    I wouldn't count on the T-Bears staying in Houston. They've been one of the worst drawing teams in the League and given the League's prediliction for moving teams around, we may see a Houston without the T-Bears.

    On the other hand, the AFL wants big markets these days, so they might try to stay in Houston as long as possible.

    Houston still has an Arena Football team? I think the Thunderbears are somewhere in the vicinity of the Houston Hotshots as far as pro sports teams go...From my understanding, the Thunderbears are the Grizzlies of the AFL...an expansion team that has never amounted to anything....Hey, maybe Kurt Warner will want to come back toe Arena League, and we might be able to sign him!!

    I remember that Clint Dolezel (that's not the right way to spell his last name, but it's the best I can do) used to play for the T-Bears. I only remember that, though, because he signed a contract to go to training camp with the Bears last year, and some were talking about him like he was the next Kurt Warner.
