Rival
I know our franchise is only a few years old, but what makes sports great is having a rival. Who do y'all consider to be our rival? The Cowboys because they are from Dallas? The Titans because they are the old Oilers? The Jaguars because they are in our division and we can actually beat them? I know none of these teams will reciprocate the feeling, but what do y'all feel?

Hatred
The NFL is a bit different for me, because I have so much hate for so many different people and organizations. I will always despise Bud Adams, but I find it impossible to hate the Titans anymore because of VY's presence there.
I definitely don't like the Jags, and they're probably our truest rival in the sense of a divisional opponent that brings out the best in you.
When it comes to a true, gut-wrenching, rage-inducing opponent, however, there's nobody like Dallas. I abhor everything about them, from their owner to their fans (not the true fans that stuck with the team through 1-15 in 1989, mind you; it's the bandwagon frontrunners that I can't handle). So Dallas gets my vote, though you're totally right in that it's a one-way street. The Texans haven't done enough to warrant any sort of heat with anyone, save maybe Jacksonville.

Fun with Synonyms
Longhorns:Aggies = Texans:Titans
Is it accurate? I don't know...but it has been a long, long time since I took the SAT.

hmm
Longhorns:Sooners::Texans:Cowboys
I'd agree with this first one.
The second one however, not so much. I don't think of the Titans as little brother they way I do the Ags. While Aggies constantly try to prove they are as good as the Horns, even if its just to get attention, I don't feel that the Titans do the same. I don't know if there is an analogy to be made between Texans and Titans.

My take
That said, I voted for the Cowboys. I'll always hate them.

Hate vs. Apathy
1. He took the Oilers and 2. He has Vince.
Also, I hate the Cowboys for a couple reasons-
1. They won a lot of games during the 90's and were very smug about it and 2. Terrell Owens/Jerry Jones.
Now, aside from those two teams, I couldn't personally give a shit about any of the other teams. But I think that the team I absolutely care the least about is the Arizona Cardinals. I probably wouldn't get upset if a meteor hit their practice facility and killed the entire franchise. No biggie. We'll just contract a team and move on. Is that worse than hate?

Funny? -- Hell yes.
