Bud Adams stole my Oilers and left Houston like a thief in the night. The only thing Bob McNair did right was restore football in Houston. Even through all the **** that this team goes through and puts us through, I'm sticking with them.
My new favorite team, is anyone who is currently playing the Texans. I hope they lose every game until Cal is gone. This team doesn't deserve any devotion or fan loyalty. But deep down inside, my irrational self will still be wanting the Texans to win. Area pride over owner ineptitude.
Because I get Texans gear from my wife and kids every Father’s Day, birthday and Christmas for the past 8 years. My wardrobe never pivots away from battle red, deep steel blue and liberty white.
Let's get one thing straight, as much as that whole episode sucked, it was not expedient. That was a long, long messy breakup with a lot of acrimony. Hell the team was here for almost two whole years with publicly announced plans to leave.
Last couple years I have not watched but a handful of games as the whole franchise stinks (except the players putting their bodies on the line). Probably won't watch either until they get their ish straight. I won't actively root for a non-Houston team but the days of supporting them are over.
Real talk. That first game was the pinnacle of the organization. Sampras v agassi and then d carr ....that was a great sports day and to think how it fell off 2021 ... Damn
Because I was born within an arbitrary city border...and it has made me be a die-hard of all Houston sports teams my whole life, even though I’ve moved away the last couple years
Because I like to see how day drunk I can get on Sunday afternoons while being jealous of other fanbases that have real organizations.
Because they're Houston's team. But the last couple years that hasn't been enough. I keep telling myself I'll support the Saints. But I keep popping in here to check what's happening with this dumpster fire. I love H-town. I wish the nfl team merited support. The last few years, I've found myself hoping the Texans win, but actually watching everyone else's games. Because I like watching well-played football, and we haven't seen that on 610 in a long fricken time. Caserio's moves of late have piqued my interest. But... meh.
I am here, completely. I grew up an Oilers fan, moved away from town, still loving and dying with the 'Stros and the Rox, but I never fell in love with the Texans until reading these awesome BBS threads.
Some guys pay hookers to stomp on their testicles, some guys are Texans fans. Masochism comes in many forms.
I'm French (sorry for the mistakes guys), but I lived four years in Houston when I was a kid and I've followed and supported all Houston sports teams since then. I'm really passionate about sports, even made it my job. But the number of Texans games I watch decreases every year, I don't stay up anymore if the game is at night, as I often do for the Rockets (getting hard this year too hahaha But there are still things to get excited about at least). The Texans situation keeps getting worse, somehow this franchise keeps finding a way to surprise me in a bad way, and the hard part is that I don't see it getting better in the near future (although, like every year, imma get tricked into being intrigued by our new players). But my attachment to the city and its teams is just too strong in the end. I'll always root for the team, don't really care about others, can't help it. Keep the faith would say Jack I guess... Man, can't wait for the good times. All the banter on this forum also really helps getting through this shitstorm haha so keep it up guys, love yall
