For those attending and tailgating...Preliminary report is the roof will be closed, 60% chance of precipitation, per houstontexans.com.

Hope the rain staus away, and alot can change between now and then. I love night games with the roof open, but it can be defeaning loud with the top closed, and enough of us yelling with numerous adult beverages in the system.

The Hines real estate firm is taking a page from the University of Texas' playbook when it comes to showing gridiron spirit.

On Monday, "Texans" will be spelled out in lights on the south face of Williams Tower for that night's game between the Houston Texans and the Tennessee Titans.

UT lights up its tower with the number "1" when its football team scores a victory.

Most everybody knows the 64-story Williams Tower, formerly the Transco Tower, is the Galleria-area skyscraper at 2800 Post Oak Blvd. topped with a revolving beacon of light.

Spelled vertically, Hines said "Texans" will take up 390 feet and 242 windows.

Each letter will be more than 5 stories - or 65 feet - tall. And each letter will be 35 feet wide

OK now ! That's what I call smart PR and inspired team spirit.
And lets just make sure the MNF production gets the word.

Current forecast for Monday calls for a high of 75º with a low of 58º for Monday night. 10% chance of rain. I think that means the roof will be open so look for those aerial shots of Reliant and undoubtedly the Williams/Transco tower....

From Keith Bullock...

"You’re talking about a team that hasn’t even ever sniffed the playoffs before, so they beat us and other teams in the conference I guess to them it’s like a playoff win. It does something for them. I remember last game, it was only the second game of the season, but I thought it was like for the AFC Championship. So that said, they have a huge stage Monday night, we both do. I know they have playoff aspirations and everything so we’re really looking forward to come down to Houston and destroying all playoff thoughts and aspirations they have. Thank you. "

This guy is an idiot. I still remember him bad mouthing Slaton and saying he was no good after he got his 2nd 100 yard game last year (the only two Tennessee allowed). It's almost as if being a loud mouth is a requirment for playing on the Tennessee defense. Only they actually talk more when they play bad then when they win (see Courtland Finegan every time AJ abuses him, he simply gets louder and louder the more he gets beat).

Obviously from the top down these guys don't exactly epitomize class.

Let's just let our play in the game do our speaking, and come out with a win. We don't need to even dignify that blowhard with a reply other than that.

USA Today is naming Vince Young as their fantasy pick of the week, predicting 255 yards passing and three touchdown throws. That doesn't mean they think he'll have the best fantasy stats of the week, only that he'll have the best fantasy stats for a player not claimed in most leagues.

Not sure I wouldn't prefer Ryan Moats for that honor.

I have to say, I don't remember too many night games with the roof open. Of course, that may have something to do with the aforementioned adult beverages.

Default Slaton back in starting lineup

From the Chronic:
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...t/6732850.html

Running back Steve Slaton will be back in the starting lineup Monday night when the Texans host the Tenn Titans.

Slaton found out today he would start after having a good week of practices. Ryan Moats started the 20-17 loss to Indianapolis on Nov. 8 because Slaton had lost five fumbles.

“I had an assumption that I would start, but nothing was concrete until now," Slaton said after being told by coach Gary Kubiak that he would be starting. “I'm happy about it. It's an opportunity I have to take full advantageof.”

Slaton is our best RB. He should start, but not at the expense of his constant fumbling. If he will just remember, in the heat of the run, to keep his elbow tight against his side he will be fine, otherwise he shouldn't even be in there.

J-Ville last year, Monday night football and Denver the year before in December.

iirc, the Sunday Nighter against the Chiefs in 2005 was with an open roof. T'was a forgettable affair though, so maybe I'm not remembering it right.
