I knew he had a high ankle sprain but man, one of the most promising QBs to come out in the last decade.Colts have to be upset to say the least.
I guess he just wasn't mentally tough enough.I knew he had a high ankle sprain but man, one of the most promising QBs to come out in the last decade.
They will still be dangerous with their oline - especially at the oilcan.knowing the Texans we will still have a tough time with the colts and split with them 1-1 LOL
Yeah, at least he’s from the Houston area.Hire him as head coach.
Not really. He spent his high school years here. Much of his youth before that was spent in Europe where his dad was an executive for the World League of American Football.Yeah, at least he’s from the Houston area.
I am for one think you can’t judge an athlete like this and say they are not “mentally tough enough.” He has the rest of his life to live.I guess he just wasn't mentally tough enough.
His grandparents on his mom's side are here. Spent plenty of summers in Houston. His dad moved the family back to Houston in 2001 to become head of Houston Sports Authority. So Luck spent his middle school years here, as well. Houston was as much a home to Luck as anywhere, but I would guess he's heading to Czechia, where his wife is from.Not really.

Who are the Houston Roughnecks?I can see it all now. Andrew Luck comes back to Houston to become Head Something Or The Other of the Houston Roughneck franchise. He becomes so popular, the Texans hire him and he becomes GM someday. The Texans kick ass and finally make it to the AFC Championship under Andrew Luck only to lose that game to the Colts, whose head coach by then is O'Brien.
new XFL team in houstonWho are the Houston Roughnecks?
I actually like that better than the whole Texans thing. Yes, it’s probably because I was a diehard Oilers fan.
Finally someone had some creative common sense for Houston.new XFL team in houston
You can seem them in all their minor league glory next spring at U of H's stadium. Which is actually a pretty nice college stadium.Finally someone had some creative common sense for Houston.
I swear I've been saying for at least ten years now that the Texans should totally scrap their team name, logo, and colors and start all over from scratch.
The Roughnecks is a fitting name which is even better than the Oilers was. Roughnecks are what they call the oilfield workers. Such a perfect name for any Texas football team.
Man, I say we scrap the whole lame ass Texans theme and roll with the Roughnecks. I like that logo as well other than the colors. Why would they use the same bullshit color scheme the Texans already have?You can seem them in all their minor league glory next spring at U of H's stadium.

I'm sure the XFL's marketing guys were on this a while back. Put an oil derrick on a helmet, call them Roughnecks (kinda sorta maybe like the Oilers) and use the Texans colors.Man, I say we scrap the whole lame ass Texans theme and roll with the Roughnecks.

I had season tickets to the Gamblers, and most of the time the Astrodome looked like it was about a 1/3 to half full. So people did bother themselves to show up, and because the crowd size was smaller, it was more enjoyable (to me) than going to a crowded Oilers game.Please refresh my memory. Back when the Gamblers played, IIRC, didn't last long, but did they have a good fan base? I recall that I really liked Jim Kelly, but I didn't go to any games and don't recall where they played or the average game attendance.
I am going to buy the stuff before it goes the way of Houston 1836 gear.Man, I say we scrap the whole lame ass Texans theme and roll with the Roughnecks. I like that logo as well other than the colors. Why would they use the same bullshit color scheme the Texans already have?
I agree, "Roughnecks" was actually one of the names that were in the running. I remember it being that, the Wildcats, Stallions and Texans. I think McNair had narrowed it down to the Stallions and Texans. McNair wasn't an oil guy so he had no intention of going with Roughnecks and I also remember people saying that opposing fans would be calling them "Rednecks".Man, I say we scrap the whole lame ass Texans theme and roll with the Roughnecks.

Yep, they did all they could to distance themselves from the Oilers and NFL history of Houston. That’s one reason why they never replaced the Oilers for me personally.I think at the time Roughnecks was to similar to Oilers and the ownership wanted a new "brand".
The Oilers, NOT the Titans in any shape or form, will always remain special to me. I lived and watched through the days of Pastorini, Earl Campbell and Warren Moon. And Dr. Doom. Double ought Burroughs. I loved those guys.Yep, they did all they could to distance themselves from the Oilers and NFL history of Houston.

Their new brand smells of dysfunction and looks amateurish. You may have seen it in stores. It’s called “Mediocre.”I think at the time Roughnecks was to similar to Oilers and the ownership wanted a new "brand".
Add corporate and bland to that.Their new brand smells of dysfunction and looks amateurish. You may have seen it in stores. It’s called “Mediocre.”
