BATON ROUGE — So, the Arizona Cardinals did it. Kurt Warner did it. Wow, one more time.

Arizona 32, Philadelphia 25. The Cardinals are headed to their first Super Bowl. It will be Warner’s third, and this victory in the NFC Championship Game strengthened the argument for clearing out a place for him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

What an interesting career path for this quarterback. You know about his days of playing arena football. You know he played in St. Louis for a Rams franchise that previously played in Los Angeles. You know he plays now for a Cardinals franchise that previously played in St. Louis.

Did you know his first start at quarterback for Northern Iowa came at McNeese in 1993?

that's a weak article IMO.. there's no explanation of how he did in the game or any numbers on that season/his career etc. It doesn't even say what year he was

If I recall, his stay at UNI was rather unremarkable. Sure we made the playoffs and won the Gateway, but that is nothing new. xlolx

It's not about stats,e writter was just remembering back to how his career started.

But, McNeese picked Warner off a couple of times and sacked him several more.

Another interesting tidbit. I believe Tony Romo's final collegiate game was a lost to UNI! What a shame.

Warner was the Gateway Conference Offensive Player of the Year, led the conference in total offense and passing efficiency, passed for more than 300 yards four times, and was Gateway Player of the Week twice that year.

I wouldn't call that "unremarkable", even if UNI football has grown somewhat accustomed to such accolades.

No, the last game of his junior year was a 49-43 loss to UNI in the second round of the 2001 playoffs.

His final collegiate game was a 48-9 loss to Western Illinois in the first round of the 2002 playoffs.
