    I'm finally going to watch Hard Knocks! Only watched the scenes from the last one with Watt and the Texans vs Atlanta?.

    Personally, I'm really intrigued to see how B'OB is when dealing with the team. He goes out of his way to give the media so little during press conferences and the like. I want to see what his demeanor is when he's not thinking about the cameras (which hopefully happens for the majority of this show instead of him trying to change how he does things so HBO doesn't get what they want).

    Kind of wished they had done it once with Kubiac
    So I could compare and contrast

    OB is going to have these guys on lock down. All interview answers are going to be about helping the team win.

    I can't wait to see just how badly Bill O'Brien hides his disdain for being on the show. This is exciting!

    THIS!
    That's exactly how I felt and I thought McNair and BoB would oppose this(but turns out even if they opposed it, they had none of the 3 qualifiers one could use to oppose being on the show).

    I'd rather watch the Redskins or the Browns or even the Bills on the show and just leave our Texans off it and let them go about their business w/o any Hard Knocks cameras or national publicity.

    It is what it is I guess. I've watched every season of Hard Knocks and I'll still watch, just wish they chose another team to be on it instead of the Texans.

    Awesome stuff, I always watch Hard Knocks even if it's lame so to have my team on there is awesome.

    I don't care about distractions or anything of the sort, plenty of teams have been on there and have been fine during the season. I think the Jets even made the AFC title game the year they were on.

    Or ask one of your friends who subscribes to HBO for his password and use that to watch HBO Go, which is how 95% of people watch HBO.

    She said she would "subscribe to cable if this happens." :eek:

    And where do you get this percentage from? :confused: Sounds unrealistic.

    Had to resurrect this thread because our home team made the playoffs while also being on Hard Knocks.
    They're winning. They're in the playoffs. :eek:

    I think I'll go watch it now.

    Add the Texans to the NO CURSE list: http://grantland.com/features/the-q...ing-camp-microscope-offseason-stories-matter/

    Maybe the Texans should volunteer to be on Hard Knocks every year.
