I just walked across the street in an attempt to buy the ceremonial 12-pack of Shiner only to be told that it wasn't legal to buy beer before noon. Senseless law...but football begins today and, having prayed for a Houston W, I will not complain.

My condolences on your loss. It's hard to have a celebratory beer after the game when you can't buy any on Sunday. You'd think that the NFL lobby in Congress would overturn the laws. Or at least allow beer to be sold before noon on a Sunday with football.

It's very strange to me that these laws exist at all. What exactly is the purpose? Do they think alcoholics will simply get discouraged and decide not to drink if they can't do so before noon on Sunday? Either way, the store is within walking distance. So I'll just try to time it right and make it back as kick off is happening. Fortunately, the inevitable 9/11 brouhaha should buy me a little time. GO TEXANS!!!

I'm nervous as hell about this game. I would feel a million times better if Foster was playing, but I agree with resting him to let that hamstring heal up right. I'm anxious to see this D wreak havoc with an actual gameplan and give our offense an extra series or 2, plus better field position. Here's to an injury free game for both teams.....Go TEXANS!
