Who would ever believe that Sunday's Superbowl festivities would actually involve our own team?? Year after year it has been a tradition to watch the Superbowl. Not because I love football so much, but it is such a comfortable tradition that is exclusive to the good old USA. The commercials were always my thing. I didn't really have a team to cheer for because the teams that go to the Superbowl are always those really good teams. Not ours.
As a season ticket holders to the Arizona Cardinals I was able to watch my fair share of live games this year. Being the daughter to the Cardinals' biggest fan, I was able to watch my fair share of live games when they were HORRIBLE. My dad got tickets right when Arizona got the Cardinals. 
The poor team played in the ASU Sun Devil Stadium. No one knew why we would bother going to the games. Even my daughter is a fan. She took in her first game when she was just a month old. Here she is at her 2nd game.

Here she is at her 2nd game. This year when we were getting close to playoff time I asked Mr. Cookie if we had a chance at going to the Superbowl. I mean, if we made it to the playoffs, why not? He, along with others, shook their heads quickly saying something along the lines of...hmmm...what was it now...oh yeah, I think it was, "No f**king way!" AND I said..."I have a good feeling, they are going to the Superbowl. I can FEEL it."
Back off of my woman's intuition, slightly sprinkled with the new and improved intuition, mother's intuition.
This town is so excited. I was at the grocery store earlier and an announcement came on talking about how the butcher just put all this meat on major special. He ended his announcement with, "Let's Go Cardinals!" and after that from all over the store I hear people just shouting out, "Let's Do IT!", "Come On Cardinals!", "WooHooo!". I love it. As I walked out I bumped into the one guy in Arizona wearing full on Steelers gear. Jackass.
This team will not let themselves get to the Superbowl and lose. Just like they weren't going to get themselves within 1 game of going and not go.
SUPER CARDS!
