Being a long term fan of any Houston team (minus mid 90's Rockets) will teach one to be tempered, cautious and to have lowered expectations. I've been programmed to approach each year with a show-me-you-can-do-it-and-then-I'll-believe attitude. I realize I have no control of the situation and am just an observer...
Man, I felt so bad for the city of Atlanta and their fans after the Super Bowl. Sporting-wise, Atlanta and Houston have a lot in common specifically, a lack of championships. Atlanta's perfect storm of choke was such an Oiler thing to do.... Does anyone recall that graphic during the Super Bowl where they compared the city of Boston's championships vs. the city of Atlanta's championships? During most of the game, it looked like Atlanta was going to get over the hump like Tampa Bay and New Orleans did.... Poor Arthur Blank, sports just ain't fair sometimes....
I pretty much agree with Bob's assessment. The Oilers are in the past. Despite a few exciting periods, I can recall many, many dreadful years. There were years I wouldn't wish on any fan base but I think time has softened those memories...
