6 straight ALCS, 4 WS, 2 titles. And they still have a chance to do it this year. But they whine like somebody's amputating their limbs without anesthesia.

The Astros are all they've ever had. The Oilers left them for Nashville, Texans have always been a joke, and the Rockets are in the middle of a rebuild.

FIFY

I'm a bit of anomaly. Diehard Rangers fan, can't stand the Cowboys - grew up in central TX but was a Packers/Oilers fan as a kid. Moved to Nashville in '82, and I was pretty fired up with the Oilers moved to TN - my childhood fave moves to where I live, doesn't get much better than that.

Maybe my memory is skewed, but I seem to recall Bud Adams was begging Houston for a new stadium and they flat out refused, leading to the move. And almost immediately afterwards, Houston builds a new stadium & gets a new team.

If that timeline and recollection is correct, IMO Houstonians lose the right to b*tch about losing the Oilers, because they could've kept them by building the new stadium they wound up building anyway. It always appeared to me that they thought Adams was bluffing, called the perceived bluff, and then whined and cried when he did what he said he would do. Likewise, if they wanted Adams & the Oilers to go away to make room for a new team/ownership, they lose the right to whine because they got exactly what they wanted.

Rangers/Astros related because I see a lot of the same illogical behavior on the part of Astros fans. Sorry for the derail.

You forgot the part where they keep the old stadium anyway, like Miss Havisham's wedding dress in Great Expectations, just in case the Titans want to move back and play in it.
