    Like all yall, i still say the late 80s and 90s oilers uniform were the cleanest and best looking in nfl

    Yep, loved it, and it was so damned distinctive compared to a lot of them.

    Same with the Astros rainbow unis.  Came across this bit about the Astros rainbow uniforms - apparently the people designing it had never done uniforms before, but everybody agreed they wanted something unique.

    actually amazing that it was a 1 score game at the end of the day. We played the worst game possible and still were a few plays going right for us from winning this game. Should meet them again, hopefully a reverse of last year where we win the game at the end of the year that matters most.

    If we could get our return game together, it would be different.

    I don’t understand the Texans hate ...Are the McNairs great owners?   Obviously not ,  but they are better that fucking asshole Bud Adams.

    90% they are not the Oilers, 5% apathy/dislike of the name/colors/etc. and 5% hate of the NFL for this happening. Don't give a shit about the owners, if I did, I never would have rooted for the Oilers.

    When it was announced that they were moving, I just stopped caring.   I probably went through some grief of sorts, but I was already prepared, so I just stopped caring.  It's actually remarkable how quickly I said "fuck it" - I don't think I've watched a complete NFL game since the Oilers left.

    Even if I had been living around or in Houston after the Texans came in, I don't think I would care.   

    I could not tell you what it would take to get me to give a shit about an NFL team these days, even if I had time these days, because I can't think of anything.  There was just something about the Oilers, something about the Astrodome, something about the history of the players who suited up as Oilers.  I like what was said earlier, about growing up as a child with them making you a fan as an adult.
