Stanley Cup

[strife]

Meh... I'm from Houston and consider the stars my 2nd favorite team... albeit, a very distant 2nd. I don't have any ire towards Dallas or any of the Texas sports cities(am a Texans fan first, followed by a Cowboys). I would rather root for a Texas team over a team from another state(except for the Pens, as I grew up watching them before Texas had a hockey team).

I think all the Houston vs Dallas hate is just envy

Dude, you can't be a fucking fan of both the Texans and the Cowboys, its like saying "I like the Giants but the Jets are okay too". You pick one or the other.

Why? The Oilers left town and left me with only 1 team in texas to root for so I grew to be more of a Cowboys fan in my late teens, which is when I really got into football. When the Texans started, I wasn't just going to drop all affiliation with the Cowboys. And your comparison would only be true if the Oilers never left Houston, and even then it's still just silly. The whole Houston/Dallas hatred thing is just silly and one sided... Some Houston fans hate Dallas, and Dallas is oblivious to Houston.

As for envy towards Dallas... not sure what there is to be envious of... Gee, I would love to live in a city which is filled with credit card millionaires and is a culinary wasteland. I would probably shoot myself if I had to live in either city again, but at least in Houston I would have some good food to distract my impending suicide.. Seriously, i've been to every habitated continent and dallas' food ranks up there with Botswana...

Who cares about Dallas as a city. The Mav's have been awesome for a while, the Cowboys(while not lately), have actually won a Super Bowl and are probably the most popular team in Football.

On a different note, the Texans are predicted to be the #2 team in the AFC - our D is powerful and it should be a fun year barring any more injuries (although with a 3rd string QB we still went a round deep into the playoffs and would have been farther if it wasnt for jacoby fucking jones, who is nolonger with us)

Yep, we should be a force this season if Schaub can stay healthy, and our Defense is good enough to win games even with Yates taking snaps... although, no way we're in the top 3-5 with him as QB.
