Wow, that's a hard one for me personally. Do I hate the Titans more or love the Texans more? Tough call.

I will say the Titans hater side of me is 6-0 right now, while the Texans lover of me is 4-3.

Regardless, I am rooting for 0-7 so you can interpret that as you wish. It is only the mid part of the season. The Texans will have plenty of time to separate themselves from Jacksonville.

Now if this were the last week of the season and the Titans had to win to put the Texans into the playoffs, I could live with them winning for just one week I guess.

BTW, no matter what the situation you would NEVER see me say or type "Go T*t*ns". See I couldn't even do it there, unless the words "to hell" separated those 2 words.

This. Every Titans loss gives me a little more joy.

I can see the other side though. If Vince comes in and they win 3 straight, there will at least be some hype for the MNF game. It'll also give Jacksonville and Buffalo kicks in the crotch that could benefit us at the end of the year.

For me that's not enough to root for Vince and Tennessee in a division game midseason.

[MojoMan]

I still think Vince can be an outstanding QB in the NFL. Obviously he is going to have to grow up and act like a man. He is going to have to start taking responsibility for his own actions, and pushing through difficult times and situations. He cannot just sit down and pout or go on suicide watch every time things get tough for him.

Also, he needs to become a dedicated, perhaps even obsessive, student of the game. He needs to work hard to improve his skills and his understanding of his craft. Those are a lot of ifs, but they are all very achievable, if he will commit himself to the task. If he does this, I would not be surprised at all to see Vince Young in the Pro Bowl again some day.

Haha. I'm not saying you or anyone else but it's kinda time for me to let it go. I've got a new team here that wants to be here and they're playing their asses off for us right now. If they need a Titans win, then by gosh, I'm going to root for a Titans win. It does give me the heebiewillies saying that but whatever it takes for the Houston Texans.

I do root for the Titans to lose every chance I get. Just not if it helps the Texans. We need the tiebreaker that much at this point in time merely because we lost to Jacksonville. I hate them so much but whatever it takes.

My number one hated team... Cowgirls then it'd be the Titans.

If ANY QB with talent adhered to that criterion, they'd all be probowlers.

That'll be a big fat no. Pun intended, FlubbyMarcus

Texans win out, no problemo.

I couldn't root for the Titans if my life depended on it - or even the Texans going to the playoffs. As far as I can go is to not be a lot unhappy if they win.

I do hope VY does get to play because I think that will probably be a very amusing game from a Titan Hater point of view.

I have heard that Vince isn't the most well-liked guy in the locker room - can't imagine why. Couple that with his lackluster play over the past few years and I can see why Fisher doesn't want Vince at the helm. I, on the other hand, can't wait to see him back! The first set of Boo's from the fans will have him running away again.

Couldn't happen to a better owner, imho.

You're a Texan fan first, so you're rooting for the Titans? That doesn't make sense unless the game mattered for the playoff hunt, and it doesn't right now. They haven't even played half of their games & Houston still has one game against Jacksonville. If Houston can't outplay J-ville the rest of the year they simply don't deserve to be in the playoffs. I honestly don't want to see the Titans have any success.

Word up! This is pretty much how I feel, as well. I would not be rooting for the Titans to win, but rather whoever they were playing to lose so we can get in the playoffs.

Then I would put some dish liquid soap and hydrochloric acid in my ears and scrub my brain with sandpaper, erasing all memory of such an event.

Exactly!! It's only some far-fetched scenario at the end of the season that would even make me consider selling out my soul for such a thing, and that hardly ever happens (and never happens to this point for the Texans...obviously).

See, I'm the opposite. I used to hate the Cowboys, but all of that got eclipsed by the intense, burning hatred for Slug's team. Now I strongly dislike Dallas, but even my 7 yo knows the rule of the house and when it's actually o.k. to root for the Cowboys: when they play the Titans!

p.s. Why do you hate the Cowboys? What did they do to you? If you're honest with yourself as a Houston fan, you'll see the envy for what it is...not that there's anything wrong with it.

Root for the Titans?! NEVER!!!

The uniforms are wrong and something should be done about it. That was our team.

Oh it's got nothing to do with envy. I loved the Governor's cup back in the day and I wanted it every time we played whether it be preseason or not. Thus I developed an intense hatred for intra-state teams no matter the sport. I hate the Spurs and Mavericks. I hate the North Stars. I hate the Rangers. And most of all... I hate the Cowgirls.

[Double Barrel]

NP, Nitro, I was just yanking your chain.

So the question is: would you root for the Cowboys if they were playing the Jaguars this week?

[NitroGSXR]

It was still a good question. You learned something about me, yanking or not.

[Thorn]

I don't care what the Tacks do, as long as we beat them when we play them. Let 'em start VY, we have the better QB anyway. The Titans are done for this year, so now they can just be jerks and spoil other's playoff runs, which is the only thing that scares me about them.

And that Monday night game we got coming up, they'll be up for it even if they are still zip in the win collumn. You just know they will.

I couldn't be more opposite than you. I root for most of the teams in Texas, unless they're playing my favorite team in the State. I'm not a Cowboy fan, and don't claim to be, but my hatred for them doesn't even come close to the Titans. It's hard for me to actually hate a team that Houston doesn't play but once every four years. Same thing with the Texas Rangers. I only root against them 6 times a year. All of which come against the Astros. I don't hate any team that is from Texas.

I know. Most people are like you. I always get the exasperated WHY!? They're from Texas too!

I'm there with you, I hate the Cowgirls more than any team in the NFL. More than the Tacks, Colts and Kittens put togeather. Screw the Cowturds. I hope their new stadium falls in and they move to Jacksonville after the Jacks move to LA. hahahahahahaha

[Texan_Bill]

We have so much discrimination on this board. I hate them both equally.
