Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans: More Than Your Average Rivalry
11/23/2009
Born in Mexico, I moved to the Houston as a four year old kid in 1982. I spent five years there and began forging relationships that would last a lifetime. Yeah, some of that was with other people, but what really stuck were my relationships with Houston pro sports. I have since moved all over the country and currently reside in a small town on the east coast of Florida, but my passion for Houston pro sports has never wavered.
That passion reached it's greatest heights in the mid nineties when the Rockets won back to back NBA championships, but came crashing down only a few years later when the Oilers left for Nashville. My faith as a fan was shaken, but eventually rebuilt when the Texans downed the Cowboys on opening day, 2002. It's been a bit of a bumpy ride, but now we're ready to break out and change the future of the NFL.
I was recently married in July of 2009 to a wonderful woman who's only flaw is that she hates sports. As such, I'm currently in the process of converting her. She doesn't know it yet, but she stands little chance.
I have a BS in Industrial Engineering from Northwestern University and an MBA from MIT (where I was fortunate enough to take current Houston Rockets GM, Darryl Morey's sports management class). So naturally, I like to get into the details and stats of sports. Unfortunately, this probably drives my wife further away from them. Damn.
Haha well there was definitely another chapter added to this "rivalry". So now the Texans are 4-12 against the Titans. Nice one Texans.

You really sound like a bitter fan from Houston. Congrats your Texans are finally being competitive. Took you guys long enough. Give me a shout when...
Good article, man. I agree that this ought to blossom into an intense rivalry, especially if Houston continues to progress.
"But as with most expansion teams"? Please. Houston has been in the NFL for going on 10 years, OK? They are no longer an expansion team....
Adams is a maniac. I mean he was flipping off the other team after they beat them last week. The guy is senile.
I agree with Vik about Hall, and Jeff Fisher, from what I've seen of him, appears to be a standup guy. The rest of the Titans...
