Will another Texans game be shown in Austin this year?

Try 101K. :kitten:

You can hate on college ball all you want, and that's fine. Fact is that more people in Austin would watch a former star over the NFL team 150 miles away.

You're having a major disconnect with reality on alot of your arguments here.

On the one I first responded to, I shot down your whole thing about the Hoot's vs. Cowboys as far as ratings. That cannot happen due to the AFC/NFC difference on FOX as a network.

And I guarantee you that if Rudy and his jockstrap moved to an NFC team (therefore FOX where the Cowboys play) there would be ABSOLUTELY NO DEBATE THAT THE COWBOYS WOULD BE ON TV OVER WHICHEVER TEAM RUDY AND HIS BELOVED JOCKSTRSAP WENT TO. :bubbles:

This is because at this point, the smart fans and fans that may have moved here from reality (a.k.a. anywhere outside of Austin) will recognize that college was played yesterday on saturday, now it's time for the big boys to play.

The part I highlighted you should take into consideration too. He is a FORMER star. He's no longer in college and is definitely, at least for now, not a star in the NFL. So, the RUDY Oil Rub and bed set needs to go back in the closet for now.:truck:

As far as college fans vs. pro fans, I think that's up for debate personally. Yes, there are a ton of rabid college fans....GOD love 'em all too. But, let's face it, outside of maybe 15 or so schools, there is a huge drop off on loyal, drooling, dedicated fans. Please don't try to sell anyone on all 119 teams in Div 1 NCAA ball are hardcore about teams like North Texas, San Jose State, etc. On the other hand, you have 32 teams, with 32 cities and more than likely therefore 28 states or so that are dedicated to PRO football.

Riddle me this. Every major sport, even college ones and semi pro ones have what one thing in common?

*DING DING DING* PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!

What does college football NOT have??

*DING DING DING * PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!

Did you hear that the BCS actually hired Ari Fleisher (spelling....no I'm not looking it up./..) the former G.W. Bush spokesperson to be their spin miester on why the BCS is good for you comrade? LOL. What a joke. All politics aside....what a friggin' joke. The whole nation hates that damn thing.:headhurts:

The bottom line is that all other cities in the country see "regional" broadcasting of NFL games. This is not something out of the ordinary. I know yall think Austin is special. But, just because Austinites love wearing their berrets while they sip lattes at galaxy cafe blogging on their iBooks planning their next ride on their 20 speed bike in busy traffic in their full "Discovery Team" suit, doesn't mean this city really IS special. As far as CBS goes, now that the scheduling cannot be dictated by some random douche who just wants to "sniff" the old times and put Rudy on TV here, it looks like REALITY will finally hit Austin which I think is the root of alot of this tension.:bubbles:

NFL has blackout rules. The bigger the stadium, the less likely the game will be sold out and the less likely it will be televised within a 90 mile radius. They don't want them too big.

Ok..I forgot about that because we just don't have blackouts here. Thanks.

I dont think you guys can comprehend the fact that some people would rather root for a person over a piece of clothing.

Thank god that most of Austin feel this way.

Most in Austin don't feel that way and are mostly like me. They do root for clothing and it is burnt orange and white. I root for clothing on Saturdays and Sundays. If a player changes to clothing that I don't like I stop rooting for him.

Now if you are against clothing and are turned on by a player without clothing, well then to each his own. Watching a bunch of nude guys running around does nothing for me. I am sure you would have done anything to be at this party ...

They haven't exactly shown their brain cells this last week. Did you know if it weren't for Tennessee volunteers we might have LOST at the Alamo??

LOL, I missed that. Who posted that?

When I was in South Carolina some Tennessee guy was bragging about how Texas was mainly settled by and founded by Tennesseans. He started talking about how brave they were fighting Indians, Mexicans, etc.

I told him that I was aware of all of that as those were my ancestors. My family migrated from Tennessee in the early 1800's and became Texans. However I reminded him since he was still living in Tennessee his ancestors must have been cowards that stayed behind and remained Tennesseans. He wasn't too witty and didn't have a come back for that.
