Its hard though in the NFL, just because you play each other once every 4 years. http://houstonist.com/2008/08/20/nfl_missing_out_on_texans_cowboys_r.php It would be a good rivalry. Right now the Texans and Titans are each others main rival.
I said it before and I will say it again the teams success has nothing to do with it. Nor does it mean one fan base thinks there to good to have a rivalry with another. Its just a fact, if you go up to Dallas you wont hear a word about the Texans or any kind of in state rivalry. I wish something could be done so that the Cowboys and Texans could play each other more than once every 4 years. But until then it is hard to call a rivalry between 2 teams that have played 2 total regular season games against one another.
A Darren Woodson jersey, huh? Apparently, it wasn't "just another game" to your boy Darren back in '02 when he said, and I quote, "We've got to win that game." Then he went out and got his a$$ beaten down in said game.
No, they just go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about how they don't care about the Texans. I'm truly amazed at how much work they put into trying to convince themselves that they don't care about the Texans. I know when I don't care about something, I spend an inordinate amount of time proclaiming how little i care about it. It is truly amazing how easy it is to get to Cryboy fans. The Texans and their fans have been in their heads for 8 years now.
Don't be ignorant, can you not comprehend what I said about going to 1-2 Texans games a year and actually pulling for them. I am talking about fan bases in general. I live in Houston and hear about it from Texans fans every day of coarse I care. Keep trying buddy and could you please link that quote from Woodson, I believe you and all I would like to read it myself
And, I live in Frisco...and I hear it from Cryboy fans...EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. Really, if you crybabies care so little about the Texans why do y'all constantly have to convince EVERYONE how little you care about the Texans? I guess it's not really EVERYONE ELSE you're trying to convince, is it. Why have you spent the better part of a morning on a fanbase and team you care so little about. It's a rivalry, plain and simple. Sports Illustrated shouted it on the cover and your boy Darren confirmed it, "We have got to win that game. So, spend the rest of the afternoon telling us all how it's not a rivalry and how you don't care. It just proves my point. And how deeply the Texans have gotten to you as a Cryboy fan.
Irregardless of what either the Cowboys or Texans fans want to believe, there is a rivalry. Now it is nowhere near the level that Texans fans want to believe, but it also alot more than Cowboys fans will admit. These to teams are in-state, and even though they have a short history with each other, it isn't a nice history. The Texans beat the Cowboys the first time they played them and made a big deal about it. The next game they played the Cowboys came out and won in style, and then preceded to make a big deal out of it. So with that, now we can all see that there is somewhat of a rivalry, can we put this to rest and get back to MARIO THA BEAST!!!!
I agree. You really can't call it a traditional "rivalry". However, whether they admit it or not, Cowboys fans want to win against the Texans just as badly as they want to beat an NFC Rival and it would piss them off equally to lose to us. And vice-versa.
