Therefore, I'm not going to waste much more time following the crappy Texans. The sad thing is this is the same old story, just a different year.
As usual, right around halfway through the season I decide it's not a wise use of my time to follow a losing team and I subsequently stop paying attention to anything the Texans do. We've been consistently bad since our inception in 2002 and there's no reason to think things are going to turn around now.
Someone send me a text message if we start winning.
**UPDATE**
The Texans are rallying! I'm back on the bandwagon, baby!
**ANOTHER UPDATE**
We lost. We stink. See you all next season.
**FINAL UPDATE (I THINK)**
After the Texans tied the game with 50-something seconds on the clock, Jared sent me a text message. For your general entertainment, here's the unedited transcript:
Jared: R u watching yet?
Me: Yeah dude I updated the post
Jared: This is why fairweather fanning is lame :-p
Me: Speaking of that how are your bulls doing these days? :-D [Rod was a Chicago Bulls fanboy back in high school.]
Jared: Awesome. That one guy in the shorts, that black guy. Even their white guy. Doing good
Me: Haha
[By this time, the Titans' kicker, Bironas, just kicked the game winning field goal for Tennessee.]
Jared: Bironas for president.
Me: If he's a republican he's got my vote.
Jared: Wait, ur into Barth now. Aren't u a democrat?
Me: Not yet. But if barth wills it, who am i to resist?

If you guys would have had Vince we would have been toast long before the last second.
LOL
I was actually coming here to post "Bironas for President" in the comments.
Seriously, though: Kicking a record breaking 8th field goal that doubles as a last-second game winner is just freaking awesome.
My parents were at that game. I'd be curious to know if they were among the thousands who left in the 3rd quarter figuring it was hopeless for the Texans.
