With that said, I am little concerned about this game, but I wonder if it's just because I was at the Saints/Texans preseason game where they played their starters "forever", and we played our 3rd stringers against them??? Seems like Kubiak wants to beat the Saints so bad that he would pull out all of the stops to do so, even in preseason, and THAT may just be his downfall. I know I live over here in the Houston area, but still can't bring myself to cheer for them, even when we're not playing them.....they're just a really hard team to love!

Being that your from Louisiana I dont find it hard to believe you cant cheer for the Texans. Hell i'f I moved to Louisiana I wouldnt change my loyalty's .

TackHammer...you might! It's pretty easy to love the Saints!

Hubby used to be a Dallas fan, and when we got married 8 years ago and I moved here from Louisiana, he fell in LOVE with New Orleans and the Saints...now he's a bigger fan than me, if possible!

Obviously, you've never been to the Superdome.

Reliant (even the name is corporate) Stadium is the drabbest, dullest sports experience I've ever had, and I've sat thru the slack of calf roping.
(ask a rodeo person.)

If youre coming to the game, you're in for some culture and some shock.

Nothing at all against Houston - I have plenty of family there and spent a lot of time coming over to Astros games in the dome.

But I was so underwhelmed by Reliant Stadium. I came to the last Saints game there (regular season) in what, 2007 or whatever it was?

And hey SM, why you pickin' on Rodeo man? With the NFL rules such as they are, Rodeo may be the last real man's sport. And I don't wanna hear none of that NASCAR caca either.

I've been all over Louisiana,some of it I like,some of it not so much.
The same can be said about pretty much everywhere I've been.

thats a good, level headed statement, Tack. I can get with that.

Im not trying to blast you in any way. just passionate about some
things. thank goodness for this board, where you can express yourself.

I try to stay objective. That being said....in your post about Houston you pretty much ripped every aspect of my home town.
I find that rather insulting to be called soulless,when the very town your attacking opened there arms for you guys after Katrina hit.
I understand smack talk but I dont understand attacking someones city.

I can overlook most stuff on message boards...after all it's the internet and a lot of stuff gets said that wouldnt be said in a personal setting. If people acted like they do on the internet in real life ....my knuckles would never heal.
