Question for Houston fans
I've always wondered what would have happened if after 1996 and the end of the Oilers, if Houston never got back an NFL team. The Texans either were started up in San Antonio in 2002, or Houston became what LA did: A giant city with no NFL. Would anyone fill me on how Houston promoted the Coogs for those five years with no NFL competition? I know A&M and Texas are big in Houston, but technically Rice was the only football competition in the city for those 5 years. As a kid in the 80's I used to always think that Houston was on the verge of turning into an SEC like college football giant, but the sleeping giant has yet to waken.--That could have been the window. Can anyone fill me in on what was going with the administration, city etc. during that time? Why didn't the Coogs explode during that period? SWC breakup? Move to CUSA? Other factors? Thanks!
