I mean, I hope they didn't pay some PR firm to think that one up! How boring would the league be if ever city showed such a lack of imagination? (The Green Bay Wisconsins, The Oakland Californians, etc)
Can anyone think of a better name for them?
(How about the Armidillos? A slow creature that gets run over a lot on the roads in Texas)

Stonewall: Is it at the college level (can you say USC) or the NFL (can you say Patriots/Colts) that Texas is dominant?

Rattlers, Outlawz, Armidillos, Hill billies, hamburgers

How about the original name of the Houston franchise, "Houston Oilers".
They were awsome in the late 70s and early 80s with Bum Phillips as the coach and Earl Cambell carrying the ball.
They were also very good in the late 80s and early 90s with Warren Moon throwing the ball.

How about the Houston What-a-be-a-Team Again?
1-They made the playoffs 10 times.
2-They have never been in the Super Bowl.
All the playoff times were as the Oilers.
Maybe they should go back to that.

I see more cockroaches in texas(houston especially) than armadillos so I say the Houston Cockroaches. How about the Houston Trafficjams? The Houston Illegal Immigrants? Nah, it's Texas and if you ask anybody from Houston you can't go back the Oilers. That team was taken from them and they can't get it back. From what I heard they were named the Texans after the fans that supported their last team. Im so glad Im a GB Packer fan that is owned by the city and fans.

I just want to say that Stonewall Jackson should get the points for best answer now, it couldn't be said any better than that!
By the way, they can't use "Oilers" because Bud Adams, the owner of the Titans owns the rights to that name and won't allow it.
One more edit--if you doubt the dominance of Texans in football check any NFL roster--there won't be any other state that has nearly as many players on any team as Texas has. Just because they happen to be employed in Massachussets or Indiana doesn't mean they aren't Texans!

The Detroit Michiganians?
The Mineonapolis Minnesatonians (Minnostans?)
How about...
the Houston Owtlaws,
the Houston Bandits,
the Houston Rebels,
the Houston Boars,
the Houstan Loners (Lone Star State)
the Houston Camels (or do I got the wrong state, one of them down there has wild camels.)
I like Houston Armadillos, reflects the team's ability and role in the league quite well.
