For me, I wanted to have a second team to root for besides my local team since my dad liked two teams. That holiday, I got Backyard Football with Donovan McNabb on the cover and it happened to include the Texans. I loved the logo and the team ever since, and over the years grew to love the underdog that the Texans seem to always find themselves to be.

While I haven’t gone to a game yet, I plan to soon. I’ve only heard legendary things about the food outside of the stadium and the loud fans.

Is anyone else a long-distance fan?

    I was born in San Angelo, Texas in 1995 and I grew up with my dad being a Bucs fan and moving a lot because he was on the Air Force. So by the time I really started getting into football I loved that amazing defense and Mike Alstott. But I wanted my own team to root for because when my dad was a kid the Bucs just became a franchise and they were god awful his whole childhood and in 2002 the Texans played the cowboys in their inaugural NFL game and I told my dad whoever wins this game I’m going to be a fan of forever because of me being born in Texas. Long story short thank god the Texans won, and the Bucs won the SB that same season.
