Yeah, the "they used to be the Oilers" argument is just ridiculous. Teams move all the time, doesnt matter. When they move to your town or state they become your team and represent you. Nobody follows a franchise, do people really think that there are a bunch of fans in Houston following the Titans saying that is "their" team.

I can't hate any team with Tennessee in the name, no matter where they were originally from. If Houston wanted to keep them they had a chance and failed. Their loss is our gain. Now Tennessee didn't have a NFL team and if you were a lifelong fan of some other team that's fine. I just don't get all the hate thrown the titans way becasue they came from somewhere else. Don't understand the Butthurt on that one.

FINALLY!! Someone noticed. I grew up in Alabama pulling for the Bear. He was our keynote speaker at our new stadium dedication when I was a junior in HS. Won the state championship that year on that field. When you grow up in Bama, you are either Bama, that other school, or insignificant (at least when I was there eons ago). I became a UT fan when I went to school here. Trust me, I love the Vols and pull for them every game they play. However, I will pull for Bama every game that they play except against the Big Orange! That is why I love the rivalry so much believe it or not.

It's the opposite for me(born in TN and have spent most of my life in bama) but I hate all things Crimson. Maybe it's because I have to listen to all these Bama punks for the entire year when we lose.

I watched bud Adams and the oilers when they were in Houston and hated them then.....it doesn't change just bc they decide to rip the Tennessee tax payers out of some money.

So, other than the fact you're a Steelers fan and hate Bud Adams and the Titans, how was the tax payer ripped off?

You think the state doesn't make money off the Titans?

This.

For some reason he thinks it's very rare for pro teams to ask for help from taxpayers to build a stadium. Luckily most taxpayers with a brain realized the economic advantages to having a professional team in the state.
