Where you at? How world wide is Texans fandom?

Born in Deer Park, lived in Alief, then Dallas, then San Diego, back to Dallas, then Phoenix (Tempe) and here since 2002. Most all my direct family still live in TX aside from service members bouncing around the globe…..

Born and raised in Spring Branch, traveled the world then came back to Pasadena and Deer Park. Moved to Conroe for about 25 years, Philippines for a year, back to Conroe for 6 or 7 then moved to College Station for the past 5. Houston sucks but it's home. Houston traffic sucks but it ain't got nothing on LA or Chicago or Manila. At least in Houston they have a good hwy system that makes sense and signs you can understand. Dallas and Austin suck bad!

I lived off Woodman road in Conroe when I was a kid. Good ole ‘80’s.

You must like the cold weather.

I've got a friend that lives in Idaho, it's beautiful in that part of the country until winter time.

Wintertime is beautiful too. We get snow. I'll take the cold over the heat and humidity down there. I have layers and a snow blower. I also have a place about 40 miles NW of Missoula, so almost in Idaho. Scorching summers and bitterly cold, snowy winters.

I was a US traveler, I was actually born in Houston then Illinois (Chicago), Iowa (Clinton), Illinois again (Morris), Iowa again (same city), Ohio (Cinci, Columbus), then all the way back to Houston to complete my round-trip.

lol, I do love snowmobiling up there though. They have one of the best trails in the country up in Mercer all the way up to Ironwood.

Moved my family to Humble Texas and now residing in Spring. I might as well say I live in West Texas because of the oilfield scheduling of 28 and 14.

No it isn’t Llanfair P.G., although I am currently spending a week nearby funnily enough, it’s only about half an hour away! I live in Conwy on the North Wales coast!

Is the any kind of get together planned by members to properly welcome you to Houston?
Click to expand...
I haven’t got anything planned with guys from the forum, but I would love to meet up with anyone who’d be up for it. I will be tailgating ahead of the Jags game with some of my Dad’s friends, I’ve got lots of things to do but we haven’t really begun to book things into specific days just yet, if there is a good place/time to meet up then we can get it arranged?!

Me and my partner arrive late on Thursday 9/26, and depart on Friday 4/10 if that helps out?

We should do a get together out at MoJo's in Atascosita.

There are quite a few posters that live in the area and a lot of the regulars live an hour or less from there. Seems like a good place to meetup.

You're retired you should lead the get together?

Sounds good. I’m still in the learning phase of good eateries in the area. If MoJo’s is good in your book, I’m pretty sure it would be good in mine. Does it have seating for a small to mid-size group? I guess we could start the planning and time this first get together with “Welsh Texans” time in Houston. I guess Saturday would be the best day since some folks are still working. I would also imagine that between lunch and early dinner would be best for seating purposes. Anyway, I’m in and would like to put faces with site names. Oh, would you guys like to include wives in the get together?

Wife is from Gillette. Daughter lives in Fort Collins so would like someplace between Cheyenne and Laramie around Curt Gowdy or over towards Medicine Bow. Don't know if I can handle going too far north!

Sounds good to me! Let’s get together and put some faces to names!
 
We live in the Commons and have been in Houston 36 years, but came from South Dakota where we have a ranch with brother as well so spend some time up there. Gonna watch the first two games from the Med and Canary Islands. Will be wearing Texans gear and proud to do so finally. Used to hang my head going out with Texans logo on me! Iterested to see how much Texans have caught on over here in Europe

When I lived in London (2013-2017) we would go to a lot of the NFL games at Wembley. It was a pretty cool affair because regardless of who was playing, you wore your team gear and pre-gamed with complete strangers bonded by fandom. Went with my neighbor one time who worked for Boeing and was a Seahawks fan. He found his people, I found mine and we met up a few hours later at our seats. Surprisingly, most of the Texans fans were Scottish because of their connection to the O&G industry in the North Sea. I had an honored seat and free pints because I was actually from Houston.

Yes it's got plenty of seating. Clean, good food, has domestic and craft beers.

We should get together and watch a Texans game when they're out of town one Sunday.
 
Spent my freshman year at Laramie. There was a caravan every weekend to Ft. Collins where we could drink 3.2 beer at 18.

Buy you a drink over a Texans game sometime!
Cheers neighbor! 😂

Sounds good neighbor! Ive gotta take a trip out that way (homestead is in San Antonio-Alamo Ranch area) when I get home off this rotation and check in on the next door neighbor. She was widowed a little while back and is getting up in age. Poor lady. One of the nicest pair of people Ive ever met and a drunk driver t-boned her husband and took his life way too soon.
 
A native Misourian here but I've been here in the Clear Lake City Multi-Plex, the first and original
multiplex of Texas, since my wife and I got married and bought our home here in CLC in 1989. It's called multiplex because there's parts of Houston proper, Webster, & unincorporated Harris county that comprise the Clear Lake City area. BTW any other area of Texas calls it self multiplex well it's plain and simple plagerism !
Anyway still a Chiefs fan but the Texans long ago replaced the Chiefs as my #1 team !
 
I admit, I've caught the bug. I've gotten to know Clint Stoerner and he has me hooked from the text thing he's doing. It's free if you want to try it. Gives insight and stuff, but the best thing ever was when he texted about the trip to the HoF game and some woman on the flight got so hammered she puked into her purse. It's mostly great analysis though, like Clint from the radio but more direct 1-1 with fans. https://joinsubtext.com/txclint

Man! Went to SBHS for a half year and moved to other parts of Houston. I know no more SBHS but, to find a stuffed polar bear in school was the experience for a kid from Japan.

You sound like you may be from the same area my wife was from. She lived in Memorial (went to Westchester). Can’t remember the street but it was a few houses away from a Catholic Seminary for nuns. Edit. Now I remember. Their house was on Kellywood just outside a gate to another house that was on that creek that ran through Memorial which I think was the headwaters of Buffalo Bayou? I think it came out of Barker Dam spillway and ran through Memorial.

Lol, I think we talked about this before but for a short time we lived in Spring Branch. After growing up in west Texas me and my brothers were totally tiny town animals that had no business being in Houston. That was back when the main route to downtown Houston from SB was down Memorial drive along the bayou. We loved to ride our bicycles to Addickes Dam out your way, stopping and swimming in cold, crystal clear rice well ponds along the way. Then we would ride along the top of the dam to the spillway. After spending time sliding down the spillway in that nasty ass water we would swim down the nasty ass creek below the spillway, under the I-10 bridge and back again. We would catch nasty ass catfish in that creek with grasshoppers then take our wild man nasty asses home the same route, often after the sun had set.

There is so much truth to this. Who can refute it, some gender neutral clothed punk still “finding”themselves gaming from their parent’s guest bedroom? Lololololol. We knew how to work and keep this country running. None of us EVER worried about getting the right tattoos and man buns and being “different” by doing what everybody else was doing. Even my best hippie friends in Houston started their own electrician company in Kerrville right out of High School and are comfortably retired. Why. Because they, us, just received the early love of Texan life and had the self confidence, honed from freedom from cell phones and social conventions to just work. My Dad’s best advice ever to his non conventional sons was don’t waste time thinking about what you want to do for a living. Just get a ******* job and watch how things will snowball. Edit. Lol, my first job was at a par 3 golf course on I-10 in Spring Branch, I think?? It was called Garrets Golf?? Anyway I donned a fricken army helmet and picked up golf balls on the driving range while a litany of assholes were whacking me with golf balls. Mom would put Deep Heat on my lumps at night. I hate golf to the core of my existence to this day….and Dad got this particular one wrong. It didn’t snowball.
