Rice was surprised when UH showed up in the jerseys since they apparently didn't request and/or receive permission.

I heard this second hand but I think it is accurate.

Correct. Our jersey's also had "Rice" on them whereas UH had "Houston".

Mike Craven at Dave Campbell's Texas Football also had this:

Makesure you scroll down and read Taylor McHargue’s comment. RFND

can you summarize? I don't tweet lol

NRG seems fine for Houston thankfully, and that’s the same age roughly.

Interestingly, they are both about the same age as Turner Field in Atlanta and the Ballpark in Arlington when they were replaced (which also seemed surprisingly soon).

Nice.

UH folds its hand.

Nope. Not one more cent from Houston to the Adams family. That ship sailed a long time ago.

That's crazy. The Texans brand is the weakest in the NFL, and the Oilers are part of Houston's history. I'd personally get a lot more satisfaction out of having our team back, and not letting them ever use the colors or name again.

"Our" team? You related to Bud and family? I think they consider it their team.

If you have at least a spare $3.3B on hand, you can give Amy Adams Strunk a call and try to make a deal.

BTW - The Texans are estimated to be worth $4.6B. The Texans have made 10 playoff appearances in 22 years - 45% - vs. the Oilers that made 12 playoff appearances in 37 years - 32% - which includes their early success in the AFL. And yes, the Texans currently stink, but so did the Oilers before Bud moved them to Nashville.

Sometimes the best legal advice is to 'cease and desist'.

Yes, "our" team, and we aren't talking about the NET worth of a franchise, we're talking about the price of a name. Nobody cares about the lack of success of the Texans and Oilers, the most important thing is getting our team back in Houston.

The Titans/Oilers/ Bud's Team/Amy's Team/"Your Team" aren't coming back to Houston. And plenty people care about the lack of success of both, i.e., season ticket holders, for one group.

That all may be true, but if I were to have to put up with a bad franchise, I'd much rather it be one whose name reflects our history and culture than "Texans." Hundreds of thousands of fans would agree with that, as evident by all the Oilers gear I see being worn around town. Not even you can deny the overwhelming nostalgia here for the Oilers.

All it takes is a change of ownership, and anything can happen.

"Not even you can deny the overwhelming nostalgia here for the Oilers." Sure I can, as evidenced by my earlier posts in this thread. They left us, not the other way around. Nostalgia for Campbell, Pastorini, Johnson, Bethea, etc., yes. For the Oilers, no.

"All it takes is a change of ownership, and anything can happen." I think it would take at least two changes of ownership, Titans and Texans (no way the McNairs would approve two NFL teams in town.)

Houstonians still luv ya blue, and there wouldn't be two teams, as the "Texans" name would be replaced with "Oilers." Same franchise, new name.

Did you pee your pants at an Oilers game as a kid or something?

Just messing with ya

IDK. Lot's of people have a tone of old Oiler garb... posters... glasses... and what about the Dolls?

What was so horrible about the move was that Bud 'took' our history... and its not like he kept it/continued to use it... he just took it and burned it.

Take all the players... and if you want to keep the name and use it that's fine... Cardinals, Raiders, Colts etc etc.... but if you're not going to use the name and colors, why would you take them away from the very people who cheered you on for decades?

Just horrible IMO.

Yeah he was a low-life. Remember the preseason game in the dome when he had the crew botch the turf installation and there were holes on the field? They had to cancel the game. He just so 'happened' to not be in attendance himself that night. What a coward. The lengths he would go to to get what he wanted were disgraceful. Awful human being.
