Texans fan worst nightmare? Cowboys playing SB in Houston

[DFWJC]

I'm from the Midwest. I've always had zero perspective on Cowboys/Oilers, Cowboys/Texans banter.

I guess I am glad -- I have enough hatred of the NFC East that I don't have any room left to hate (or care about) the Texans. They could be playing in California and it wouldn't be any different from me.

I am on the only out-of-stater that feels this way?

The Texans hardly warrant a blip on the radar for Cowboys fans. But turn it around and you have a lot of envy

There is no hate for most cowboy fans. They are completely irrelevant to us.

Worst team in the playoffs. There are better teams NOT in the playoffs.

Like......7 or 8.

I tell them that quite often that in Dallas most there have no feelings one way or another for Texans however here even if it is a pre season game they make a big deal of it (unless they lose) In the 70's during the love you blue era carl mauck the starting Center and Elvin Bethea said in interviews for Cowboy fans to get the hell out of Houston and they would help us pack. Me and my family stayed just to spite them. lol

I'm in state and I could care less about the Texans

Only time I ever cared about the Texans was when they won their inaugural game as a new franchise against the Cowboys to add yet another stain on that dark era when jeri was neck deep trying to show the world what a great football man he was. Even then I was pissed at jeri more than the Texans

One last tidbit between the 2 franchise involving Ralph Neely

In 1965, he was drafted in the second round of both the 1965 NFL Draft (by the Baltimore Colts) and the 1965 AFL Draft (by the Houston Oilers). On August 29, 1965, the Colts traded his rights to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for Billy Lothridge and a fourth round selection in the 1966 NFL Draft.[1]

Neely accepted the Oilers contract offer (which also included rights to own a Houston gas station), but requested it be kept secret to remain eligible to play in the Gator Bowl. When he learned that the Colts traded his rights to the Cowboys, he began negotiating with Dallas, and returned his check to the Oilers. Litigation ensued between the Oilers and Cowboys in regards to his rights.[2]

A rookie in 1965, he joined the Cowboys just as they were beginning their ascent in the NFL, became an immediate starter at right offensive tackle and was named to the NFL all-rookie team. With great quickness for his size, he became a dominant player on the Cowboys offensive line for 13 seasons.

One of the terms of the merger agreement between the NFL and the AFL was that the Neely contract dispute be resolved. In 1966, the Cowboys finally agreed with the Oilers to send draft choices (a first, second and two fifth round choices in the 1967 NFL Draft), pay all of the court costs and to start the annual pre-season game the Governor's Cup between the two teams.[3]

When I think Houston Texas, I think of John McClain

This clown a few years back had an entire piece on how Matt Schaub was better than Tony Romo and how Cowboys fans were idiots for believing otherwise...

Anytime I see that fool on my Twitter TL I still give him hell over it..what a tard

 

[DC Cowboy]

No they don't what they do know is they share the Lone Star state with the most loved and hated team in pro football team. They know that the Cowboys have 5 SB to their 0 appearances in the SB. It is not just Texans fan but the once Oiler fans. It is not easy being the ugly sister in Texas. LOL

Sad part is all they have to do is win.

Yeah and he is actually a friend of mine. lol When Irvin was inducted to the Texas sports Hall of Fame, John invited me to go and as he did his interview with each athlete he would introduce me to them. Had a great time. I sat at the table with Jack Pardee and Spike Dykes and Mike Modano. Along with Irvin induction coach Dykes and Modano were being inducted as well as Mia Hamm and Ray Childress. It was a great time.

Of all the phony corporate-manufactured rivalries in sports, our supposed rivalry with the Texans has to be up there.

I understand it from a Texans point of view, they'd love to latch onto the Dallas franchise like a parasite and scoop up whatever residual fame the Cowboys juggernaut might leave for them, but we gain absolutely nothing.

Yeah that is not easy is it. lol They came close on a few occasions losing to the Steelers in the 70's and the big debacle in Buffalo after blowing the biggest lead in NFL history. lol

Did I mention how good of a guy he is....

He grew up a Cowboys fan, he has pushed for Lee Roy Jordan to be inducted to the HOF and has voted for him. As he has written he lost his love for the Cowboys when he came to Houston during the Love Ya Blue era and covered them. By the way his wife is a big Commanders fan. lol

I ain't celebrating a Super Bowl appearance until it actually happens.

 

[ThreeandOut]

The Texans already won their Super Bowl, the Governor's cup.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Texans and their fans want it to be a rivalry so bad and it may be one in the MLB but its just not happening in the NFL. We just don't play each other enough to try and create one.

 

[Bullflop]

LOL -- that's rich . . . I'm betting the Houston fans would be pulling for our opponent, whomever it might be. Their envy is great.

Cowboys fans barely remember that the Texans exist.

Texans fans hate the Cowboys with a passion, maybe more than some fans of NFC East teams.

 

[Doomsday101]

Last day of the work week out boss let us wear our NFL gear to work so of course wearing my Cowboys nike golf shirt with (dark blue with the Star) and so far several Texans fans have made faces and asking me why am I wearing this. I just laugh and tell them to get use to it since the Boys will be coming to Houston soon.

Curse of hosting a Superbowl:

2010 Dallas
Loses Tony Romo to injury

2011 Indianapolis
Loses Peyton Manning to injury

2012 New Orleans
Bountygate

2013 New York
Giants have Eli's dumb face and the Jets are the Jets

2014 Phoenix
Loses Carson Palmer to injury

2015 San Francisco
Just a mess of a team that year with a coach who should have never been hired

2016 Houston
Wishes they lost Osweiler to injury
