Bingo.

What is getting DieHard is the same thing that is getting me and probably a lot of us here in LaLa East. If you are told something you know to be wrong combined with the condescending manner with which you are being told it's very irritating.

I gave her the normal "you represent Texas and the Texans, and we want to watch the local team not teams thousands of miles away..."
Oh well, Guess I'll be out watching the game!
Anyone south or west wanna hook up?

See, now hat's just a flat-out lie. Plus it further confirms that they have control and can change the games at will (but that was already obvious because they changed it to TEN/MIA and not the CBS game of the week).

At least this time around, Dusty is taking the "just don't even reply" approach. In the past, he's always returned my emails within hours.

I know we got FOX to change it this close to game time!!! I seem to remember Gary changing it last year...Amy said "NO they did not do that" and she has been there for 4 years now...
She gave me a consolation of saying that they ARE showing the last two games...I guess Fox has the tacks coverage

Yet another flat-out lie.

I always get a free 5 PC wings with those cards they give out so I save bucks that way and you can catch good deals at other times. I don't go to may bars so I am not sure how the pricing compares, but the other places I have been in RR it's about the same.

That's where I'll be. Love those 5 wing cards...they come in handy for that prenoon cereza. Don't know about high prices, it's the same every week.

I have seen a fair share of people cut because of poor decision making and a changing business model in the TV business.

Ratings are tough to come by and NFL games are their clear winners.

Go fight your battle. But understand what the other side is having to go through to maintain their jobs and having to let people go in the process.

Worrying about complaining Texan fans is probably not high on their list.

[treduke]

so where are the south or west austin texans fans meeting?
i'm so tired of being treated like a second class citizen because i cheer for the texans! i rather the jerks at keye tell the truth that they only showed the texans because the titans were playing awful i could stomach that better than there's nothing we can do this close to game time POPPYCOCK!!!

[Mailman]

Anyone up for some game watching at Red's Porch on South Lamar?

[patbone21]

This was inevitable as soon as the titans went back to the longhorn as their starting qb.

Here's hoping the redskins draft mccoy so i won't have to watch the cowboys anymore.

[El Tejano]

Here's hoping WE draft Mccoy or Shipley. Especially if UT wins the NCG.

Wont make a difference and that would be a waste of a pick

I don't see how you can say that. Schaub will be nearing the end of his contract and if we can't get to the playoffs with him, it would be nice to have a pretty decent QB that was drafted and had a year to watch and learn.

As for Shipley, he could be a very nice slot receiver for us that also provides the return duties. Our WR are good but they are starting to fall off and not contribute.

BTW,thanks K-Eye for not showing this pathetic game.
