    I like that ROUGHRIDERS. The name just sounds wild and good for houston. [​IMG]

    Seriously its better than Texans or anything else. Bucs and Texans going at it today or you can say Bucs and ROUGHRIDERS going at it today.

    RKMAN - GO call bob mcnair and tell him to chose that!

    Roughriders is the name of Saskatchewan's team in the CFL. The Saskatchewan Roughriders.

    It's a pretty good name.

    I like the Houston Cattle-Rustlers better, though.

    How about just Riders w/o the Rough part? Sort of like the San Antonio Riders of the WLAF.

    The colors would have to be upgraded though. The Riders wore brown, gold, white...sort of like U of Wyoming.

    I used to be the ultimate "Texan" fan. Now I think all of the names are stupid.

    Apollos: Space theme has been done to death. Beyond that, I like this one ok.
    Stallions: Colts, Broncos, etc...there are enough horsies in the NFL
    Wildcatters: I've lived in Houston all my life and I had NEVER heard this word before. Now I now what it is, but I still don't like it.
    Bobcats: c'mon. Sounds like some peewee league.

    If I had to choose between these, either Texans or Apollos would be it.

    The Houston Silverbacks. Now thats a name. What could be better than a great big, pissed off ape for a mascot?

    I need a new signature.

    Gotta agree the whole Texans thing sounds rediculous.

    Not an argument Pole, but I grew up in Houston and lived in El Paso till I was 21. I never knew what a wildcatter was either.

    Plus Texans were done already. By Dallas of all people. Why be assiociated with anything Dallas?

    How about the HOUSTON HAKEEMS [​IMG]
    or the Houston Peekachu's

    Seriously though

    the Houston Generals
    the Houston Gamblers
    the Houston Oilerz
    the Houston Tornado's
    the Houston Crush

    fadeaway are u serious about houston "pilgrims". That is as almost as dumb as Texans. hehehe, acutally its funny when I picture a bunch of pilgrims playing football. I heard someone on 610 once mention the Houston "Humidity". He also said the mascot could be just a fat sweaty guy. Now that would be hilarious.

    My personnel favorite would be the "Cowgirls". Because u know my Boys are going to spank that ass.

    I agree that Houston Texans is a pretty lame name for an NFL team, but it is better than the other crap that was suggested. And, look on the bright side...if McNair was to name the franchise after something truly Houstonian, look what we could have had:

    Houston Flying Roaches
    Houston Junebugs
    Houston Corrupt City Councilmen
    Houston Idiot Drivers
    Houston Marvin Zindlers
    Houston Homeless People
    Houston Trailer Trash
    Houston Topless Dancers

    When you put it in perspective, Houston Texans really isn't all that bad! [​IMG]

    Sure, the team uniform could be black trousers with a puffy white shirt and a black vest. The helmets could be designed to look like black, wide-brimmed hats, and the players would have to grow large, puffy beards.

    Hmm.. that gives me a new idea.. The Houston Amish! What'ya think?

    That is as almost as dumb as Texans.

    <U>NOTHING</U> is as dumb as Texans. :p

    The Corrupt City Councilmen isn't city-specific enough. Lots of cities have corrupt city councilmen.
