Texans overtake big brother Cowboys

He's still got the best stadium in sports.

And his team's unis are pretty cool, too.

He's still got the Ring of Honor and the history made by the iconic figures who've coached and played there.

He's still got the star. And he's still got the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.

But Jerry Jones, for the first time ever, no longer has the baddest NFL team in the state of Texas.

That would be the Houston Texans.

That's right, the eyes of Texas are not upon the Boys. The team named for the state now owns the state. Or at least bragging rights.

And those rights will be stamped, validated and deep-fried when the 2-0 Texans put a whuppin' on the 0-2 Cowboys in Sunday's shootout at Reliant Stadium.

Yawn. Someone wake me in 2029 to see if they matched our streak for consecutive winning seasons.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Unbelievable. Gotta love ESPN. But, no...ESPN doesn't hate us

[Nav22]

HAHA!

Zero playoff appearances. But a 2-0 start means they've surpassed America's Team? Can't wait for Sunday.

I am not from Texas but figured many of you are, is it true that UT, Texas A&M and TCU have by far more fans than the Cowboys in the state Texas as the guy in the article implies.

In short, no. You'd be hard pressed to find an A&M or TCU fan that isn't an alumni, and there just aren't that many alumni. UT has quite a bit of fans that are non-alumni. But it's not anything like the Cowboys. That said, college football is very popular.

I thought so, thanks.

 

[Reality]

The Texans could win 42-0 and they will still be the NFL team in Texas that no one talks about after a couple of weeks.

[Bob Sacamano]

Who didn't see this one coming? They've been the media darling heading into the season and to top it off, we are 0-2. So yeah.

Not to mention that TCU and ATM together add up to about 10,000-12,000 less students than UT has at any one time.

TCU's wiki page says there are 75,000 living alumni. The University of Texas enrolls about 55,000. There were a few years where UT had the nation's largest collegiate enrollment.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

They were probably just as good as us in 2002 anyway.

I'm a big TCU fan, but not a TCU alumni. The deal is, I am worth 50M fans cause I'm that good.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I think that all should hold judgment until the game axally played.

 

[casmith07]

Stopped reading at the word "Texans".

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Preach, Gimme. The game hasn't even been played yet. Are these people serious? The Cowboys need to win this game for so many reasons, peace of mind being one of them. It's getting ridiculous.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

But now Jenkins says Jones has to reconstruct his team. "He's gonna have to make some changes," Jenkins said. "Throw out all the coaches, or whatever. And face up to the fact that Romo's not the guy. He's not [Don] Meredith. He's not [Roger] Staubach. And he's sure as hell not [Troy] Aikman.

And don't forget this little gem. Some old coot who doesn't like the Cowboys and obviously doesn't know jack about football gives his uninformed opinion. Have you ever read a more unbalanced article in your life?

 

[Beast_from_East]

We have 5 Lombardis and the Texans have a 2-0 start...............


And they have surpassed us???
