I go back a bit further than most of the folks around here. My earliest memories of football was the Houston Oilers fight song playing over the intercom in elementary school when the Oilers won. I remember Oliver Luck (not Andrew) tripping over the 20 yard line with great regularity. I remember years in the abyss followed by seemingly dozens of creative ways to take the most talented team in the NFL to the brink of greatness.
I suppose the Texans were just a continuation of that tradition. I’m a third generation Houstonian. I’m destined to follow Houston teams and usually end up disappointed.
