    First off you claimed I called you a liar.

    Second I read your post and came to the conclusion that either your friend or you embellished the story because I have not ever heard someone tell me that they could not give away 2-4 NFL tickets, maybe someone would turn them down but not everyone.

    Now it could be true but I would claim that's the exeption not the rule.

    This brings to mind a funny story a friend of mine from New York told me years ago. His family had Giants' season tickets during the time before Bill Parcells' tenure when the team was an absolute NFL joke. On the Monday after yet another ugly embarrassing loss, his dad was so mad, he put his season tickets on the windshield of his car - free to anyone who wanted them. When his father came out to drive home, He found that folks had left 4 more sets of season tickets on the windshield! So I guess that while things are bad around here, it's important to try to keep a little bit of perspective.

    What a de-rail of a thread.

    IROC, get there early and tailgate, have a good time and try to get into the stadium atleast half an hour before the game. Just seeing the stadium is quite a rush. I take it for granted now, but it is very impressive. Have fun!

    great. but you missed my point and you're conveniently skimming over it, still. i never said they couldn't give away their tickets to anyone in the world...but that their clients and potential clients would not take them. see, giving these tickets to clients and potential clients makese these tickets deductible as business expenses. it's why they have the company buy the tickets to begin with. if they give away the tickets to your buddies, they're not deductible.

    read my original post. you said i'm embellishing. i haven't. they couldn't give the tickets away to their clients. and that's giving them concern about purchasing them again next season.

    Hold on just a minute here. If that's directed at Mr. MEOWGI, shouldn't that read: "Your Mamasan?"

    Yeah, I know. Just trying to lighten things up around here. Things are just a little too grim concerning the Texans these days...

    Thanks for the tip! (And thanks for calling out the de-rail... it reminds me of Triumph the Insult Comedy Dog... it has been POOPED ON!!!)

    Any way, to update a bit... Stub Hub got me the tickets in hand in less than 24 hours! :eek: That's flippin' sweet!

    And my 4 year old daughter already had a Texans cheerleader outfit, so I just got a little uniform (helmet, jersey, pants by Franklin) ordered to be here before Christmas for my 7 year old son.. It's gonna be a good day. :D

    We'll get there plenty early, say 10 - 10:30, and just take it all in...

    Hopefully some promo/PR people see my kids all dressed to the nines in Texans gear and give us a seating upgrade for TV purposes or something...

    It's also Fan Appreciation Day sponsored by Ford... so maybe they give out things to the first x-amount of fans?? Anyone know this, yes or no?

    I'm more excited about this than Christmas this year. My kids have seen an online picture of the seats and they are like "Whooooooooaaa, cooooool, Daddy! We're going there??!!?"

    Good times indeed! ;)

    IROC: I too am excited about going to the Texans Browns game. My sister is coming into town and it will be the first time in a while that my whole family is going to be together. I know the Texans suck, but there is nothing better than being with your family and spending a Sunday afternoon at the football game. win or lose.

    of course, I would love to see the Texans win, but I think that might be asking too much.

    I originally heard that as a story about the Oilers. I always thought it was true, but apparently it's an urban legend that has been around for a long time.

    Sweeeeeeet. Playoffs-implicating football. That's almost as good as "playing the spoiler".

    Here's to playoff runs and big games in 2008 and beyond.

    Heading down to H-Town on Saturday...

    Will be sure and post pics of the experience when I get back! ;)


    (btw- The Allen Outlet Reebok store has tons of Texans gear for 40% off including A. Johnson jerseys... $29.99... if any DFW fans are interested.)

    Great time had by all!

    Brief recap before we drive back home... (I'll post pics and maybe some short vids, including Talyor's TD run when I get home - at dad's on dial-up with this post).

    Great atmosphere! Can't wait to see what a playoff team will generate in that place. WOW! Sleeper of a no-playoff team, loser-bowl match-up and it was awesome.

    I had a tear come to my eye a time or two. Man I miss Houston!

    People were ultra nice... Dallas is much more snobby and stuck up... I can see it more clearly upon coming back.

    I have one question for long-time Texans game goers on the BBS...

    "What is the song they play after a score, right before the kick-off?"

    It was a techno song that every one of the regulars were sort of chanting or humming too...

    I'd love to have that as a ring tone, or at least have a copy of it. Thanks!

    Pics and vids may be up tomorrow... ;)
