We need your help!
Okay, so there I am - a quarter `til midnight, hanging out in my backyard. I'm 17 yrs old, gas is a buck four, and cigarettes are a buck eighty a pack. I have nary a care in the world. Then out of nowhere, I see someone jump my fence. Getting ready to start chucking empty bottles, I realize it's a friend of mine. So at that point, I'm back to feeling copacetic, right - but not him... he had a dilemma. He needed me to get him out of a jam. For reasons that defy explanation, my friend needed to borrow a pair of underwear. See, he was set to see this chick that lived a street down from me and he didn't want to go over to her house wearing the same ones he had on the night before. So, I did what any good friend would do, I gave him a pair of my boxers and sent him on his way. Suffice to say he owes me one.
What's the point? Well, that kid grew up to be a graphic designer, and on the strength of our 15 year friendship has agreed to design a 10"x13" Battle Red Blog promotion poster that we can pass out at to local sports bars. In fact, I already have a green light from the owner and proprietor of Brother's Pizza and Sports Bar here in San Antonio. "Bring it in, and I'll hang it."
So we have a graphic artist, a place to advertise, and now we need your help. Battle Red Blog needs a slogan. See, anyone can design a badass poster with a fire breathing bull on it, but what is going to really set that image off is a catch phrase that sums up what Battle Red Blog is all about. That's where you come in.
Battle Red Blog was built by you for you - and now you have a chance to put your stamp on it. If your entry is chosen, we'll send you a Texans T-Shirt and give you the admin rights to edit or erase one account of your choice. Okay, okay, so I haven't cleared that second prize with Tim, but he can't stop me from sending you a T-Shirt in appreciation. So be witty, be creative, and submit your slogan ideas in the comments section below.
Thanks!
UPDATE: We got some really good slogan ideas over the past two months. Here are the five finalists, feel free to make additional suggestions in the comments below. Keep in mind that these are really slogan intros. The rest of the slogan will follow along the lines of BFD's suggestion of "BRB: Your home for Texans news and analysis..." The winner is still getting a T-Shirt and a maybe a beer koozie. Good luck and thanks for your help!

Am I wrong in thinking
Like clamslayer says "more Texans, less bull!" What about "More Texas less bull." Except you actually have MORE bull, i.e. in you logo. So, "More Texas, less cowboy"? Nah. They don't deserve a mention, not even in passing.
I'm just thinking you need to highlight the real difference in real and faux fandom, since that is a deeper link between Houston fans, as far as I have seen. At least if this is just a local thing you are talking about.
Am I way off base here?

I like it
Maybe Houston Texans fanatics, football addicts, fighters and wild bull writers?
If this actually sucks, it's because I haven't had any beer, and because I had to wake up early to work on a project for Law School.

Yes.
That would have won in a landslide… but I got keep the proprietors happy.
It still might make the poster – like in the form of a gold chain around the bulls neck.

Figured I should weigh in...
...for my one comment per quarter minimum. Hi, Shake.
Here are a couple of suggestions, as I’m not particularly enamored with any of the options on the ballot.
1. Battle Red Blog: A disturbing intersection of useless sports knowledge and alcoholism
2. If the cops ask, we were with you when Bud Adams was stabbed
3. If you don’t read Battle Red Blog, then F*CK YOU!!!
Tim, I bet we could get a poster displayed @ Stars in Katy.

Damn shame
Too bad you only pop up once every three months…
As far as your suggestions, they may not be the type of poster slogan I had in mind, but they would make awesome t-shirts. I’d rock one in a heartbeat. Hell, I might even scribble that last one on a wife-beater… Nothing says dedication to one’s hobby than sporting a kickass slogan on a tattered a-shirt.

Re: Figured I should weigh in...
All of those are genius (especially the last one, for the “Talladega Nights” parallel). I smell a koozie!
And yes—Stars, and a handful of other establishments around town that have supported my efforts to test the regenerative properties of the human liver, will be respectfully asked if they’d like a BRB banner.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Agreed
So we know that Jay has 2 verifiable skills…..heckling Bud & slogan writing.
We may need to change alcoholism to alcohol. I like the original better, but even the bars are getting more PC these days.

That’s not one of the choices.
Texans don't just love football, when a son is born in the state of Texas, before he gets home from the hospital, there's a footbal waiting in his crib.

I’ve heard a lot of Horn smack, but I hadn’t heard that one. Well done, Tom; never let it be said I can’t laugh at myself.
