I am. Ill just be rooting for VY.
I root for the Texans every week, except for this week, I want VY to rub it in peoples face( those who never believed in him).
Besides, this season is over. You play to go to the playoffs, at least. Now its time to jockey for playoffs positioning. I want the Texans to get the best available player.

That makes no sense what so ever. So your going to turn your back on the other 52 players on this team, because of 1 player.
If it only takes 1 player to do that, might as well become a Titan's fan, because of 1 player.
This is exactly the mayweather fans that keep this city from being a great sports town.
Despite what people think about Dallas, they aren't as mayweather as people make them out to be.........I lived there for a little bit. They support all their teams very loyally.......unlike Houston. Houston is like a kid with ADD, if it can't keep their attention they don't give a rats ass. This whole city is field with unloyal mayweather fans.

Sorry bro but Xmas for my kids comes first. That stupid game paid for my Xbox 360. I bought season tickets. 3 of them. I've been to every game. I'm doing my part. Don't disparage me for taking advantage of a dumb market for this game. I take it the guys who are worried about blackouts don't attend games. I am supposed to be concerned about you? Sour grapes to me.
And I'll be rooting for the Texans to shut down VY.

Yes, Houston people suck as fans. Excuse us for wanting a winning product on the field and not making our city look like a joke. Yes, our faults. I mean, who wants to go to games to see their team lose, right?

Correct.... It was 'ol bitter Buds face last chance to stick it to his home-town one more time... And all the fairweather, jock strap carrying, VY fans are being manipulated by Bud.... To make matters worse, they are so blinded by their man crush on Vince that they don't even know that they are being manipulated as little pawns in Buds revenge plan..

I think there is a large amount of loyal fans in this city. Hell, its big enough. But its people like Kfranco who seem to voice there negative opinion louder than anyone else. These people are like a disease in this town. Its time for the loyalist to stand up against the fascist regime that infest our airwaves and chat rooms with their Vince Young propaganda. Heres to the Texans loyalists, real sports fans. The people who take pride in Houston sports. Stand up!
Read closer 'bro.'
I made the exception just in case there was holiday money involved and said "otherwise" it's pathetic.
You gave your opinion, I gave you mine. Selling out to Titans fans is not 'doing your part' imo..... and since you brought it up, I've been to every game at Reliant and several roadies.

Yeah turning your back on a team will really produce a winning product won't it.......damn that sure worked in the mid 90's didn't it.
Fans have absolutely no say on what player to take or decisions to make, despite if you think you do. You say you don't want to make our city look like a joke, yes your fault, let the nation see over half the stadium wearing Titan blue and THATS EXACTLY WHAT WE WILL BE.

None of us want the Texans to lose, but showing "your displeasure" by wearing another teams colors is not how you do that... You make yourself and this city look pathetic by what some may perceive as a temper tantrum.

This whole situation about Vince is really a referendum on the Texans and all the poor decisions they have made and a team that appears to have zero heart outside a player or two.
The Texans have been pretty much a joke all over the country, now it comes home!
This shouldn't be a surprise...
What is worse, following a team that can't even field a respectable team, much less a .500 record, or following a hometown hero that is a huge playmaker that brought the goods finally to the Longhorns and the State of Texas, and basically said take me because I want to play with the Texans because "I am a Houston Texan?"
The Houston Texans are bordering on becoming a pathetic organization with it's only upside being a really nice stadium.
Vince will probably become the biggest mistake they every made in the first 5 years in a long line of other mistakes.
This is a culmination of a lot stuff, the Vince issue has just put it over the top!

People think I hate the Texans because I love VY.
People think you hate the Texans because you've sold your soul with that avatar. I could understand (sorta') if you had lost one of those dumb avatar bets, but to make the decision on your own freewill....yikes....
BTW, I didn't give you any neg rep...it's not what I do...
HERE, HERE! I agree. Fanatics unite, this is the time our team needs us the most!
Are you really asking: What is worse, a football fanatic that sticks with his team through thick and thin, or a fairweather bandwagon fan who follows individuals over his team?
It's as simple of logic as that, my man. I hate the fact that the Texans are bottom-dwellers as much as the next guy, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to sell myself, my city, and my team out. Justify things however you want, but at the end of the day there is a reason why football fanatics and fair-weather fans have different definitions in the dictionary.

Adams has a better feel for personnel than McNair. No doubt about it. Adams wasn't so bad with his decisions about players. It was his decisions about everything else that was the problem. Now he's even gotten better at that with the retention of Jeff Fisher through the down years. Fisher is a very underrated head coach IMO. I kind of respect the way Adams plays hardball with players and agents. He's a curmudgeon if there ever was one.

Man all you people getting mad that we're gonna cheer for Vince can shove it. We're Texans fans too, we're still buying tickets to games. But Vince is our hero - Kubiak and McNair knew what they were doing when they passed on him, and now they get to see exactly what they missed. A city that LOVES a player for being so amazing. He defeated USC!!!

Really? Because I though fans pulled for their teams. If they cease to do so, they cease to be fans of that team. It all seems pretty simple to me.
I'd like to point out one thing to those Texans fans that might want to heap some ridicule and scorn on the people wearing Young jerseys at the game.
If possible, leave Young's mom, siblings, etc. out of the path of your wrath. It might be somewhat understandable were they to wear his jersey to the game. It also might be embarrassing if such boorish behavior ends up on the news.
I know we are talking foo'ball here, but we are also trying to have a civilization.

I believe VY better get his left and right tackles to bed by 10:00 Saturday night. If I was Mario Williams I would like very much to put VY out of the game in most unceremonious fashion. That is the matchup, not VY DC. We already know who wins that one based on the body of work. The match up is Mario against Young. It's going to be a good one. There could be a strange hush over the crowd this weekend. Mario's got something to prove too.

This is the NFL, do you really think they give a rats a## about what happened in college.
Do you think when Lienart goes to play at Oakland half the stadium is going to be wearing gold and red or Cardinal jersey's........hell no.......why, because despite their shortcomming, bad decision, and goofed decisions. They still support THE TEAM and are way better fans than us......way better.
If you want to support a player for being so amazing, wear a #59 jersey. This isn't the NCAA, this isn't Austin, this isn't the Rosebowl, its the NFL...for god sakes we're playing a divisional rival.
Cheer Vince all you want during the pregame announcements...I would
Once the game starts.....he's a Titan......he's the enemy. It doesn't matter how many times UT fans close their eyes and tap their shoes....he's not ever going to play here. It doesn't matter how many times UT fans hug their #10 jersey's and suck their thumbs.....he's not ever going to play here.
People need to grow up and get over it.

Don't talk to me about being a fan. I watch every texans game broadcasted and try to make it to as many of them as possible. I spend more time than is healthy trying to think up ways that the Texans could become a solid ball club. You have no right to try to judge me as a fan.
Besides, I'm a longhorn first. I was at every game Vince ever played in at UT. My friends and I had a draft party planned praying that the Texans would take VY. It didn't turn out. I like Mario. I just like VY more.
And don't get sarcastic with me about the talents of Vince vs the rest of the team concerning the win over USC. No bs you can spew to me over a msg board will take away the feeling I had when my underdog college team beat the team ESPN was heralding as "the best ever". For the rest of my life I will be a Vince Young fan, deal with it.

Then why not visit there message board first. Watch tape of the UT this weekend and skip the game. If you want Vince to do well and cheer him when he does you are rooting for the Titans and against the Texans. You can be a VY fan all you want but you can only hope 1 team wins and 1 team loses,which will it be?

That's pretty much the topic of this thread, actually.
That doesn't necessarily make you a fan. Sticking with your team through thick and thin makes you a fan. Choosing which games to pull for a team makes you a bandwagon fan, at best.
It's not about rights. Everyone on this board has the freedom to express their opinions, even as it relates to your status as a fan. Sorry, that's just how it is.
So you're a fan of UT and VY. That's cool. That's where your true allegiance lies, evidently. Now that you've admitted it, we all know where you stand. That just doesn't qualify as anything better than a bandwagon Texans fan. Fans don't cherry pick which games they're going to pull for their team.

Once I'm here I'm able to take off the burnt orange and put on the steel blue.
Theres no crow to eat......although I do hope for the sake of this team the Texans make all those idiots in the stand eat crow Sunday, the other half of the idiots (Bush backers) have already had their fill.

For the record, there wasn't a time all year that we didn't punch it in from within the 10 yardline. It matters not.
The play that truely changed the game was the interception by Griffin (not the endzone play - although that was by far the most beautiful play I've seen in football) where he had the pick landed with control and the ground caused him to lose it. Thats a pick yo

Whats wrong with you? Ofcourse that makes me a fan. The Texans knew this situation would happen and accepted it. Maybe you should get with the times? For you to expect me to turn my back on Vince is straight up selfish. And to think, all of this is so that the texans get some respect for being a feared city to play in, which will help stroke your ego a bit. How sad.
