I like the Texans and will always root for them except against the Cowboys.
Oh wait, I don't live in Houston but root for them...I must be a bandwagoner.
according to what some of these guys are saying yes I guess you and i are bandwagoners
Don't get the facts twisted like your panties. I HAVE ALWAYS been a Spurs fan. I do root for the other Texas teams UNLESS they are playing the Spurs. Spurs and Cowboys have always been my 2 teams. But YOU have rooted for the Mavs against the Spurs. Thats bad form man.
WHen was this?? I guess you being a cowboy fan have telepathy cause I dont ever reacall this?
So that according to your definition...your a bandwagon fan too? So do you still root for the mavs......because I dont!!
Now you are just being an idiot. I've only had one team in NBA and NFL. Spurs and Cowboys. I've gone for the mavs when it suits my intrests, but have never rooted against the Spurs or Cowboys in all my life. When it comes being a fan, , Im a ing ins ution son.
But you still said you rooted for the mavs and other teams. You have also rooted for the texans but yet come in here talking about them. What is that, I guess it half bandwagon and half traitor!!!
you can hate on the Mav fans for hating on the Spurs but atleast we stay loyal to a team and root for the same one.
im a metroplex fan. i root for the Mavs, Cowboys, Rangers, Stars and always will
I like the stars, but do they even show hockey on tv still?
Ive rooted for the Spurs and Cowboys for 30 years....I would say that makes me pretty loyal to a team.
Same with me. I root for the Texans as well unless they are playing the Cowboys. I don't hate the Texans. Most Cowboy fans don't hate the Texans. We look at them like a little brother of the Cowboys. But there is definetly no hate at all coming from the Cowboys side. But, for whatever reason, they hate us with a passion.I like the Texans and will always root for them except against the Cowboys.
Oh wait, I don't live in Houston but root for them...I must be a bandwagoner.
I dont hate the cowboys, I just made that cowboy thread and was talking crap to piss off Ofactor. I love the Texans and will root for the cowboys unless its against Houston. I just felt like fighting and pissing Ofactor off, which I am sure I didnt.
Im more of a NBA (Spurs) and soccer guy ( mls, epl) but i do follow the texans abit. More then any nfl team. So I guess im checkn in
Oh since were talking about teams in sports
1. Spurs
2.Dynamo
3.Texans
4.Arsenal
other then those teams I go for anyone facing the mavs or basically any team that plays in Dallas lol
Texans' offensive line trying to build on last year's progress
By CHRIS DUNCAN, AP Sports Writer
August 7, 2007
HOUSTON (AP) -- Mike Brisiel found a chair next to a giant fan and guzzled a sports drink as the Texans wrapped up another practice in the oppressive Houston heat Tuesday.
The 6-foot-5, 310-pound lineman worked with the starting offensive front, but the second-year pro said there's nothing to read into that. He spent last season on the practice squad and he's competing now with third-year Texan Drew Hodgdon and rookie Kasey Studdard for a backup role on the final roster.

"I'm basically fighting for my life," he said. "Every play matters to me."
The same could be said of the entire offensive line.
The unit has taken flak from fans and the media since the franchise's inception, blamed for high sack totals and an anemic rushing attack. Center Steve McKinney, who played four seasons in Indianapolis before coming to the Texans in 2002, said the criticism was often unfair.
"You get sick of hearing that," McKinney said. "Everyone thinks it's the offensive line, but there are 11 guys out there and each one has a responsibility in protection. It's tough, but you always play with a chip on your shoulder because you know what's being said.
"This year," he said, "I really want us to play well and make a statement."
Last season, the line made clear progress -- the Texans cut their sack total from 68 in 2005 to 43 in '06 and increased their rushing first downs by 17, from 89 to 106.
McKinney, entering his 10th season, says the line has "picked up where we left off" in December and continues to show improvement in training camp.
He also likes what he's seen from quarterback Matt Schaub, who replaced David Carr, and knows the Texans have never had a back as explosive as Ahman Green, who signed as a free agent in March.
"You see the holes opening up," he said. "You see Ahman just hitting them fast and running downhill. That kind of gets you excited as a lineman. You say, 'You know what? That's nice, what we just did. We haven't really had that.'
"You see Schaub hit Andre Johnson on a quick 18-yard out and you say to yourself, 'You know what? We could be pretty good."'
The main concern at the moment is getting everybody healthy.
Brisiel played right guard on Tuesday, in place of Fred Weary, who rolled his right ankle in practice Monday. Chester Pitts, the expected starter at left guard, missed Tuesday's practice due to back spasms and McKinney moved over from center to fill in.
Eric Winston and Ephraim Salaam remain the starting tackles and Mike Flanagan, another possible starting center, did the snapping for the first-team offense.
Coach Gary Kubiak said the injuries to Weary and Pitts are minor, though Pitts will miss Saturday's preseason opener against Chicago.
Their absences give more opportunities to the rest of the backups.
Jordan Black and Scott Jackson have maneuvered into likely reserve roles at tackle.
Brisiel played in Europe in the spring. Hodgdon made five starts at center last season. Studdard grew up in Colorado -- Kubiak's wife used to babysit him -- before he became a three-time All-Big 12 performer at Texas.
The compe ion will do nothing but help the depth of the Texans line.
"We've got some talent," McKinney said. "We've got some players who can do some good things on the field, probably more so than we've had in the past. We still have to continue building.
"But you can see flashes of what we can be and know what we're truly capable of."
I think Atrain and Ofactor are secret lovers.
I figure Ofactor is the taker.
to be honest i really dont follow the Stars that much. i mean, i'll only root for them to win and stuff but i dont have much interest in the NHL. if they go on a Stanley Cup run i'll probly watch their games so that might be bandwagoning or frontrunning but who cares? its only hockey
Hey ATRAIN:
The Texans suck ass!!!!!
(I plan to start every morning with this phrase)
just cause he sucks me off doesnt mean that we are lovers
We will see about that ho!!
After passing up on Young and Bush, it's hard to actually root for the texans, but I wonder how they'll do this season.

I said it once and ill say it again, im glad they passed on reggie, I think he is very over-rated!! VY though, yeah I still cry about that one.
YEAH...loyal fans FTMFW
hey whens the next texan pre season game?
They got the Cards on Saturday at 3pm.
Hopefully Von Hutchins can step up now that Earl is out for the season. They are already weak at the safety position as it is.
