You know what? It didn’t bother me either. Both teams were wearing historical jerseys and the titans used to be the Oilers, so like it or not, it’s part of their history. It’s funny, I no longer hate the titans because they used to be the Houston Oilers before they skipped town. That’s ancient history. Now I just hate them because they’re a division rival.
i understand. i don't have a problem with them wearing the Oilers logo...they wore that in TN. wearing HOUSTON in big letters across their chests was a bit much for me, though.
Like studogg, I actually found that to be kind of cool. Just a reminder to the rest of the world that there was actually football in Houston before the Texans. (insert obvious joke about there still not being football in Houston)
recently your posts have gotten old and tired. i used to respect you, but this new line of posts is lame...and you know it.
I really don't understand why this was an issue for you? They WERE the Houston Oilers and they were wearing their throwback unis. I thought it was very cool. Should it have said the Tennesee Oilers on their chests? That would have been strange.
hmmm..well i'm not really sure how to explain it beyond saying, "i didn't like it." they took the name Oilers with them....I suppose I didn't realize they were also taking the city's name with them, as well.
It would tick me off more if I lived in Tennessee. Just a reminder that when it comes to history -- their history is HOUSTON. Like the wife keeping the old boyfriends picture on the nightstand. And like when the mayors of opposing teams make a bet.....the following week, they have to wear the WINNERS colours. (as an aside -- and as a Warren Moon fan from waaay back -- I did a double take, and smiled when I saw the baby blue Oiler Uni's on Sunday).
Hells yeah, if the cows lose tonite I can pretty much listen to sports radio the rest of the week, it'd be great!
It's a reference of a Star Wars quote from Episode IV. When they first see the Death Star from aboard the Millenium Falcon, Solo says, "looks like they're headed for that small moon." Obi-wan then says, "That's no moon."
anytime there was any reference to a moon or virtually anything related to space, someone would pop in and throw that out. then its overuse became funny...and in different contexts...to some, anyway. me included
