Official Texans vs. Ravens Game Thread, 10/21/2012

Thuggs is activated and, to make room on the roster, the Ravens have released OLB Sergio Kindle. If the name sounds familiar, Kindle is the former University of Texas star who fractured his skull in a fall down stairs two years ago and has hardly played since. He has no hearing in one ear and the Ravens were unsure how he would play with crowd noise. Didn't there used to be a player that was legally deaf a few years ago? I seem to recall a player from Nebraska like that who was an outstanding talent and they used hand signals for him.

Edit: That was Kenny Walker, Denver Broncos (1991-92).

My current interest in Longhorns football is roughly equivalent to my current interest in Astros baseball and for not dissimilar reasons but I can't help feeling a huge sense of sorrow for what happened with Sergio. That guy was a freaking terror at UT and I was really excited to watch him in the NFL. It's a real shame that he effectively never got to play.

Heading over to Sam's Boat to watch the game. Have we ever beaten the Ravens? Let this one be the first, just like it was with the Jets two weeks ago.

Nope, 0-6 against the Ravens. It's time to start cleaning up some of that stuff - Minnesota (never beat them, either, IIRC) is also on the "hit list"....

Forgot it is Battle Red day today....

Foreshadowing? I hope so.
