Cardinals in Chicago - Joe Ziemba Interview (Part 2) Tweet

This is the 2nd part of the Joe Ziemba interview covering the time when there were Cardinals in Chicago. If you have not listened to the 1st part of the Joe Ziemba interview covering the Chicago Cardinals' early history, I recommend you go back here. If you've already listened to that episode, then let's proceed with the 2nd part, covering the time period of World War II and beyond.

Here you can find the dedicated Joe Ziemba page.

Joe describes the history of the Academy football program from the humble beginnings in 1893 through its final season as Morgan Park Military academy in 1958. He had an inside track on the information game because his dad was the head coach in the...
