The NFL's perenial last place team, the Cardinals are a team with a long history, and one that unfortunately includes mostly losing. Established in 1920 as the Chicago Cardinals, they always played second fiddle to the crosstown Bears in the league's early days. The Cardinals generally struggled in their early years, except for a surprising championship in 1925. The team won an NFL championship in 1947 against the Eagles for their only title. They lost the rematch in the 1948 title game, in a low scoring 7-0 matchup. In 1960, the team moved to St. Louis, which did little to change their fortunes. The team had its best years in franchise history in the mid-70s with Jim Hart under center, achieving 3 straight playoff berths from 1974-76. The team also had a playoff berth in the strike shortened 1982 season. However, with the team still a poor franchise and, with St. Louis refusing to pay for a new stadium, the team moved to Phoenix for the 1988 season, first calling themselves the Phoenix Cardinals, then switching to the name Arizona Cardinals in 1994. The team failed to post a .500 season from 1985-97, but finally broke through with a playoff berth in 1998, their most recent postseason apperance. That year, the team went 9-7 and pulled off a 1st round upset of the Cowboys. Since then, the team has returned to its losing ways. However, they are currently building a good offense and their might be hope on the horizon for this team.
"The Arizona Cardinals have pulled up a gigantic playoff upset! In their first postseason apperance in 16 years, the defeat Dallas and are moving on to the next round."

In regards to friendship, the cardinal rule is never dating your friend's ex-boyfriend. When a close friend and their hunny break up, being a friend means you dont try to date, mack, get with, or hook up with the ex. Breaking this rule defiles friendship and ruins bonds and all friendly love with the rule breaker in the circle of friends.
After Max broke up with Sid, Alexis, a 'friend' of Sid, broke the cardinal rule and started dating Max less than a week after the break up. Sid and Alexis' friendship was ruined and Sid soon learned that no one gave two squirts of piss about her emotions, regardless or what was said.

The A.OK bar for underage drinkers to consume massive amounts of alcohol free shots and 1 dollar beers. More then 70 percent use 50 dollars florida ID's or Georgetown I.Ds to get into the recently renovated bar. (of course we are 21 this is america) They key location in D.C in walking distance of CUA Campus (of course driving if possible) for the definition of blackout nights, to play flip cup around the booths, and meeting a new person every 10 minutes but forgetting there names 5 minutes after. The key location to bring back a drunk mistake.
Whoever said the weekends are meant for partying were wrong. The bar named after the Catholic University Mascot is only packed school-nights, Most commonly Mondays and Thursdays are the biggest party nights. Students often dress up more for the bar then they do for classes and are so Hangover the next friday are usually to burnt for classes and to be able to plan a good Friday weekend night.
Good luck making a night without at least one beer getting partially spilt on you.
All catholic students drink five times more before getting into the bar and having to pay a 5 dollar cover-charge after waiting on a five minute wait with students who are often as drunk outside as they are inside.
