palmer threw more completions to the Seattle D than to our WRS. Let’s hope the Cards have more opportunity to break out the Skittles vs the Seahags.
So, which team makes the top of your list as our biggest rival - - - and the team you want to beat more than any other?
