Texans 2009 Preseason Schedule (Pre-Release News) [Official Update -vs.Vikes on MNF!]

[nunusguy]

Third game the one the starters play in for a 'half - 3 quarters and that being the MNF game with the Vikings it should hold some national interest not to
mention a pretty keen eye from Texan & Viking fans.

The Texans sound guy should have some helicopter sound effects ready for that one . I'm glad that that game is at home, but I kinda hate that it's monday night. Regular season Monday night game...I leave work early and come in late on Tuesday. Pre-season will just be a hassle.

With the roof closed all pre-season for fan comfort the times seem the same, although the roof policy is appropriate. Doubt it will be fun to tailgate on the 140 degree pavement. Pretty cool that we are seen as a place to have a Monday night game, vs just being another footnote on the crawler.

It will be fun to be the only NFL game on TV. I think that should get the players as jacked as possible for a pre-season game.

I dunno if this means it's ESPNs idea of a substitute for a regular season MNF game, or if history indicates we're likely to also have a regular season MNF
game after being selected for preseason, or if it means nothing at all one way or the other ?
