    I'm from the Philippines, so please be gentle. :)

    I've always been a fan ever since Eddie George joined them. Just wondering if there any former OILERS folks in here who are still loyal to the team.

    I grew up in the 60's as an Oiler fan. I can remember their <b>AFL</b> championships. I'm in North Carolina, so that the Oilers moved a lot closer was pleasant for me. They are not yet our preferred regional AFC team .... yet. We are still bogged down with Miami or Pittsburgh usually.

    I think I'll be rooting for the Titans but I will always have a great fondness for any NFL team in Houston.

    I am a big fan of all Houston sports teams. The only non Houston teams I really like are the Carolina Hurricanes and NC State.

    I also root for the Steelers b/c of Bill Cowher.

    Yes,

    I still root for the Titans.

    I also root for the Texans, but if they play....I am for the Titans.

    I don't live in Houston anymore.

    Damn the Bud Adams and the Titans. I love the Texans, but I will never forgive Bud for moving the Oilers. Yes, I'm bitter, but I don't see how we could pour our heart & soul into supporting Oilers for 3 decades and then have it and all its memories transferred somewhere else so Bud could fatten his wallet. They stole our team and then changed its name but kept all the players and history. Then they went to the Super Bowl. They're not the Oilers, so screw Bud and the Titans. And while they may be hot, they will not win a Super Bowl before us! GO TEXANS!

    I grew up in Houston, huge Oilers fan, they moved to TN, and then a year later, I moved to TN for my job, but now I'm moving back to TX. I still cheer for the Titans, but the Texans are my team.

    Geez, it's like you read my mind Timing.... I feel the exact same way. I loved the Oilers.... bled "Luv Ya" Blue.... and they broke my heart. God save the Texans and their saintly owner Bob McNair.

    And to you Mr. Adams... may God have mercy on your soul!

    The Texans are my favorite team, but the Titans are my second favorite. I want the Texans to win the weekend against the Titans, but I will be rooting for the Titans in the playoffs.

    wouldn't the tennessee "fan" be the very definition of bandwagon?

    how so? I was a Houston Oiler fan since birth and I didn't jump ship when the team did. How is that a bandwagon fan?
