Hi friends. I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to this season. Very stoked. Was stoked last year, stoked this year too.
This is my training camp preview from last July 12th:
Texans Training Camp Preview: Will Houston Turn the Corner in 2023
"The short summary: I am unreservedly enthusiastic about the football direction of the Houston Texans based on what I have seen and heard."
That's how it started. We saw how it ended.
Anyway, I have thoughts about the 2024 Texans. But I am coming back here--to the people who encouraged me to find out info and write for the paper back in 2006--to see what sorts of things you want me to talk about.
Like I have some ideas of what I want to write, but as long as I am doing it, I want to make it something you want to read. Give me topics you want me to crush. Some might go into a training camp preview, some I might write on separately in other posts.
Please put your thoughts here, or DM me if there is stuff you don't feel comfortable saying around friends and strangers.
As for what is happening in my Texans life:
1. I am planning on going to the Andre Johnson Pro Football Hall of Fame induction and hang out with tons of people who are football hardos like me on the topic of AJ. I promised myself I wouldn't go until Andre was in, and the timing is good. It is wrong that all the great guys that played for Houston are in the weirdo part of the hall, but what can you do when weirdos made decisions in the 90s about that stuff? I will be in Ohio from Tuesday to Monday. It's not too late to go, I published my PFHOF guide for the early planners. Would love to see y'all if you can make it because we lived through prime Andre putting the city on his back again and again.
2. I attended OTAs and Minicamp. Plan on being your eyes for Training Camp too. Man, I love seeing how DeMeco puts camp together. Such game-specific training and urgency, I love it. Sometimes after public days, we meet up at Taco Cabana on Main just to hang out and talk about whatever. Usually people @ me on Facebook or Twitter about meetup stuff like that.
3. Tailgate stuff. If you want to swing by our tailgate, we still doing. Platinum Lot (marked as blue on the light poles), front row, near the northeast corner. How is it? Well, each tailgate is different depending on who shows up. We eat good, we drink good, we share football joy. Hope y'all show. Some of you I haven't seen since the early early days.
4. Texans fan stuff. I am on the Texans Fan Council still, dabble in some Traveling Texans, though I would like to travel more. Think I am going to do the Dallas game along with a bunch of Texans.
5. My goal for 2024. Have as much football fun as I can possibly have with my pals. That's it. We deserve it. You are a part of making that happen. Sports isn't what happens to you, it is what happens with you, and I want to have a blast with all eras of Texans everywhere.
LFG,
Steph
