    for the most part!!! but seriously some texans love is much appreciated and we need to get clutch more into the football side of the house as well. there is no reason there should not be more posts on texans going on it should be just like the rockets so.....

    We need to get to work!!!

    8-8 unless Slaton becomes a young Ricky Williams or Ahman Green returns to his 1,000 yard days.

    I think we will surprise the league this season....as long as we are HEALTHY with a lot of this pointed at our offense (AJ, Schaub, Green).

    With the pass rush a concern, I'm hoping they were just holding back during the preseason and erupt next Sunday. Hopefully we find some help from the waiver wire (DB or DL).

    Green knows that his days in Houston are pretty much done unless he proves he can still hang with the freshmen RBs. He looked pretty impressive at the beginning of last season and he knows he has to redeem himself especially with Slaton & Taylor rising fast.

    With AJ being the beast on offense, I think that the X-factors will be the contribution from Duane Brown's blind-side protection and David Anderson's clutch play.

    Here's to hoping Jacoby Jones getting his MoJo back and becoming a solid contributor on special teams.

    I am just not that geared up for football this year. I want the NBA to start right now.

    Going out on a limb and saying 10-6. Might we catch a sniff of the playoffs?

    I have to be honest..... you scouted the kid from Jr. High, through a intense 4, yes 4 years in a public high school system, and then on into college. I do recall back in 1995 after the Rockets repeated, you saying, "Yep, that Slaton kid will one day be the starting running back for a hungry young semi-expansion team." Me, Kubiak, Gibbs, and Shanahan salute you, Mr. Slanton was my idea guy. Remember to drink responsibly.

    Geez, I guess any ol' plaza draft drinker gets membership status these days. Back when I was young, we rode a mule ten miles in the snow to become a member.

    The best part of the sports year is about to begin. After a couple of months of boring baseball (YAWN!), the NFL and college football kickoff, followed by the NBA two months later. For me, that means 5 days/week following the NBA, Saturdays for college football and Sundays for the NFL.

    Look at it this way, Rockets training camp starts in about 4 weeks. That isn't so far off.

    Don't forget about college basketball! Starting from the college bball conference tournaments to March Madness, while NBA teams make a run for the playoffs is by far my favorite time of the year.

    Once the Texans reach playoff status and the Longhorns get back to being BCS worthy (perhaps this year, but a tough schedule, just like the Texans), winter will become much more important to me.
