Yeah, I mean, I dont dislike the Texans, they're just not the Oilers, much less the Saints where my heart really is.

I grew up with the Astros, but I dont know, I like them, really, but its just not the same since they left the Astrodome. The Rockets are great, really, but I have no interest in BB, until football is over, and my sports budget pretty much all funnels to New Orleans.

Yes, it had one 20 years ago. It has become an international city, and it actually is highly cultural, and all that crap. It just isnt Houston anymore. Its become like every other major city in the world.

yeah, I was raised in SE TX, which is basically like being raised in Crowley or Rayne or Eunice-- Everyone has a neighbor, a friend, and/or a spouse from Louisiana. Everyone from my home has a gumbo recipe, and is very familiar with the Cajun culture. We hunt, fish, trap crawfish, work for oil outfits, grow rice, dodge hurricanes and mosquitos... sound familiar?
