Are there still Houston Oiler fans out there?

Question

Tell about your favorite Oiler player and why is he your favorite.

Answer 1

Houston Oilers went to Tennessee years ago. About the only one I can still remember is Warren Moon.

Answer 2

I love the the Oilers and the Titans. Moon, Campbell, Billy "White Shoes" Johnson, Drew Hill, Joiner, Matthews, Blanda, Munchak, Kearse, Bennett, Mason,and when they drafted Steve McNair and Eddie George and when they FINALLY got to play in the Super Bowl, even though not in Houston anymore, it felt as if it was vindication for all those years for when they came so close but never quite made it. I love the Oilers and the Titans so much that I designed a Tattoo that incorporates their two logos which i now wear proudly.

Answer 3

Man I used to love the Houston Oilers. Earl Campbell is the obviouse answer. Carl Roaches, White Shoes Johnson, The Snake, Dan Pastorini. One thing I remember was that a friend of mine was a Raider/Dave Casper fan. He used to rag me all the time about the Oilers and how great Casper was. Then when Casper became an Oiler. Great success!
I think Roaches was my favorite. He was small and I was small so I identified with him. We played football in the yard and I'd be like "I'm Carl Roaches" They would make fun of the name but I didn't care. He was awesome.

Answer 4

No there probably would not be since they are now the Tennesse Titans. But my favorites from that team would have to be Warren Moon and Steve Mcnair who played a season before they had the distinctive change of venue. Mcnair was my favorite and continued to be my favorite just because of the way he handled the game and how he seemed to be in control of the situation even at such a young age on the Oilers.

Answer 5

I was an Oiler fan way before the 1st Superbowl & knew some of them personally.. Chuckle, Hoyle Granger & I got into a fight outside a Houston bar & Walt Suggs grabbbed me several minutes into the fight... "I know he needs an *** kicking, but I can't let him get hurt." Suggs was a fine lineman & an all around good man. Chuckle, I still think Bud Adams is a cheap rascal that kept the Oilers out of the Super bowl on more than one occasion.

Answer 6

Not an Oilers fan. I was a Steelers fan. However I do have a lot of respect for Warren Moon from when he was their QB. Maybe their fans can name better players but man you had to love him. Actually I remember them as a great rival, may have been friendly rivalry but was one.

Answer 7

My favorite was Billy Cannon. He played when I was a child. My Dad worked with Bud Adams and my parents often flew with the team to away games. I was always jealous that I couldn't go so I could hang around Billy! Earl Campbell was my favorite player as an adult. I watched him play at The University of Texas and he was from my husband's hometown of Tyler.

Answer 8

Ray Childress was my favorite Oiler. He was mean as hell between the whistles, but showed true sportsmanship the rest of the time.

Answer 9

very final years in Houston on an identical time, Adams returned lobbied the city for a clean stadium—one with club seats and different sales turbines recent in presently–equipped NFL stadiums. even with the undeniable fact that, Mayor Bob Lanier grew to become him down merely approximately out of hand. Houston citizens have been careful of making an investment greater funds on a stadium so quickly after the Astrodome advancements and that the city grew to become into nevertheless suffering to recover from the oil crumple of the Nineteen 1880s.

At that factor, help for the Oilers all yet disappeared. Houstonians needed to maintain the group yet did no longer want to offer Bud Adams to any extent further funds for what he did. The 1996 season grew to become right into a catastrophe for the Oilers. They performed earlier crowds of decrease than 20,000 and video games have been so quiet that it grew to become into obtainable to take heed to conversations on the sector from the grandstand. It grew to become into extraordinarily superb that the group went 8–8, ending 6–2 in street video games and ending purely 2–6 in domicile video games. After the season, the city agreed to enable Adams out of his hire a twelve months early, allowing Adams to go the Oilers to Tennessee.

Answer 10

I go way back to Earl Campbell, Bum Phillips, Billy "white shoes" Johnson... They were my favorite rival to my Steelers every year. I was a little sad when they turned into the Titans... Great old team.
