Quote:I think the critical point here, BattleRed, (really respect your posting by the way, very articulate) is that you seem to have wanted a better team while the oilers were there. We want our team to get better. Its a subtle difference but one that has far reaching implications.

Well, I had a Marine Corps. upbringing as a kid and never spent more than a year or two in one place, so I never really had a "hometown" team to root for. After settling into the Houston area, I didn't feel any allegiance to the city or it's teams. However, with the new franchise, I found my "in" and am happy with them.

 

And I agree...we all want to root on a winner. I joined this forum because the Jags are the only other team in the AFCS that have respect for.
