PrintAs always, I'll preface this post with a link to an explanation if you need it.
Your Houston Texans travel to Oakland this week to take on the Raiders, so no one's going to be watching at Reliant. Plus, we're treated to another late afternoon (3:05 p.m. CDT) start, which is always sweet.
Where will you and yours be watching the Texans attempt to go 3-1?

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
I’ll be at the game. I really want to wear my Battle Red Mario jersey, but my buddy that lives out there says I will probably get stabbed. We’ll see what happens.

That Is Strong
Hope you have a helluva time.
I was thinking about that the other day. Would a Texans fan really get the crap kicked out of him for wearing Texans gear there? I mean, it’s not like we’re the Broncos…well, check that.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

I went there with my brother-in-law who's a diehard Raiders fan
and had a great time. Raider fan isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be, lots of Oakland professional types. But it probably helped that I was with a few Raiders fans.
I think your right...
I don’t get excited about beating them, but I damn sure don’t wanna lose to them.
GO TEXANS!!!!
Our time will come...

I wanted to be there...
I almost bought a quick flight up the coast and a ticket for this game as well. My wife has us going to Vegas for Texas/OU weekend, so Oakland is out of the question. Have fun and stay safe up there – cheer when necessary and don’t talk crap.
Watching the 1st Quarter
from the dressing room at the Wedding Venue. After that, I won’t even know what happened until someone tells me the final score. But like I said, I’m not accepting a loss on the day of my Wedding. Let’s get it done, fellas! 3-1!

poor job of scheduling though….

Yeah, people are like "Why would you schedule it during the season!?!?!"
And there are many answers to that question.
1) The venue were getting Married at is seriously about half the price on a Sunday than a Saturday.
2) We had to pick the date to reserve the venue before the NFL schedule was released.
3) You don’t argue with an Irish Redhead chick when it comes to things pertaining to a Wedding…because they WILL kill you.
Agreed on all accounts
You just don’t fuck with women when it comes to their weddings. Society has placed far too much importance and pressure around the event for you to take any chances with her mental, and your physical, well being.

Got married last December
that was actually the easy part since we only had immediate family and did it in my parents backyard. The reception we threw 3 months later was a whole other story. I made the mistake/brilliant decision(really not sure) that I didn’t want a long engagement(I proposed on our 5th anniversary, figured there was no doubt), so I wanted to get married asap, and promised we would do a big wedding later. Then we decided to skip the big wedding, but where informed we know had to do the reception asap or no one would give a shit. Woops.

Sounds messy
We’re going the big honeymoon later. Didn’t want to take a gamble on going to the Caribbean during Hurricane season, so we’re just going to Galveston for a few days and waiting until next June to do The Bahamas.
I understand too.
How long are you planning on being married? And how many football Sundays will that include?
You seriously do not want to do anything that messes with The Wedding. I managed to (first and only time) fall down the stairs the week before my wedding. I found myself lying at the bottom of the stairs (all wood) in incredibly pain just giggling because I could tell nothing was broken and I hadn’t hurt my face.
Next day my (now) wife noticed me limping a bit. I tried to evade questions about it, but no use. I told her what happened. Sympathy? No. I was told that it was really fortunate I hadn’t broken a bone, or scarred my face, because in such a case I really might as well have died, because I’d only be briefly postponing being killed anyway.
Subsequent injuries after The Big Day have met with more reassuring responses.

LOL!!!
Great story.
Yeah, I was REALLY sick last week and did she offer to take care of me? Hell no. All I was told was that I had BETTER get past it before the 3rd or she’d Marry someone else.
I was like “Love you too, babe.”
Well, maybe it helps to know you're not alone.
Congratulations to you, by the way!

When I get back, I’ll actually start contributing over on TDS again. So tell Tom not to remove me from the list yet…
sorry to hear you not watching the game.
Anyways congrats on the marriage. Enjoy your night and pretty sure you don’t have to worry about the Texans they will send you a good wedding present in a win.
Congratulations Kerns!
May the weather be fair and the day be perfect!

in the good ol' USA this time
Last week I was in Italy, but luckily NFL.com was offering free one week trial of Game-Pass. So in leiu of finding a sports bar I got to watch it on my laptop in the hotel after dinner. Unfortunately I got it running just in time to see us implode after getting a 1st and goal on the 1. How sad is it that after I saw we didn’t get into the endzone on the prior play, I immediately got nervous about us botching the next series of downs like we’ve done so many times before?
I'm working for this one....
I just don’t like when they play the Raiders for some reason. I will have tvs on and I will check up on them, but not sitting in front of my Tv with a beer……unless I get cancelled of course.
GO TEXANS!!!!
Our time will come...
If it wins it usually means little
but if we lose it means we suck

I really hate Gus Johnson. It’s nothing personal, and I don’t think there is nothing wrong with getting excited while doing play by play, but this guy takes it to the extreme. Half the time he is so excited I can’t even understand his call. I’d rather just put on the radio and mute the TV than to hear him.

I'm be getting home from work to watch it
Thank Durga for 3:15p Texans games
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed.
Ill be back in Omaha
at DJs dugout for the final Sunday before I leave the states for 6 months.
I wonder where BRB Husker watches the games
"How bout that ride in. I guess that's why they call it sin city."
I'll be driving back in to Houston Sunday morning.
Might just go straight to a bar once I get in town. I’m afraid their might be some bad gris gris left over in my usual chair at the house from last weekend. I am just entirely too busy to sacrifice any virgins this week.

off topic but o well
FS Eugene Wilson (hamstring) missed practice today. If he can’t play Sunday, Kubiak said Dom Barber and Troy Nolan both would replace him
It's already been announced (the link's on the front page)
that Barber is starting for Wilson on Sunday.
Dunno about this Nolan thing though…would hope he sees some field time.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I'll be at one of to places
Either at my buddys house (who thanks to me is an avid texans fan) praising durga for a win while drowning in whatever beer we can get our hands on
or
at home watching with my family
regardless it needs to be sunday aready
GO TEXANS Beledat
I shall be @ my usual haunt
Lisa if you come up this weekend lemme know i will give you my number we can watch it together

i love being out at the stadium, but i got the gayest tan line EVER. i wear the texans visor and my shades, so i look like a raccoon… that wore a headband.
at any rate, i’m guaranteeing a win, i’ll have my cinnammon rolls and my lucky towel, and plus i’m able to feed em’ positive vibes thru the TV.
don’t knock it…
IT WORKS.

Redzone bar in San Diego
I made a bet with a waitress there (cowgirl fan). I now have to wear her Cowboys jersey next sunday. At least its not pink, but prob the size of a fucking barbie doll though. Can I call in sick?
I’m trying to think of the sloppiest thing to eat there. Chilli, Hotdog with LOTS of mustard, few shots of Jaegar? Any ideas of shit I can spill all over this fuckin jersey while I’m wearing it? Its going to be a fucking mess when I’m done with it!!!! IDEAS???
I play real sports...Not try to be the best at exercising.
One time, this really hot chick I dated
was a cowturds fan. She refused to take the jersey off so I nutted on it. Was the only time she ever refused to take the jersey off. Was an Emmit Smith one too.
No, this has absolutely nothing to do with your current plight. Unless you want to use a stall in the restroom or something.

According to the local TV managers anyway.
Last season in fact, the last game of the season; it had playoff implications for the Texans as we all remember, win we have a chance (albeit a very small chance, but a chance none the less mind you) and what does the local affiliate show….bronco’s vs who the fuck cared because it had absolutely no playoff implications for either team.
GAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! I almost called the TV station to give them a piece of my mind…..until I realized I didn’t have a piece I could spare.
Just my $.02

once you get north of Lubbock this is Denver fan country or something. There is only 1 count it 1 Denver fan here where I work and we employ over 1,000 people.

No problem
I figured the entire state of Texas would get the only game involving a Texas team, but apparently not.
"Lord, beer me strength."
The work scheduling gods have spoken.....
and I now have Sundays off, at least through the month of October. I was going to come down and tailgate with some of you until I read the other post by southpaw about how peeps without tickets will no longer be admitted to the parking lots. That well and truly sucks for me.
I will probably watch from the comfort of the sofa.

Well of course I live in the hater city of Dallas, and for their “local” games this week they will be showing…
Redskins vs. Eagles…
Steelers vs. Ravens…
Panthers vs. Saints…
But of course the TEXANS aren’t local. Haters.
Unless somebody has a good website that shows the games online. I will be stuck watching stat updates.
Another reason I look forward to Cowboys Texans games is they have to show the game!

Head to a sports bar
There were about 20 Texans fans watching the Houston @ Washington game at the McKinney Avenue Tavern in Uptown a couple of weeks ago. Near the end of the game, the 5 skins fans had left and the entire bar was rooting for us.
I’ve also never had a problem watching Texans games at Frankie’s or Christie’s.

Got some fellow Texan fans up here I might go somewhere. No Cowboys game this weekend so it shouldn’t be too crazy, although I’m sure I will still have to deal with some obnoxious ones on a high from there one win last week.

Hey Tim
Didn’t you say you knew the proprietor of Stars Sports Bar in Katy? Is that the Texans designated watch party in town? I usually go to Sherlock’s and that seems to be a FF hangout.

Re: Stars
I know one of the owners of Stars, yes, through a buddy of mine. Not sure if there’s necessarily a designated spot in Katy, but I do know that Stars has had a good Texans crowd and good drink/food prices the few times I’ve been on game days.

Currently in an argument
So I am currently in an argument with a friend who is a Cowboy fan, about the NFL zoning for games. He was like its not Dallas’ fault that we can’t watch the Texans game we don’t do the zoning. But if you look at the zoning that TexansDC posted clearly whoever does the zoning assumes that Dallas and Oklahoma are the same. I pointed that out to him… think I pissed him off a little :) He is a HUGE Texas fan lol.

Either at home or my sister's
Me and my brother in law are the only Texans fans in the family so we usually try to hang out and watch the games
twin peaks 45 south near nasa road one.
watched the Dallas game there. Food great, service great. Place is like Hooters but much better food wise and atmosphere wise. Waitresses very friendly. They sit and talk with you as their schedule allows.
Well, since I said last week
If the Texans lost, I’d be in an institution, and they did (dammit!) so today I will initially be watching from padded rumpus room of the Sam Kinison Memorial Insane Asylum where their motto is: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
However, I will escape and return to The Spot. The beer is better and I can’t get nachos in the asylum, on account of the sharp, pointy edges of the tortilla chips.
Houston Texans...forcing me to question my sanity and endangering my marriage since 2002.
