have the texans lost their mind?
479466
first off id like to state the texans are out of there mind they could have traded down and chose that player and got an extra draft pick.  Second i dont know why they would of chose reggie bush because even though he is good it is my understanding that they have a pretty good back and third but not least they do not need a quarterback because carr is a good player when your sacked continously its hard for any quarterback to do well.  There focus should be on offensive line and they should have traded there pick down for extra picks thats where they lost there mind

You and me are both worried. Really worried. We've lost Strahan, Umenyiora (I know I spelled that wrong...), Madison, Toomer, Arrington, Petitgout. The list keeps going on and on and on. If we were healthy, I wouldn't be so worried. I'm worried that they're playing on Monday night and they're playing away.\n\nIt's going to be a really rough game for us tonight. Do I think we can win? I am hoping, praying, begging, pleading so. We need this win. With Dallas' win yesterday, we need to keep that one game distance with them, or else our playoff hopes are done for this season. \n\nHere's hoping that the G-men take it all the way. Go Giants!

The Houston Texans said last week that they wanted to make sure whoever they drafted would be in camp on time. They did not believe that Reggie Bush's agent would accept their contract offer. Since they had Mario Williams rated almost equal and his agent was easier to deal with they knew they could get a deal done right away. Also the Texans have several good running backs and an awful pass rush. Now they have filled one of the key spots with the highest rated defensive lineman to come around in many years.

No. He even said it himself at the end of the '04 season when the Texans needed a coach. They offered him SO much money it wasn't even funny!

Well, I am laughing at the Texans right now. I am a Dallas fan. Thank God that they are not getting Bush. Now the Saints are going to be pretty good though. Brees and Bush. But who knows? This draft has been getting crazier ever since January 4.

If they keep on going like this they have a good chance of making it far. You can't really tell that sort of thing and how would anybody know that they will lose to the Cardinals in the second round of the playoffs!? Who do those people think they are? Nostradamus? Sheesh!!!!!!

They still have an outside shot, but they are depending on things they can't control.  For them to make the BCS Championship game, they have to have several things happen.  They have to win out, and win the Big XII Championship.  Louisville must lose a game, or at least come really close to losing in all of their remaining games, as to make their BCS average go down.  I really think Florida has to lose another game as well for Texas to jump them.  Another thing that would really help Texas is if Nebraska wins out to win the Big XII North, that way when Texas plays them for the Big XII championship, Nebraska will have as good as a BCS average as possible.  That would help Texas's chances the most.\n\nHook'em!!!!!\n\nTrue, the computer rankings of the BCS score don't take into account margin of victory, but the human polls part of it does-the Coach's Poll as well as the Harris Poll.

The way they are going right now clobbering every team they play i would have to say yes.  I dont think San Antonio has the power to stop them.

"The Republic of Texas is no more," proclaimed Anson Jones, the last president of the republic, as he stood on the steps of the old wooden Capitol building in Austin and hauled down the Lone Star flag. The date was Feb. 19, 1846, and the ceremony was the culmination of years of effort on the part of Jones, Sam Houston and other Texas leaders who orchestrated Texas' annexation into the union. \n\nBy all historical accounts, Texas officially joined the Union on Dec. 29, 1845. It has been a state for more than 150 years. But now, a beleaguered group calling itself the Republic of Texas is capturing headlines with its claim that Texas annexation violated the United States Constitution. Despite more than 150 years of calling itself a state, the group argues, Texas remains a sovereign, independent nation. \n\nThe self-styled Republic of Texas has taken its argument to the Supreme Court of Texas, which dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction. The group also has petitioned the International Court of Justice at The Hague; the court refused to hear its application. Nor would the U.S. State Department listen to its contention. Since then, the group has begun filing phony property liens, including a $93 trillion lien against the assets of the state of Texas, and last weekend it took two people hostage. So the time has come to take a serious look at the group's claim that Texas' annexation was illegal. \n\nThe group argues that since Texas was an independent nation in 1845, and nations make agreements by treaty, the United States could annex Texas only by treaty. Only Congress has the power to admit new states, so a treaty would have relegated Texas to territorial status. Moreover, the U.S. Senate was in no mood to ratify an annexation treaty in 1845. It had rejected just such a treaty in 1844. Thus was born the idea of annexing Texas -- as a state -- by joint resolution of Congress. A joint resolution required only a majority vote in each house, and Congress could admit new states. \n\nThe group's claim that the joint resolution was unconstitutional is not original. It was raised in both houses of Congress during the debates, and a majority of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations reported against the resolution on that ground. \n\nNevertheless, Congress passed the joint resolution consenting to Texas' annexation, and President John Tyler signed it on March 1, 1845. The Congress of Texas unanimously accepted the resolution on June 18, and a constitutional convention, convened on July 4, drafted a new state constitution. \n\nThe annexation proposal was submitted to the people of Texas and ratified by an overwhelming majority on Oct. 13, 1845. The U.S. Congress quickly adopted a Texas statehood resolution, and President James K. Polk (who had taken office in the interim) signed it on Dec. 29, 1845. \n\nTexas' annexation marked the first time in history that a sovereign nation voluntarily relinquished its sovereignty and became a part of another nation. Was it constitutional? Under international law -- and the group claims its status is governed by the law of nations -- no nation has the right to question its agreement with another nation by claiming that the other nation violated its own law. \n\nIn any event, in an 1868 case called Texas vs. White, the Supreme Court held that once Texas became a state in 1845, its union with the other states was complete, perpetual and indissoluble. In a 1901 case, the Supreme Court said that territory acquired by conquest or treaty is acquired "as absolutely as if the annexation were made, as in the case of Texas ... , by an act of Congress." \n\nNor did the state of Texas reassert its independence in 1861, as the group argues, by seceding from the Union. As Texas vs. White makes clear, Texas' attempt at secession was void from the beginning. \n\nThe Republic of Texas insists that since Texas is an independent nation, its status is governed by intern

Fans are often mad when their team doesnt win, especially a championship.  It should be expected.  \nI am a fan of every Texas sports team (not exclusively though) but I am happy that the Miami Heat were able to win their first title.  Its always nice to see someone new win.\n\n\nand i agree with Lynda.. not ALL fans are mad. there are lots of people like us that are happy for the Heat.. and its all about football in texas haha (for me atleast) :]]

I'm glad. Bush has a very high "let down factor". The Texans proved that they care more about winning a championship than ticket sales.\n\nBush will still be drafted really high up, and the minute he under performs the pressure may be too much for him to take. There are a lot of expectations that will be very difficult for him to meet. I think it was a good move. For the Texans. They got a very good player that can contribute right away.

Absolutely.  Nothing against Mario Williams as he was the best available defensive player.  The Texans needed a spark on offense.  Reggie Bush was a multidimensional weapon that would have caused havoc for defensive coordinators.  He would have also taken some of the pressure off of Carr.

I was there, on the field at the ROSE BOWL. And I was sick to my stomach.  I am a HUGE USC fan.  And I will tell you WHY Texas won that night. They wanted it much much more than USC did. Period.  They never gave up, they were down (12 points if my memory is correct) with about 5 min to go.  Not even the Texas FANS gave up! Why did Reggie pitch the ball? Why did Pete Carroll call that time out after the TD. Why?  I was sick to my stomach...history was in the making one moment then poof! It was gone.  And all the while the stupid (sorry Texans) Texas fight was playing over and over.  I was sick to my stomach!
