Peter King Is Asking Texan Fans to Crush Him

[nunusguy]

As someone origionally from KC where the Chiefs fans are among the best in the league, I certainly don't put our fans in their category. The "Luv ya Blue" days
from I've heard were at that level , though I hadn't arrived in Houston yet. I do remember watching the MNF game on TV when Campbell had the 99 yard TD run and I think it was against Miami. Oilers fans passion was clear, even to the TV viewer. When and if we can recapture that here in Houston, then we'll have truely passionate support at Reliant.

Yeah, that was Houston pro football fans at their finest.

IMO, Houston has good and knowledgeable football fans - the teams just haven't been real good - there hasn't been a whole lot to jump and holler about through the years. I think this gets mistaken for apathy but I think in truth, it takes a rare fan to hang on during the lean times. I can see easily where many fans and casual fans may have developed a show-me-something-first-and-then-I'll-support-you attitude....

Even the Texans haven't had that many "moments" with the fans, yet. So many times, I see the camera panning the crowd and the fans are just frothing waiting for something to cheer about and it never comes. Two of the better moments from last year were the comeback against the Titans and Andre Davis' two returns against Jacksonville. Now, *that* was some entertaining football - the fans were going nuts. Also, Peter King needs to check out the Denver game from last year....

i went to buy my little sister an ice cream trying to beat the halftime rush so i'm missed the first one, came back about the time they were kicking again after the half yelling, "do it again, i missed the first one!" and sure enough #2 came screaming down the field. i felt that one was just for me!! haha...

Yeah, I remember the "Luv Ya Blue" years. That was great, but you wait, we will have our "Toast the Texans" attitude before long, you will see.
