houstonfella Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 This is about all teams: college & prof. How the 21st Century has fared with our teams: College Baseball: Rice won 2003 championship; Texas won 2002 championship College Football: 'Horns 2006 Rose Bowl National Champs Pro Basketball: Spurs racked up 2 NBA championships this century Pro Baseball: Astros won National League Pennant Am I leaving anyone out? I'd say we've done pretty darn good on the sporting team. Yes, it could be better, and I believe will get better, but we've had some celebrations here in the Lone Star State.

MidtownCoog Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Overall I do agree, that it's good to see the teams do well, considering the money we have invested in them. I just see some people at work today saying UT's NC was great for Texas (the state). I see it more as a victory for Austin, not Texas, or Houston. Just ask the Aggies if the UT NC was for College Station. Or Houston when Dallas won the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask the Aggies if the UT NC was for College Station. Or Houston when Dallas won the Super Bowl.It was't specifically for College Station. But just because TAMU competes with UT doesn't mean that it wasn't for all of Texas. I live in Bryan/College Station and although TAMU (Texas A&M) is here doesn't mean that we would not want to see a Texas team win a national championship.

MidtownCoog Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Not saying you'd be against it, but the Texans winning a SB would be a lot better for Houston than the Cowboys winning one. I doubt anybody was cheering for SC last night.And FWIW, TexAgs.com is melting down!Go read it for a laugh and see the Love first hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJones Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Well, U of H had their asses handed to them in their bowl game this year, BUT, they went to a bowl ! .............Oh ! For all you die hard Aggie fans I heard a few fans calling into the Glen Beck program, some were hilarious, but some were just plain WRONG ! One caller said he would root for Iraq over the 'Horns. I don't know if that is being loyal to your alma mater, or just part of being an Aggie. footnote for Aggies: alma mater means da skool y'all went ta !
