Many thanks to the "real" bloggers, editors and overlords that are the heart and soul of BRB: Tim, BFD, Kerns, Rivers, TDC, MDC, tGC, Jake and DreKeem.

This place is my only island of consistent Texans input during the pleasant delusion known as "the offseason" and I really do appreciate the effort, knowledge and skill invested.

I appreciate the passion and the (for the most part) gentlemanly discussion that happens here and I hope that someday soon, we all can revel in a Lombardi Trophy with the Texans' name on it.

I hope that this next year brings us a Head Coach we can all be proud of, a Defensive Coordinator whose name dare not be whispered lightly, a space-eating nose-tackle, two shutdown corners and a real kick-ass safety.

You drunks faithful Texans fans be careful through the holidays and I hope that you and yours have a happy, healthy, prosperous and NFL-ically fulfilling 2011.

Yours with the long ears,

DilloTex
