Yeah man I really miss those blue end zones!!!:highfive:

Someone on this board a few weeks ago said that they were testing new paint that wouldn't kill the grass...so we might see them again soon!
 
It would be awesome to see the blue endzones, it wouldnt hurt to put Houston on one end zone, and Texans on the other
 
Wow!! I didn't think I would get past #13 and #14 without shedding a tear or two! I still have Billy Miller as my avitar, in honor of his first TD for our Texans!! I went to Canton that year and remember very well that awesome feeling when our Texans took the field for the very first time. Very emotional, I can tell you that much for sure. When he made that TD against the "girls" in our first regular season game, I became a Billy Miller fan for life. I wish him well in whatever path he is following now. He helped make TEXAN history, and I appreciate him for that!!

Great Moment #18: I have to tell you, I get chills every time I see this. This of coarse is the greatest moment in Texans history. It's simply known as 19-10.

This is part one of a series of clips from that night. The first is the opening drive ending in Billy Miller's touchdown. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!!" Enjoy!

Sept 8 2002: Texans-Cowboys - Pregame, first drive, Billy Miller TD.
Since I can't give you rep, I'll tip my hat to you.
 
If this doesn't put a smile on your face, nothing will. :yahoo: Thank you Swisher - this is the best way to spend an offseason.:perfect10:
 
Swisher!! You are my HERO!! THANKS!!! I found myself wanting to jump up and down in my living room when I saw that clip!! Geeezzzz, I miss Billy Miller!!!

Great Moment #8: Ok, lets just call this one a moment. On February 18, 2002 the Texans held their Expansion Draft and selected Tony Boselli #1. It was a great moment at the time, and a big step forward for the new franchise. This is live coverage from the GRB on ESPN. Too bad things didn't work out as planned....and how ironic it is to listen to the announcers talk about how good our offensive line is going to be. *sigh*

February 18, 2002: The Texans take Boselli #1 in the Expansion Draft

From Jaws in this clip: "There is depth not only at Tony Bosseli's position but at the offensive line in general. If your a quarterback or running back and you come to this Houston Texans franchise, you will have some beef in front of you. You're gonna have protection as a quarterback and room to run as a running back."

WOW. Just amazing.
 
EVERYONE ALL TOGETHER NOW...SWISHER YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!! I remember that like it was yesterday...I was talking crap to a bunch of Cowboy fans in Kingsville that night.:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Good catch, that had me laughing for a minute or two.
 
Man, I love these clips. But I seriously dislike it when Mike Patrick says the "Texas" offense, or the "Texas" instead of Texans. I know Al Michaels was guilty of this in the HOF game against the Giants as well. Other play-by-play guys have done this over the years too. :challenge

Funny what happens when you judge things at the time and not in hindsight. Boselli passes the physical, Willie Roaf doesn't, so we take Boselli and we get two more players we wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

Lots of "if onlys" in the world.

Honestly, the only thing missing is the call from the radio. This is greatness, with or without it.
You can get the free NFL field pass with the archived radio calls right now...I've been listening to last season's games all off-season instead of the radio at times. At times I pop in the video and follow along.

Ouch. I'm not that dedicated.
 
I'm such a junkie. :francis: I listen to the opposing radio call on some of the games as well. Interesting how different they are at times.

Yeah, I was in Alabama on buisness on '04 when the Texans went to the Titans and won and let me tell you that was one of the most homer called games I had ever heard. We might think that some of the stuff we hear is kind of :homer: but we are not even close. For a large magority our broadcast is just slightly slanted which IMO is good.
 
Interesting to watch those clips from the 1st game and see some things missing from last year--a fire across the board. Exs. Corey Bradford stiffarming the DB and just running him over. Marcus Coleman laying wood and all the DB's jumping balls.
 
I thought it was kinda funny that on the first clip of the Dallas game. Onthe first play when Carr threw deep to Bradford and got the pass interference call. When they show the replay one of the announcers makes the comment about Carr had all day to throw and how good the offensive line is or something along those lines. And the only thing I could think was if they only knew.

But over all this is an amazing thread. Thanks Swisher.

My two greatest moments in texans history is:
1) Beating the Dallas Cowboys
2) Not taking Reggie Bush.
Now my #1 Team owns Reggie. Thanks Texans front office.:yahoo:


Too bad the saints still won't be able to win, even with 80 mil in the backfield.
 
Ooo lordy was that two of the worst looking teams I have seen fielded in Texas in a long time... yikes.

The Quincy Carter Experiment

Also did I hear Joe say the Dallas line averages out at 350 pounds? Dang that's pretty heavy.

Classic Texans' Moment:

Chris Palmer doesn't need a QB coach... sure he doesn't Joe says. Joe says look at what great work he has done with Rob Johnson, Couch, Brunell, and Bledsoe after stammering. Of course he doesn't need one. Carr then unloads the bomb to a wide open Lewis... that drops it. Followed then by a 12 men in the huddle,"flag,flag,flag"... penalty. 3rd and 15 now, that finishes up with Joe saying Lewis, "will make a lot more great catches for David Carr. I promise you."

classic.

I think I need another drink.

EDIT:

I am thinking calling that a drop is a bit too much... it just looks like he missed it completely.

Also looks like Joe's super genius Nostradomus-like powers are really not that shabby. Lewis did go on to make one more 65 yard TD catch the following year... for the Jaguars.
 
Are we gonna finish the Cowgirl game or what? ... I need to see QC layin in the wrong endzone with GWalker & SPayne on top of him.

Thanks for the links. How in the hell did Jermaine Lewis drop that pass at the end of the 2nd quarter.
