I hear ya. I didn't realize you were that far south, I don't blame you.

I will be there this Sunday.

Hey man, I will be there Sunday, save me a seat! My inlaws will be in town, and they are Cowgirl fans, and since they have a bye this week, they won't be leaving as early to make it home in time for the game.

Will do, I am bringing my wife if we can find a sitter so I might end up at a table depending on how early we get there, I will save you a seat though if at all possible.

I think I am going to try and make it this weekend Hardcore. I'm only about 8 miles out (near Lake Creek and 183).

Note to self: I do NOT need to write Mr. Paul of the Allegheny about his great support of Texas teams even though I'm am so far north I probably would not make it down there this year.

Cool beans, we will look for you. I will most likely be in a battle red Demeco jersey.

I'll be there if you guys don't mind closed captioning on just one tv.

I don't mind a bit, come on down! I did ask once before just out of curiosity if they could do it and was told the bigger flat screens couldn't do it but some of the smaller TV's could. That's gotta be horsesh*! though, why would a new, big, nice flat screen not have be able to do it when my old CRT can do it. I will make it by there during this work week and find out, I will talk to one of the managers and try and get a clear answer and post it on here. I don't see why it's not possible, or why anyone would mind, I sure don't mind at all.

I'll be fine watching it on one of the smaller TV. I just want to be able to understand the game and cheer along with my fellow fans and friends.

It is horsebleep though. Federal law states all TVs that are larger than 13 inches must have the captioning decoder built in. This law has been in effect for all TVs made past 1993 or so.

It bothers some people having it on so some people DO mind. I can understand that but when an establishment has twenty TVs and refuses to turn one on... ugh... A couple of people complained about it from this board once to go along with my battle with the management of Third Base.

Yeah, I remember the posts concerning Turd Base about it, I agree it's crap, with all this technology we have at our disposal, it can't be THAT difficult.

I'm just so, so sick of feeling like crap on Sundays because my team continues to do what they do. I guess I have an empty life if football rules me that much, but it does.

I feel ya Chris. I'm right there too.

Hey Nitro,
I called up there and talked to one of the bar managers that I know, he said the would be able to put on CC on one of the TV's.

I blame the product on the field and the Texans front office and marketing department. They have done very little to try and promote the Texans outside of the Houston area. Sure they sent some Cheerleaders out last year to Austin and to San Antonio and I think they did something in San Antonio this year. But that is it. When the Schuab trade went down, there were no Austin media member there. That was a big trade for the organization at the time. I am not wanting to debate if it was good or not, doesn't matter. If it would have been the Cowboys you can bet some media members would have been there to cover it from both Austin and San Antonio

So with all that said, I want to thank the Texans organization for putting a ****ty product on the field and not doing anything throughout its short history to try and market the team and create a fan base in other areas.

Just plain sucks to be a Texan fan in Austin, the TV market does not care about me and the Texans organization does not care about me.

Sad but true. I wish they would do something to drum up support in these parts. As it has been said before, winning would cure a lot of these ills. Growing pains suck.

Hell in the first year the Academy's were stocked with Texans gear, we had player sightings, lots of media etc.
The next year the clerk at Academy said they put all Texans gear on clearance and won't get anymore, then we got a visit from 2 cheerleaders and two players from the practice squad, then nothing.
That's when I knew we were doomed here.
I eve tried to volunteer to be a local merch rep, nada!

Nitro, I double checked with them last night and they said it was no problem.

Fortunately we're a Nielsen family this week. Guess which NFL game we are NOT to be listing as watched in the Austin market today?

If you said "Titans on KEYE," you are correct. It's the Vikes-Packers on Fox in this Nielsen household...

[eriadoc]

You lucky bastards.

I planned on going to Joe's to watch the game but got sick around 10:30 this morning. I became very dizzy and nauseated, almost throwing up, and the room didn't stop spinning until after kickoff. I laid on the sofa in the fetal position watching the Minnesota-Green Bay game while listening to the radio broadcast of the Texans game.

I'm glad I stayed home. I surely would've barfed all over the bar if I'd seen that game with my own eyes.
