    Started in 1987. The National Academy in Dallas is also called the Dallas Texans. Just found out because my nephew's Cleveland U-14 club just played them in Indianapolis, yesterday.

    Was this ever mentioned during the naming of the Texans. The Texans' Wikipedia mentions nothing about the two SC's in Houston and Dallas; although they mention the Dallas Texans/KC Texans defunct AFL teams.

    The Texans have played in Klein since 1984. I tried out for the original incarnation as a U10 before we moved to The Woodlands. It's been a state and national powerhouse for 30 years. I believe there is a branch in Toronto, too.

    It's weird their site says 1987. I was definitely 1984. We moved in 1985 and I had already tried out.

    Are there any posts in this guy's history where he doesn't come off like a complete dick?

    Good thing they didn't start the team in 1836.

    And to answer your other question: you read all his posts?

    Nope...that's why I was asking. Curious if anyone else knew if this was a new phenomenon or if he's always been this way.
