Not a criticism of the Mario Williams draft but: Reggie Bush said he wanted to be a Texan...because he's from San Diego and he knows that if he goes #1 he'll get paid $$$$$ Vince Young said he wanted to play for the Texans cause... he's from Houston.. it was pretty genuine. ---- Fast forward to today, this thread in early October was bumped by some non-VY Fan. Then Today, MrDave, a Titan fan, goes on here to see where the doubters are who claimed VY would suck today. Only to get a post by some newb pretty much calling VY a bad human being and wanting to fail in life. ---- Also, for my pals Macalu and Kam, if you really don't care much about VY, why are you always here?
If you support the Titans then you are a cuckold. You like to sit on the bed and watch while another man plows your wife. Vince Young, god bless him, but if you are a Houstonian who roots for the Nashville team you can go to hell.
Youn, Reggie didn't want to come to Houston. He wanted to play for the Jets. Atleast that was reported in some ESPN Chat back in 2006. No, i'm not your pal.
ok non pal, you had your pal go on xboxlive just so they you lure me to irc. apparently maybe you are on this thread cause i'm on this thread. thanks though, i totally forgot about irc. that's old school. for people who supposedly dislike my posts you guys sure make an effort to reply to all my stuff.
oh there's a massive hatred between the cities of nashville and houston. it's like the yankees and the red sox. no. not really. one team has been in the nfl for a very long time and another team is an expansion team about to finally have a decent season. newsflash, there alot of houstonians or former houstonians who don't root for the Texans or Titans. but it's good to know you are so die hard consider the team doesn't really have any history.
Incorrect. YOFs and VYOFs are two entirely different animals that emerged from two entirely different situations. Wanna know the biggest difference? YAO MING ACTUALLY PLAYS FOR A HOUSTON TEAM!
Wow. This thread is a train wreck. I really can't understand it either. It was a great choice by the Texans to select Mario. There is no question he's the best player of the three. He's probably a top 5 player at his position. That said, why would anyone root against Vince? He has not performed well since his rookie year, but he played outstanding yesterday. As long as he's not playing us, I can't understand why people wouldn't suppport him. Personally, I don't like UT at all. I support Michigan and UH but he's a native Houstonian who does a lot here. Not to mention what he's done for McNair's children since Steve passed. Hopefully, he's turned his life and career around. That's just my opinion though
He went to UT. That's why people hate him and don't let them tell you otherwise. The same people on here calling VY a bust after 2 seasons of playing time were calling Cedric Benson the biggest bust ever after the same amount of time. Michael Huff also gets a lot of flack despite being played out of position in his first year or two in Oakland. If VY had gone to UH or A&M, many of these people would be singing much different tunes.
Normally, I can understand that type of logic. Honestly, I root against any player who came from Ohio State unless they play for a Detroit or Houston team. That said, Young comes from and proudly represents Houston. He's a home town kid. I would think that unless you were a die hard A@M fan, it would be hard to root against him. Like I said, I don't like UT at all, but I hope Vince does well. He made some mistakes, but if he's turned his life and career around, then it's a great story in my opinion. I was really happy to see him do well yesterday. Benson really brought a lot of that on himself. I don't think he was really dedicated to football until last season. He has always had all the talent in world, but the light bulb didn't seem to go on until last season. He's clearly one of the top 5 backs in the NFL this season though. I agree on Huff. I've been hoping the Texans would get him for cheap for the past two seasons.
Partially. I think a lot of the hatred came from UT fans calling the Texans and their fans idiots for not taking him in the draft.
Donny, You do realize that a lot of us do not live in Houston, and this very BBS was started by a guy who lived in Austin at the time. I don't understand why you care that people on an INTERNET message board like Vince Young. Who cares? DD
Calling someone sucks is not "rooting against him". It's just stating an opinion(or in this case, fact). And rooting for someone doesn't mean you can't also dislike the insane amount of stupid hype and fans that surround him.
I get that. I'm just not one of those people who lets hype around players effect my opinion of them. I just ignore it. When ESPN became Favre TV for like 3 months this year, I just zoned it out. Vince earned his hype, both good and bad. Why let the actions of people other then the said player effect your attitude towards him? I guess I'm just saying if you're a Houston guy that didn't go to A@M I don't really get why you would hate the kid. I'll probably get killed for this, but Kobe Bryant is one of my favorite players. I don't care about all the hype. I simply respect his amazing dedication to be great. He never stops working to get better.
No, you are missing the point, entirely. Fans of the Rockets are not necessarily fans of the Texans. A lot of people on this board are not from Houston, or don't live there. Therefore your ideal world of everyone cheering Houston, does not exist. As an example, I still like the Titans and the Texans....when they play each other....I have no dog in the fight. If the Oilers were still around that would be different but they aren't......and I don't live in Houston, so don't really follow the Texans..... DD
Come on. Comparing Farve to the Vince hype a couple of years ago? You might as well be comparing the Rice Owls to the Rockets.
What ideal world? Everyone cheering Houston? Who am I? Tinman? I've said it before and I'll say it again, the thing I care about are obnoxious troll fluffer fanboys who come on here and try to shat all over my team and say their boy is Jesus reincarnate and how wrong I am to not worship him with ridiculously absurd excuses and arguments that make about as much sense as well... tinman. Like whoever you want, cheer for whoever you want, but why go out of your way to rub people's noses in it like the fluffers have since 2005?
