    Populous is the major name in sports stadium building so I would expect they'd win the bidding

    I would do this in a heartbeat.

    Then add a vet IOl and another WR in FA. Draft the best TE you can find in the 2nd and lets roll.

    I'm looking at a vet FA and a young guy to be added to the IOL and a TE that can block.

    One bad throw ruined the season.

    Stroud completes the lolipop throw and this season would look much different.

    Not 1 dollar of tax dollars.
    Let the McNair's pay for it.

    The HCHSA does not use sales or property tax dollars, never has. You should know this by now.

    No money should come from anywhere but the McNair's pockets.

    Hotel/Rental car tax.

    Yes, I too would love to live in this ideal fantasy land, but that that genie went out the bottle a long, long time ago, and it ain't going back.

    Of course I would be okay with the team moving if it came to this.

    To'To is rangy enough to get to outside runners that most LB wouldn't get close to. I would think that leads to more "missed" tackles, but that's just my genius theory going off the eye test.

    A dime going to renovate the stadium without ownership paying for the renovation.

    The Rodeo can pitch in if they want to partner with the McNair's.

    Not a dime

    You are apparently a very silly person.

    Happy New Year!

    Not really.

    Unless you think that beating Detroit would have given the entire team confidence, that one win is meaningless. We'd be 10-6 instead of 9-7, big whoop. Still 4th seed. The only way the season would be different is if we took that to somehow handle or biz against Tennessee, but even then we'd be at 11-5 and still out of the top 2 slots. Do you see us beating the Ravens or the Chiefs in an alternate world where CJ completes that pass? If not, then we'd still be where we are now. That's why it's no use getting frustrated. People forget Faibairn missed an easy FG to tie the Titans game. Maybe we would have won if he didn't blow it, but us winning that game wouldn't have made a difference either.

    Point is, one bad throw or one bad FG miss didn't ruin the season. It was the fact that we literally never improved our offense. From week 1 to now, we never got into a groove where we felt competent offensively. That is what ruined the season.

    I believe in confidence and beating at that time arguably the best team in the NFL would've sent the team off on a run. Instead that loss sent them on a slide to mediocrity.
