Update: BRB Tailgate For Monday Night Football (11/23/09)

Judging from the response to the initial call to action, the inaugural BRB Tailgate just might happen. The details:

DATE: Monday, November 23, 2009.
TIME: 4 p.m. CST.
WHERE: Orange Lot of Reliant Stadium.
WHAT TO BRING: Food and Drink.

The purpose of this post is to gauge who can bring various tailgating essentials--coolers, ice, chairs, grill, tent (if anyone has one), etc. Many of us are going to be parking in another lot and walking over to the Orange Lot, and lugging that sort of stuff through Reliant Park isn't very practical. What would be ideal, of course, is for those attendees who are planning on parking in the Orange Lot to step up and volunteer to bring that stuff. If you've got an Orange Lot pass and are up for contributing to the cause in the form of cooler space, ice, chairs, and the like, please commit in the Comments below.

An additional question for the Orange Lot parkers...what time can you arrive? If we're aiming for the area targeted in Texans-Brocos' map(s), we're going to have to have several vehicles lined up and ready to go when the lot opens (presumably at 3:30 p.m.). Is anyone up for that? If not, we'll simply have to grab whatever space we can when enough of our vehicles arrive.

Any other issues or concerns? Raise 'em in the Comments.

Open Game Day Thread: Houston v. Bye Week

Just because there's no opponent this week doesn't mean we can't have an open thread for the rest of the NFL action. Leave your observations and theories on the matchups involving teams not from Houston as you see fit in the Comments below.

BRB Tailgate For Monday Night Football (11/23/09)

If possible, I'd like to figure out a way for any interested parties to meet up at Reliant before Bud Adams' minions take on your Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. I know that a few out-of-towners (e.g., Jake and MDC, to name a couple) are scheduled to be in attendance for MNF, and several more of us locals will be there as well. In other words, let's tailgate if we can pull it off. The relevant details:

DATE: November 23, 2009.
TIME: Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m., and the parking lots generally open four (4) hours before kickoff. Therefore, let's tentatively say 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
WHERE: A parking lot to be determined at Reliant Stadium. Orange Lot.
WHAT TO BRING: Whatever you want to eat or drink.

As you can see, there's a whole lot that's up in the air. What I'd like everyone to do in the Comments below is (1) let me know if this is something you'd be interested in; (2) let me know if you're planning on attending the game or at least wandering around the parking lots of Reliant Stadium; (3) let me if you've got an existing tailgate on which you'd volunteer to allow us to piggyback (again--it's going to be bring your own food and booze, so the hope is that the only burden an existing tailgate would have to bear is the additional bodies); and/or (4) in the absence of an existing tailgate, let me know if you've got a preferred parking lot for us to meet up.

If this thing gets off the ground, I'll post updates as the specifics begin to take shape. What say the masses?

Open Game Day Thread: Houston v. Indianapolis

Finally, after a rather busy week of exchanges with Colts fans (when and where it was permitted, that is), it's here. Your Houston Texans head to Indianpolis in search of the first win in franchise history within the Hoosier State. The odds and Peyton Manning are against them, but we should find out much more about how the Texans stack up against the best of the best today. Let's see what we shall see.

As always, leave your pre-game, in-game, and post-game ruminations and meditations in the Comments below. GO TEXANS!

Anybody else need a defibrillator after this one?  Goodness.

Open Game Day Thread: San Francisco v. Houston

Does the lose-win-lose-win streak end today at Reliant Stadium against the 49ers? An actual winning streak sure would be nice. I'm no expert, but I think a team hoping to post a winning record is going to have to put together at least one winning streak at some point during the year.

Leave your pre-game, in-game, and post-game calculations and cries out to the heavens in the Comments below. GO TEXANS!

Yes, we're leading by 11, but now is not the time to go into a prevent offense. Finish, Texans. Finish.
