    Houston is a fair-weather city not a bandwagon city. Miami is a bandwagon city. Nothing wrong with either really, I would really, really wish they support during down times as well though.

    I am not a Houstonian, so I can't answer the question.

    But outside of Houston / US, it has to be Lin.

    I'd definitely say Watt - as long as he keeps up with all his charitable actions and his continued good-natured interaction with fans, Houstonians will love him even if his level of play decreases to average for the rest of his career. This is Texas..we love people with class and integrity.

    I don't closely follow the Texans or Astros, so I always thought Johnson was our franchise player, followed by Foster then Watt. I pick Lin :D

    I've watched about two Texans games in the last 3 years, but my FB makes it extremely obvious it's Watt.

    It was Johnson and then it was Foster and now it's def Watt. He arguably just had the best season for a defensive lineman ever and could get goat status for his position. What he did last season was unheard of.

    It is almost football season! J.J. Watt. Amazing isn't it? J.J. is standing on the edge of "legend hood."
