Dark weekend

[SamFisher]

Texans come back yet lose a heart breaker.

No luck if you're a cowboys fan, they lose too.

Astros manage another stunning playoff loss with the chance to exorcise their demons

Texas longhorns frustrate their fans again vs. Oklahoma

Hell, even UH lost a tough one on thursday night.

I'm half expecting Yao and TMac to be -- oh never mind.

:(

It's tough being a Houston sports fan most of the time, but this is one of the worst weekends I remember in a while.

Cowboys lose? Fantastic.


About Yao, and Tmac, i've taken care of that.

[synergy]

at least minnesota covered the spread.. :(

This is a dark weekend for all of Texas sports. It's almost catastrophic. We may need to be declared a disaster area and get some emergency relief funds in here. :(

All of this is John Kerry's fault somehow.:mad:

John Kerry? I'm blaming this one on JESUS!

You do that. But John Kerry is friends with Jimmy Williams (both lived in Boston, MASS.) and we all know that the curse of Jimmy Williams is what cause the Astros to lose in this unbelievable manner. Jimmy Williams and John Kerry are laughing at the city of Houston now.

[El Toro]

Does this count as part of the dark weekend?

Chris Simms make his first start and goes down with a shoulder injury after an impressive 70 yd opening drive...

[Agent86]

I was bout to start the same thread]

Astros lose
Texans lose
cowboys lose
rockets who cares....

I think I got it. Maybe its the bandwagoner in me that wants to see the bandwagoner in someoneelse so I will feel better about my own bandwagoner notions that are festering in me. Bandwagoners are usually hypocrites and are quick to label another a bandwagoner, falsely, to make themselves feel better.

Sam is not the bandwagoner, I'm the bandwagoner!

[zoork34]

seriously, this is like the worst day of my year so far........the astros HAVE to win tomorrow; i have tickets for next saturdays NLCS game!!

that was the first thing that came to mind after the texans blew it following the stros blowing it following chris simms and roy williams getting injured (wouldn't you know it would happen on ou weekend). lets hope this part doesn't happen. hell, just bench 'em jvg, it's our only hope at this point.

[SamFisher]

This weekend is so dark, it deserves some ridiculous scandanavian black metal picks (thx hippieloser)

now that's dark!

[Texas Stoke]

But after the stros win tomorrow, it's gonna be a nice day for a white wedding.

Texas A&M won. A friend of mine has a younger brother playing for the Aggies and I had the uhh, privilege to watch the game on Pay per View with a bunch of Aggie fans yesterday after watching UT blow another RRSO.

Houston teams have an uncanny way of breaking their fans' hearts. They tease you with success only to drop you into despair. I can't believe I watched and or attended all those Oiler games; all that suffering, all that grief, for a few Love Ya Blue moments. It wasn't worth it. And if the Astros don't win tomorrow, they will break our hearts too. The Texans actually did better than I expected. And the once great UH athletic program can't climb out of the toliet. They may be uttlerly hopeless. Rice won; who cares. Even Lufkin is beating the crap out of all the Houston area H.S. teams they have played. I need something for depression.

[rockets-#1]

Least the Rockets won; I don't know what I would have done had all 3 of my teams lost in the same day.


Solid, I believe only the Astros set up their fans for heartbreak. They are a franchise with a history of choking. I don't like to say it, but they do. They should have swept the series against the Braves and at worst won in 4 but no, they gotta play tomorrow now.

[JPM0016]

Someone shoulda shot him while he was in Houston. The only link left from that Atlanta team that dominated 3 playoff series.

I'm pretty devastated right now. Emotionally drained.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel though. If the Astros win tomorrow, no one will even remember todays game. And the Texans will beat the Tennessee titty-boys next week. Think about how good it will feel to FINALLY stick it to Butthead Adams.

It's coming. Hang in there H-town.

[hoang17]

today was such a emotionally draining day. It felt like someone sutffed a million butterflies in my stomach turned me upside down and then ripped it open

actually to be more specific the time frame between 3-4 was probably the most gut-wrenching. That was when the texans were making their comeback as well as the astros coming down stretch AT THE SAME TIME!

hopefully (please) we win tomorrow so today can somewhat be forgotten. Come on Oswalt, we need you now more than ever to pitch like a cy-young 20 game winner.

[Saint Louis]

I think I will do myself a favor and just watch MNF tomorrow. I am sure it will be better for my state of mind throughout the evening.

The Astros won game three while I was out spending Saturday with my family, so maybe I should just go with the trend that works.

[wrath_of_khan]

This was one of the worst sports weekends for me that I can remember, too.

1. Texas/OU (I root for Texas even though I didn't go to school there -- lots of alums in my family)

2. Stros, of course.

But I've got a different one on the list from the rest of y'all: Cal/USC. Cal's my alma mater.

Just a heartbreaking loss at the Coliseum this weekend. Seventh ranked Cal had a chance to beat #1 USC and get in the driver's seat for a Pac-10 Championship, and maybe -- just maybe -- for running the table the rest of the way.

Cal dominated everywhere but the scoreboard:

- outgained USC 424 yards to 206
- held USC to 41 yards rushing (that's not a typo)
- gained 28 first downs to 12
- time of possession: Cal 37:11, USC 22:49
- Cal's QB tied and NCAA record with 23 straight pass completions

Despite all that Cal, was down 23-17 in the fourth quarter due to a botched snap on a punt, 2 fumbles, and a missed FG. Still, Cal got to first and goal from the 9 with just over a minute left needing a TD to win.

We came up short in four tries (and this offense was something like 21/23 scoring a TD in the red zone).

Just a heartbreaking loss. Thing about Cal is that we only get a chance like this once every 20 years or so. We're not like a Texas or Miami where we know we'll have a top 5 caliber team with another shot again next year. We may never have the talent to run the table and have the good fortune of having the #1 team on our schedule ever again.

Anyway, yesterday's Stros game and Saturday's Cal/USC game are all I've been able to think about today.

But hey -- at least the stros have a second chance tonight...

[Phillyrocket]

Just wondering if anyone else was watching both the Stros and Texans simultaneously? If so did you notice that at the exact moment Kent grounded into that game ending double play, Chester Pitts got called for an extremely questionable holding penalty that nullified a first down Dom Davis run? After that Carr was sacked, Texans punted and the Vikes scored. Game Over.

Ladies and Gentleman God is not a Houston sports fan.:(

What really bugs me about the Texans was this was there opportunity to be seen as a legit team and shake off that expansion label. They put together a comeback that if completed would have been all the talk off the NFL today. Instead all you hear is crap like "well the Texans played tough but still have a way to go.... blah blah"

Bullsh!t, this team is a couple of DD fumbles and a bogus OT holding penalty away from being 5-0. This team is capable of beating anyone as long as Capers and CO. realize going to DD 7 plays in a row isn't a good idea.

Aaahhh rant over go Astros!

[Surfguy]

I guess you add in the fact that Caminiti died Sunday and this weekend has truly earned a place in infamy.

I appreciate your remarks, but you were obviously not an Oilers' fan, only the Cubs fans have experienced more heartbreak. UH was close: the loss to NCS and Notre Dame.

[ima_drummer2k]

Well, the dark weekend is now a distant memory. I liked this weekend much better.

Astros tie the NLCS at 2 games apiece.
Texans beat Butthead Adams and the tittie-boys 20-10 in their own backyard.
Cowboys lose.
Aggies win.
Longhorns win.

And of course Sam Houston wins to move to 5-1 and #12 in the I-AA Poll. :D

GREAT WEEKEND
