About Vik »

Vik Vij, a graduate of Tulane University (2004) and South Texas College of Law (2009), is a diehard fan of the Texans, Astros, Rockets and Longhorns. In addition to being a sports writer and columnist for his college newpaper, Vik runs his own non-sports blog at http://vikstake.blogspot.com/.

As a Texans fan, he is optimistic about the future and considers the past part of the growing process. He has been a fan of the Texans since their inception and was actually in favor of drafting Mario Williams. Vik looks forward to seeing the Texans in the NFL playoffs for years to come.

Vik enjoys discussing (ok, arguing -- gotta use that law degree for something, right?) sports in general and specifically the Texans. He welcomes and encourages all reader feedback, both positive and negative, and promises to respond to all comments and emails.

    For the Titans slide, how about his caption: Mario: Yo Vince, what's higher? My sack total this year or your second try at the Wunderlic?
