Friday's Poll: Which Division Rival Grinds Your Gears The Most?

With Bud Adams & Co. on tap for the Texans' AFC South division opener in a couple days, I figure it'd be a fine time to ask the great mass of BRB: Which AFC South opponent--Colts, Jaguars, or Titans--do you harbor the most ill will for?
Is it the Colts, on account of their maddening habit of sitting atop the division nearly every year? And there was that whole Rosencopter thing they were involved in...
Is it the Jags, on account of the chippy play that tends to mark every game the Texans have with them? There's the added bonus of being able to call Texans-Jags a true rivalry, considering Jacksonville doesn't sport a winning percentage of .900 or better against the good guys.
Or is it the Titans, on account of everything that Bud Adams and his ilk have done since the mid-90s?
Vote in the poll below and elaborate on your reasons why in the Comments below.

Anyone who votes for anything but the Titans
is a secret hillbilly and a communist.

Funny you should bring up Pa
If you really think about it, history is just coming full circle. Your town is named after a Tennessean, oh come on, I know y’all knew that Sam Houston was the former Governor of Tennessee. Tennesseans also comprised one of if not the largest groups of people at the Alamo.
The Oilers/Titans coming to Tennessee was just really our boys coming home. It’s not surprising that we have continued to own that ass ever since.

Yes
all the intelligent tenesseans left hillbilly country. The end result is your current state.
Oh, and your “book learnins” continue to impress me. It’s just so admirable that you were able to overcome your circumstances and learn some basic historical facts. Well done, Mr. Oden. You truly are an inspiration to the state of Tennessee..

Why am I not surprised.
And I think its hard for Titans fan to understand what it was like for Houstonians when the Oilers left. I grew up watching every Oilers game I could, and if blacked out would listen with dad on the radio. When your a kid you don’t care if your team sucks, you love them anyway, and each player is a pro bowler in your eyes. And I hold a grudge against Bud Adams still, and dislike his team, if thats wrong I don’t wanna be right.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

My hatred for the BESFs is deep...
but it pales in comparison to my all-consuming loathing of Peyton Manning. I have hated him with every fiber of my being for almost 13 years. If I could make one professional athlete have a leg literally fall off during a game, it would be him. There is no bad thing that I don’t wish would happen to Peyton. Twice.
Yay, sports.

All of which is to say
I voted for the Colts. But I don’t expect less than 85% of votes to be for the BESFs.
Yay, sports.

Titans
I’m surrounded by their fans here in Mempho, and they’re on every freakin week.
Upside is I get this weeks game in crystal clear high definition!
Jeff Fischer is not a bad dude, but the dude who signs his checks and I don’t really get along.
Smushiak will take us to the playoffs in 2009.

Titans
I heard an interview with Chris Johnson today, and Ross Tucker just cut him off because it was such a terrible interview. He may have been blessed with speed, but not so with much intelligence. He and LenDale White are who I think of when I think of the Titans.
I don’t share Matt’s extreme hate of Peyton Manning, and I really like Maurice Jones-Drew. That leaves the BESF’s.
You know... for kids.

I liked Maurice Jones-Drew at UCLA and coming out of college, but he is so annoying on the field. Every 5 seconds he is literally walking around flexing.

well
I’m certainly glad I’m not the only one who went with the Colts

oilers...
My life literally change when the oilers left. I was such a fan in my early 20’s and tickets were cheap enough to go to games regularly and then Poof no team.
I’m emotionaly committed to the Texans because of those years without a team, that I think if they left I would follow.
I HATE ME SOME OILERS!
GO TEXANS!!!!
This is the year.......

Whoever the Texans are playing that week!
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
