Those were dark years for Houston NFL fans. I felt lost because I didn't have a team to root for. There was a lot of hate for Bud Adams and the Titans. There was also the same Dallas hate that's always been there, so being a Cowboys fan was definitely not an option.

I forgot to mention we had Arena League football from 96-01 playing in the Summit. I went once and saw Solari playing for the Texas Terror.

The oilers move broke my young fandom of any NFL team forever. The whole idea of "Houston's team" died and I realized being loyal to an NFL team was just as dumb as being loyal to a specific tech company. They are private businesses, the only difference is apple won't demand I pony up tax dollars to build them a new store.

The only exceptions being the packers and the browns; both teams are in part or completely owned by the cities they reside in.
