    Astros

    I've never lived in Houston, so I shouldn't really care, but for some reason I would hate for the Astros or Rockets to leave Houston.

    Recently moved to Georgia, but if this question was for when I lived in Texas, I'd pick the Astros with out question.

    Love me some Rockets, but doesn't come close to the way I feel about the Astros....*sigh* unfortunately.

    Texans. NFL football is like pizza and sex. Even when it's bad, it's good.

    I absolutely have to have all 3 sports, it's a must in my life. If I had to choose one, I'd go with the team that has proven too us all they can win championships, Rockets.

    Totally the Rockets.

    Mostly because I give minimal ****s about the Texans and microscopic ****s about the Astros.

    Dam, I remember going to a few Terror/Thunderbear games. I used to work for the Rockets and got free Tix all the time, overall it was a nice game experience.

    Tried to go to Comets' games, during the championship years, but I just couldn't get into it. I know it is suppose to be basketball at its purest form but just couldn't feel any kind of bond toward the ladies.

    Of course the Rockets are going to win this one on CF.

    I picked the Astros. Because it's baseball.

    Was a tossup between Rockets and Texans, but have to go with the Rockets since they have been the longest team I've been rooting for, the players, and the winning history.

    If the Texans were wiped out, what would we be left to remember them by?

    I have more fun watching Andre Johnson catching game tying touchdowns than I do seeing Kyle hit a game tying bucket. Take in to account the great times I have tailgating at Texan home games it's sadly not even close. It might be different if the Rockets were title contenders and it was the playoffs. I loved watching our team take the lakers to a game 7.

    This. The Texans are Houston's NFL team, and that's the only reason I care even a little bit. They're terrible and they have done exactly zero to instill any excitement or loyalty in me. I'd rather watch the Dynamo. I'd rather have the Texans, but I'd rather watch the Dynamo. And I've watched exactly one Dynamo game and that was a few years ago, and that should tell you exactly how I feel about our pathetic NFL franchise.

    In fact, I am stupefied at football fan's ability to accept and put up with punishment. Then again, there are a lot of things I don't understand about football fans.

    If the Texans are ever any good, I'll watch. Until then, I just don't care.

    I'll take the only team I've ever rooted for who has won anything thank you very much.

    It may also have to do with the fact I was in the 14-16 range during the championships...maybe that somehow made the bond stronger? I don't know.
