The REAL reason the Oilers HAD to leave H-Town
Now gather around my children and you will hear the legend of (cue scary music now)..."The Curse of the Astrodome". It all started back when the Oilers used to play in the Astrodome. Now legend has it that Billy Graham was coming to town and wanted to hold the Crusade in the Astrodome. Well, since the Oilers were scheduled to play there that weekend, Uncle Bud gave him the (cue scary music now) "double bird salute". Said something about not wanting to change the schedule...rather than playimg the game on the road, instead. Rumor has it that God put a curse on the Astrodome (even the Astros couldn't win there!). And from that time forward...these teams were cursed as long as they played there! EXAMPLE: The debacle in Buffalo (cue Uncle Bud's famous flip off now) that still stands as the biggest CHOKE in NFL history. EXAMPLE: Mike Renfro catching the game winning pass in the endzone that the refs called him out of bounds (playoff game against the dreaded Steelers....cue Bum Phillips saying "next year we'll KICK IT IN!") which was THE play that lead to the NFL coming up with the INSTANT REPLAY that we have all come to know & love today.
So you see boys and girls, the Oilers had to get out of the Astrodome...and when the city gave Uncle Bud the double bird...they had no choice but to leave. But thank God, the people of Tenn. took them into their hearts and homes...and at last the curse was broken! EXAMPLE: TITANS GO TO THE SUPERBOWL!!! And with God on our side NOW...who do we have to fear? (except Peyton). So play on young Titans....THE VICTORY IS YOURS!!
P.S. The Lord told me that He forgives Uncle Bud...and that He is waiting with open arms when he decides to confess his sins and repent (and from the way you look in your last pic, Uncle Bud, I'd use the "hurry up offense" on this one). May God bless Tenn. & the Titans!!!

dude, that's the wackiest moving story I've ever heard
of course they would have moved to some where anyway, the fans were’nt in the zone untill Bud middel fingers decided to Tennessee
sounds like
you’re kinda rippin on your franchise there, dude. And your owner.
Smushiak will take us to the playoffs in 2009.
On the contrary.....
I LOVE Tenn. & the Titans. You just have understand that Bud is a unique kind of guy…you might say that “he beats to a different drummer than most of us”. And whether good or bad…Bud Adams will never be afraid (even with the Commish right there in the box!!) to speak (or gesture) his mind in any situation. He’s a maverick for sure. Come to think of it…maybe that’s why he’s a billionaire.

re: the post
the tone of the post is BUD (your current owner) caused a curse which resulted in, among other things, the biggest choke in NFL history (by your franchise).
What you are trying to do is offend the city of Houston. But your cute little story would offend me as a Houstonian a lot more if it had anything to do with the Texans.
Oilers=Titans. You have all of it now.
And on the curse…. does your fanbase believe in curses, or not?

Cursed
If I remember correctly, only 1 team has ever lost the Super Bowl by a yard.

If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
Actually, we didn't lose by a yard
We didn’t tie by a yard.
If you are gonna bring up old stuff to try to sound intelligent, get your facts straight.
Official MCM Hater!
Retire #9!
I think commish left the box
so he lost his cool points there.

who cares?
seems texan and titan fans should agree to disagree. the cold hard fact is that texan fans are bitter that the oilers left town, whatever the reason is.

Thing is we aren't.
Remember, we VOTED to kick Bud Adams out of town. We got sick of him blackmailing the City over and over.
Other than the the fans who still root for the Titans here, I don’t ever hear anyone wishing we still had the Oilers.
