Vince looks good in Reliant. I'm just sayin'........

Big hits so far. And the Texans are on the board first.

Go Vince!

And Bo, and Hall, and Griffin!

and Studdard and Okam!

thought Studdard is the only one that actually gets reps.

GO TEXANS!!!

Hope VY has a good game and stays healthy though.

No way...

I’ve been calling Titans will come back when VY become a starting qb again….I predict they will be from 0-6 to 10-6 by the end of season…

Playoffs this time?

Or just miss, like in 2006, the last time VY had to step in and save the Titans.

If he can lead Titans to the playoff, that would be amazing!

Yes indeed. It would be amazing.

And it would be even better to listen to all the national radio shows eat it, since they were all predicting he would bomb.

Absolutely

I seriously have no idea how people let the douchebags at ESPN blow the Fisher incident so out of proportion. I had classy Ravens fans telling me and wifey to go kill ourselves when we wore our Vince (one UT, one Titans) to see the Titans beat Baltimore last year. Those piss-poor Baltimorons can eat it.

I feel for you.

Although every year I have to deal with my extended family in Florida. Those guys are pretty obnoxious (not in front of my girlfriend, though).

Ask 'em if UF's ever going to win a ring that says:

“Undefeated National Champions”

Ha ha. Nice one.

I usually just remind them that the SEC is overrated, and that they will be terrible without Tebow.

We're at BW3 on Rice Blvd

Only VY fans in da house. Pls snd hlp!

anybody got a justin.tv or other link?

leaving my ESPN connection at halftime =(

Texans want to make VY beat them with his arm

Washington just dropped a ball.

Chris Johnson is all MAN. Very explosive.
Thanks PB

Thanks for open up this thread. I’ve been waiting for this thread since last Sun. But, that doesn’t mean not to show support to our men basketball team tonight. We should have no problem to handle Iowa tonight. Go Horns!!!!

Always Hook’em!

VY playing calm, tearing it up so far
Nice throw, VY

c’mon…lets score a TD on this drive.

TD!!!!!!

YEA BABY!!!!

yay!

VY looking good and consistent

You can defend VY, you can defend CJ...

but you can’t defend ’em both.

Awesome TD!

Dreading my awkward future outburst at BW3 when Schaub drops back to throw just as A. Bradley slams a dunk.

lol….Bradley slams dunk!!!

I don't think the Rose Bowl sideline is large enough

for the 2005 team alumni plus the current team. The Texas athletic department will have to hold a lottery for the available sideline “entourage” passes.

C'mon Griffin

we need u to cover Andre bad…don’t quit on us..

Nice Sack by the Titans D
Cushing is a beast.

c’mon…man….lets get the 1st down here

Cushing is... wow
...roided up?

Thats for sure...

Mark McGuire comes to my mind…

Cushing's infinitely less likable than McGwire

Although both were USC products.

really?..I never knew where McGwire came from

That kinda lets me group him into that group of douches from there

* McGwire

Thanks for the correction. Crap, I just don’t have time to google his name…haha…

He's also damn good

and definitely not the only NFL player on roids.

I don't think he's THAT good

But I don’t follow the Texans as closely as you probably do. I just haven’t been terribly impressed in the games I’ve seen of him, college or pro. One way or the other, the photos alone are enough evidence to convict him of douchebaggery, no?

I was hoping for a blocked punt

then I realized I was watching the Texans and not the Longhorns.

what the?

everyone know Andre will get the ball why no double coverage?

TOUCHDOWN

to Andre Johnson. 14-7 the good guys.

that's relative good sir..nt
precisely

Kubiaggy = “good guys”?

Chris Johnson!

OH my freaking goodness!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha.

VY hittin the ref’s ass.

Nice VY keeper.

That one should be a TD, man!!!!

Tie game
Good guys tie it up ;)
this is going to be a pain

switching back and forth to the Texas/Iowa game.

P.I.P. It works.

Great Drive By VY!!!

That's good

to tie the game before head to locker room…

They say the option doesn't work in the NFL

But when you’ve got the fastest RB in the NFL and arguably the fastest QB in the NFL, maybe it does.

I think the option CAN work in the NFL...

but no one wants to put their 10 million dollar QB where he can absorb hits.

Man, 2005 what a great memory!!!!!

Now, waiting for McCoy to do the same on Jan.

C'mon D

let’s hold them rght here… no FG allow!

done!
Great 1st half

VY is the man!!!!

Jamal Charles

have a great season in Chiefs so far.

Yep

Couldn’t be happier about that. I was pissed when KC drafted Larry Johnson, I cheered for him on only one play his entire career with my Chiefs, and I am thrilled that KC’s doing a lot better without him than with him. 2.7, as he’s now known (he’s #27, and his rushing average was 2.7 when KC released him), is my least favorite Chief ever, and Charles is showing everyone that Johnson was nothing but a pure rusher who can’t get it done behind anything but a great line. It didn’t help that the dude blocked like Mariah Carey.

VY

I want him to have a good game but I just cannot stand Bud Adams.

yea, that bird thing was really uncalled for. Shame on him…

Effing Fisher needs to get serious about covering Johnson. Michael Griffin up top, and either Finnegan or Hood up front.

Vince is playing well, though. Kick some ass, Vince!

Seriously?

We kinda like handed that TD to him by covered him 1 on 1. We let him had it just for the TV exposure and the talking points from the commentators. That’s all.

Who is "we"?

Titans or Texans?

Ah

You were talking about handing it to Johnson. Got it.

Well, he is actually playing decent ball, although it’s hilarious to see ESPN backpedaling on all the crap they’ve talked about Andre Johnson (character issues) and Vince Young (Fisher-calling-cops incident) recently.

oh, i was talking about Andre’s TD..

Kudos to that commentator

Always quote the “former Longhorns” first before he say the players’ name.

Great throw by VY!!!

I like it….. VY shows some hot temper!!!

Crap

Wasn’t his knees down before the ball comes out?

Not really. But they might rule that he got it back, and was down, before he re-fumbled.

Guess not

Sucks that it happened right after douchebag Cushing goes for the personal foul.

Nice!

An inexpensive lesson.

Ouch

Nearly a pick for Dunta. Vince, you’d better not toss another duck like that in his direction.

Shades of Vince of yore

Nice scramble for the first down, and good job getting the sideline.

that is what he does...

cush thought he had him…whoops.

OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!!! Remind me how he usually ran for the Horns!!!!!!!!

And again!

Vince looks like he’s leading a comeback drive against Okie Lite or something.

Keep Running, VY!!!

Why did he leave us so early???

VY running

should be their #1 play. Texans have actually done a decent job on C. Johnson.

SACK POLLARD!

17-14 Titans winning!!!!!

Bironas owns Reliant Stadium
Johnson

Looks like he could be thrown a little off his pace for the record. The graphic said he needs to average a little under 150 yards/game, and he’s at a little under 100 so far.

My Bironas
Word.

(He’s my kicker in fantasy.)

Ha, me too.

I need Scaife and Bironas to have some big numbers tonight.

Crap! I really dont get it….why there’s no double coverage on him

There was, really

Problem is, it was two safeties (Griffin and Hope). I think Hood or Finnegan would’ve been better than the second safety.

Nice D!!!!!!!!

Sighhh... same sloppy play as last year
wrong thread, meant for basketball

WARD!

I know!

Man, he should run straight instead of ran out of bound..

VY scrambles... cannot be stopped
Vince looked great on that read. Good to see Fisher calling some plays to his strengths
It's good to see Heim working with Vince a little
What's up with the techno music

when they show player stats?

I wouldn’t mind some country music on the mix.

Defensive interference

Dunta trying to get some action there
C'mon got to be

Defensive pass interference…

WHO IS THE #94?

Antonio Smith?

Man, what a dick move. Eject the guy when you see something like that.

Gettin' chippy
nothing new in a texans/titans game
Was gonna say the same

I’m ok with that… Vince + passion = unstoppable

C’mon man, just play ball…

looked like a false start
Man HOU playing great against Chris Johnson

considering what he did to them in the first game.

Some of you

are about to get some Bironas fantasy points.

NEGATIVE
Yikes.

And I can’t even fall back on the bball game.

Oh crap here comes Bironas

damn, VY should run on that play

Pollard

Playing like a linebacker again.

Also looked like VY threw it behind his WR a little bit
Shit, what was going on with Vince?

Hopefully just a light pull or cramp

Yeah

hoping just a lil hammy.

Ugh

Hooked left

How’s our men bball are doing so far? PB

Tied at half
Thanks

We’re tied? Shouldn’t we lead them at 10 or 15 pts…Iowa should not be that good…

Oh well, I’m sure we will take care of them in the end.

Horns keep busting 10 pt leads, and giving them up.

Crap! Barnes need to make the adjustment.

horrible

we should be blowing out Iowa

I thought we were..

…well last time I checked we were. Doing work, and watching online. Came back and only up by 1.

Yep

Looks like a hammy alright.

He should be be out there with no problem..

CRUNCH!

Too bad it came at Kasey’s expense.

BIG SACKS!!!

Keep it going D!!!!

Schaub should've thrown it away
Unbelievable

Nice sack for a big loss, and Tenn ends up deep in their own territory. Vince needs to kill a ton of clock and score some points.

needs to look out for Cush and Pollard
C'mon VY

lead for another TD on this drive…

VY tweaked hammy
guess it's not bothering him anymore lol
Sure seems to be moving on it, though

Nice to see. That’s their best friend right now.

RUN RUN RUN VY!!!!!!!!

OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!!!!!

Yes he did. There he goes. VY for first down, baby!
He looks FAST these days

He really has been working all season to get his motor goin

Chunkler makes the catch

But can’t quite decide where to lumber.

Seriously, when did Crumpler gain all that weight?
Not sure

He’s not a tall guy, I think 6’1" or 6’2", but he didn’t use to be nearly that stout. Think he’s probably up to 255-260 by now.

borrowed it from Lendale White
CJ is pretty killer too.
Titans might very well drain all the clock

and try to kill Houston with Bironas.

I like the plan..

Chris Johnson is going to need to sleep in an ice bath tonight. Man, that guy has taken some hits.
Holy shit, Texans get a 3rd down stop?
Okay Okay (clap clap clap)
Wow

Can’t believe he didn’t lose yards on that. Dangerous play, but it worked…barely.

hmm. tripping is now legal?
DAMN...

THAT SHOULD BE A FLAG!!!!!

What's the announcer saying is a penalty?

Did he want intentional grounding? The ball landed 5ft. from Scaife’s toes.

tripping, big time
um, did u not see the replay? VY was tripped. Blatant no call.
I had looked down for a sec
Wow we caught a huge break
Looks like Houston found some SEC officials ;)
Those referees are freaking blind.

That was a tripping on VY, should be personal foul!!!

&%$@ that!

C’mon, guys, you have to actually get the snap in time to make it work.

Spare us your make-up calls

They will never able to make up that call…We’re about to score on that drive..

I knew I'd be stressed about this game

but not the freaking Iowa game.

Horns are showing up for the second half.

Avery Bradley bustin' out his mid-range game..nt
guess we just wanted to wear them out?
Yeah.

Plus Big 10 bball just isn’t as bad as football.

Fisher, you better double coverage on Andre

Otherwise, i would kill you in my freaking mind..

nice Slaton
Ha ha.

Announcers called him CJ.

C'mon D

Create some TO….fumble/interception…i take it

Who is #24?

You almost be our D MVP…

Chris Hope

Free agent acquisition from the Steelers last year.

uh..I think you mean couple of years ago..nt
I thought 2008 was his first year in Tenn?

nope

Damn

Time flies when you’re preoccupied with college ball.

I didn't realize it was that long either..nt
Thanks #20

Thanks for your help :)

WTF

Fair catch at the five?

Can u believe that? And the dude gets a check for the bone head play....

I wouldn’t surprise his coach will have a mouth at him now…

Gotta be aware of where you are on the field

No excuse for a fair catch there.

Oh yes. Horsey collar.
Nice Penalty..

I take anything give to us!

Regardless of if that was a good call or not

Texans are shooting themselves in the foot

looks like SEC refs on the Titans side now
Fisher upped his bid, I guess
Don't boo man

Wat about our tripping call on VY?

Texas 53 Iowa 43...update
well at least something's going right
Heh

Doesn’t look like it actually was a horse collar, but the defender was actually trying to reach up to get him on the horse collar. So he tried and failed, and was ironically penalized for failing.

NICE run CJ!

It looks to me this is the very 1st breakout run play he has

Think he's finally seeing a tired defense

He’s definitely gotten some 1st downs, though.

And he needs 5yds. to be on the pace for the record

He should easily exceed that, if they have a good drive.

Whoops…there he goes, over 150. Needed 149.

Nice Run

Chris Johnson!

CJ is a little frog hopper
Burning the clock down

Kick the FG to win this game…You can do it VY…

wow imcomplete Crumpler
I'd say complete

Set it up, then snagged it. Very close, and I could totally buy it if the refs did call it incomplete, because they could argue he used the ground to stabilize it.

It is a catch...

No more SEC ruling crap here!!!

Sigh... a game of inches.
Really hard switching between this game and he basketball game.
My remote's worn out
Do you have direct TV?

Push down arrow twice. This lets you watch and pause to channels at once, meaning no commercials and watching VY beat Houston and following it up with Sexy Dex second half domination.

57-46 Horns. Damo with a nice jumper..and then a layup...59-46
still over 10 min left in the bball game

I’m focusing on MNF.

I love it when...

…the back judge comes in and overrules on a play he had absolutely zero chance of seeing.

wow. questionable call
INCOMPLETE!

ball on the ground.

Here we go (holds breath)

Still think it was a catch

But it was so close that I can buy the other side.

C'mon VY

Run to get the 1st down

God it's great to see him play again
wow VY run, how easy is that
I CALLED IT I CALLED IT I CALLED IT

DAMN IT!!!!!!!

VY

Good to see you again.

QB draw comin' up....
RUN FOR THE TD, VY

C’mon you can do it VY!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy... here we go

Up to Bironas to kill the Texans again.

Bironas time, I guess

Better hit it this time, fella!

FG is............ good
I want these points

But they don’t want to take a shot with :50 left? At least make it a chip shot?

Nevermind

What do I know.

was 4th down, no?
Exactly

No reason to risk it.

Ah

Didn’t see that

That's it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lotta drops by Tenn WRs today

Not unusual for them, but I’d like to see them start catching passes, especially with the low velocity Vince has been putting on them.

TIE GAME

Gage was out for injury?

update...Horns up 61-46
Thanks for the update

Forgot to check

Thanks for the pooch kick

decent field position to start

vy rushing: 10 att, 74 yards. not a bad average, that. (although 10-22 in passing)
Lotta drops

Still, I’d like to see a better completion percentage. He was 9/13 at one point.

Don't understand that play, Fisher.
That was stupid
Need about 10 more yds
Is Les Miles someplace taking notes?
Alright

Tackled him in bounds.

CMON D

Create some turnover…Can you???

Guess it's never too early to promote Saints/Patriots
Alright here we go for the tie
Definitely a good game.
BLOCK THAT KICK!!!!

Special team, this is the perfect time to shine!!!!!

Moved back a yard

Making it…hmmm…48yds.

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Another win for vince.
FG isssssssss NO GOODDDD!!!

and that’s why we’re the Texans. 8-8 again here we come.

Miss. VY is 4-0. YESSSSSSSSSS.
YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Florida State-Miami!

Titans win!

HA HA HAAAHAHA!!!

Should have drafted Vince!!!

There y'go

That’s exactly it. I wish nothing bad for the Texans, but it’s nice to see VY beat ’em.

Love you, Vince! Keep it rolling, baby.

So great to see VY tear it up again. Wish it could have been for H-Town.

TTEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!
FFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
VVVVVYYYYYY IS THE MAN!!!!

Always Hook’em!!!!

FFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!.........nt.
I can't believe it

2nd straight game Texans couldn’t force overtime because of a missed FG.

He's still the man.

Aaawwwwwwwwhhhhhh…..nice to see him gave hug to Studdard… Nice job, VY!

Four in a row

Have to wonder about the decision to wear earrings. That seems like a bad idea. Anyway, wonderful job. You minimized your mistakes, and led some good scoring drives, including the game-winning drive. And when interviewed after the win, you gave credit to your teammates, and graciously declined to say anything douchebaggish when offered the chance to do so about people who questioned you. Good show, mate.

VY just stick that to

Kubiaggy’s face!

One of the most satisfying games to watch of the season.

I love watching Vince Young play. There is nothing quite watching him run on 3rd down when other options are exhausted. The positive hype on him tonight was well deserved and what a field goal kick!
