Thanks for your support!
Think it's getting the board energized, wanting. What say you?? I think we will be more than pleasantly surprised as things progress...
I'm suffering an Energy Crisis. I do not expect much. Copycatting NE isn't any better than Copycatting Denver. We needed our own identity.Think it's getting the board energized, wanting. What say you?? I think we will be more than pleasantly surprised as things progress...
What's with this "Obie" nonsense?

He may not say much in words, but O'Brien speaks volumes with his eyes.
Or maybe it's his chin?
More like the Longhorn logo.Is it me or does that cleft in his chin look like the Texans logo?
More like the Longhorn logo.
Which means the Texans will not draft Johnny Football.Ugh! You're right.

He has the butt chin of all butt chins.
It's his nickname from prior to getting here.
No, it isn't. It's OB.

hmpf... they screwed it up way back then eh?
No, it isn't. It's OB.
I'm with Marcus. I can type "OB" but think "Obie" or "O'Bie" looks weird.
Functionally the same but one works and the other doesn't (to me).
How long until we have an OB facepalm?

y'know. "O'Brien" is not really that many more characters to type, and nobody is confused who we are talking about. I'm going old school.
It's going to take me awhile to get accustomed to automatically knowing "Obie", "O'Bie", "OB", "B'OB", "Billy O", "BillO" is always Bill O'Brien.
I'm not knocking nicknames or those that use it, but just commenting from my perspective that my mind does not automatically connect it right now.
As far as the thread subject and the FO silence, I do not expect them to give us anything in the next few months. They are not going to tip their hand about the draft, we the little info we will get will probably be general platitudes and the typical coach speak about players and schemes.

I alluded to this another thread, but my only deal with this nickname business, is that there are nicknames given to players that don't have them, to the point where sometimes when they are used, I get a little confused about who they are referring to. But when it was revealed that O'Brien actually did have a nickname, the reaction among some, was as if it was some kind of sacred territory infringement.

I'm with you. O'Brien isn't that many characters to type. Plus, I don't personally know the man, so I don't have the right to call him what his friends call him.
...but that's just me
Good call.....................OW
Yes, O-Dub is spot on.

Do you have a problem with Andre, or know him personally?
We call him Aj, because we love him. I call OB, "OB" because I'm trying to welcome him to the fam.
