Texans Fans Are Somewhat Satisfied With How Things Are Going

According to a recent study from ESPN, we're growing increasingly happy with our team. You knew that, of course; ESPN just attempted to quantify it. And did they ever--the first non-losing season in franchise history saw our perception of Texans fandom skyrocket from melancholy (No. 96 in last year's rankings) to mere mild depression (No. 56 this year).

Aside from the brilliant and witty observations of the fan they interviewed for the piece, any thoughts? Personally, I'd like to think I'm happier about my team than, say, a fan of the Charlotte Bobcats (No. 47) or the Kansas City Royals (No. 51), but maybe that's just a testament to my cheery personality. Or the effectiveness of my various medications. One of those two for sure.

Seriously, man, you need to learn to blow your own horn (sic) a little better:

“There’s no denying Reliant Stadium’s charm and general awesomeness. Because the arena is built on a vertical slope, the seats virtually hover above the action, and the overhanging retractable roof makes for deafening acoustics. “Bob McNair created the stadium with the fans in mind,” says Tim McHale, a blogger for Battle Red Blog. “Tons of food and drink options, ample restrooms and a club level so elaborate (flat-screen every few feet, tons of bars, etc.), many people forget to get to their seats in time for kickoff.” With management actively responsive to surveys and focus groups, the Texans bend over backward to please fans, even if the team—no playoff appearance in its six-year history—can’t. Of course, all that extra-special attention comes with a price: $62.41 average ticket price, $5 dogs and $6 brews. “Best way to get around that is with tailgating,” says McHale. “Oh, and flasks. Those help too.” Especially if you’re watching the team. – Morty Ain”

Can I touch you? No, not there.

Timmeh!

Way to represent bro. If you were a baseball player, that interview would have been an ‘in the park homerun’ where you hustle down the line and take the catcher out at the plate. Freakin’ awesome.

Nice

Way to represent the fan-base Tim.

So you're saying that now I have to think of some witty Sig that will be applicable across all the SBN sites? Go TexanHornStros!

An Era Of Detente With ESPN?

Tim, it looks as though you have made peace with the hostile, ignorant apparatchiks of ESPN. There isn’t even one gratuitous disparaging remark about the Texans.
