Longhorns In The League, and Other NFL Notes

Posted by EyesOfTX on January 3rd, 2010 under Football

Holy cow, the hits just keep on coming for former Texas Longhorns in the NFL... Jamaal Charles, who barely saw the field in the first half of this season, shattered the Kansas City Chiefs' single-game rushing record today, running up 259 yards on the day, putting him over 1,100 yards for the season. Chiefs' LB Derrick Johnson ran back two interceptions for touchdowns in the team's upset of the Broncos, and flashed the Hook 'em sign after

Overheard on the Longhorn internets

Typically this column (?) is reserved for stupid shit Texas fans say about Texas football. But sometimes I make exceptions. Sometimes a post will come along that will make me want to seek out the original poster, cradle him in my arms like a newborn baby and then protect from the evil in the world. For example. People that are talking about VY are being sarcastic, right? Matt Schaub is 5th in the NFL in passing. He

Holy sh*t!!! Vince is still the man.

Ninety-nine yard drive to win the game as time expires. Converts three fourth downs along the way. Career passing day. How can you not believe in this guy?!

In case you missed it from being completely dialed in for the Texas vs. Iowa basketball game, the next stop in the Vince Young comeback tour is the fair city of Houston, Texas.

As the Titans Turn- VY at Houston on MNF

Posted by TaylorTRoom on November 19th, 2009 under Football

Hard to believe that this will be Vince's first game back in Houston since his rookie year.  He was hurt in 2007, and benched in 2008.  He left as a conqueror in 2006, and returns as a guy trying to save his career in 2009. Has there ever been a player who has been as misunderstood?  There is so much contradictory info out there.  He has a career passer rating of 70.1, which is below average.

U.N. Sanctions Houston Texans

Posted by Doperbo on October 6th, 2008 under Football

In a surprising turn of events the United Nations has formally leveled sanctions against the Houston Texans organization following a loss to the Indianapolis Colts yesterday afternoon, leaving owner Bob McNair and many of his staff stunned. The move apparently came on the heels of what has been described as a heart wrenching loss for the Texans fanbase, following the loss of a large fourth quarter lead and what would have been the first

Houston finally admits Mario was a mistake

OK, so maybe it was only the Houston Chronicle. Jerome Solomon explores what might have been if Texans management had found their senses in the boxes in Charlie Casserly's office. Charley Casserly, the general manager who made the choice for the Texans, isn't in the mood to reflect on that question just yet. After saying he hadn't seen enough of Williams to evaluate his play thus far, Casserly, who now works as an analyst

Texans Protest Game Coverage

Posted by Doperbo on November 1st, 2007 under Football

The CBS affiliate in Houston, KHOU Channel 11, has been bombarded with protests this week regarding the sports programming line-up for the slate of NFL games scheduled this Sunday. Houston Texan fans are historically well known for such vocal demonstrations and boycotts, mainly because they are all Aggies. The controversy this week stems around the distribution map for the two late games on CBS: Houston vs. Oakland and New England vs. Indianapolis.

The Austin Texans?

Posted by Doperbo on September 13th, 2007 under Football

This phrase should make perfect sense, right? Some things just belong together. Hall and Oates. The Captain and Tenille. Duran and Duran. They just fit. They go. They blend. Everyone knows you can't have The Captain and Oates, it just wouldn't work. The harmony is all off and now both guys have a mustache, which is creepy. Plus it sounds like a breakfast cereal.
