Don't understand this at all. Have a preference for sure but they are both Texan teams after all! Be proud of your States teams.

the mods are really on top of the trolls lately.

A guy from North Texas comes to the Houston board to proclaim that there are more cowboys fans here than Texans fans.

Wonder what the motivation was?

Agreed.

How come there isn't as much as a rivalry between Rockets and Spurs, or even Mavericks and Rockets? Is it because Cowboys are considered "Americas team"?

Back to the subject I'm a Texans fans but I see our rival teams as anyone else in the AFC South. Especially the Colts.

How do you not understand this? Rivalries between teams within the same state can be some of the most fierce and intense. Most Texans fans...including me...loathe the Cowboys and their fans.

Again, I'm a Texans fan.

I'm a student at North Texas but even the Houston students primarily root for the Cowboys.

Then when it comes to the NBA they'll root for the Rockets. What gives?

I don't even like football, but I was rooting for the Texans when I lived in Houston. My husband was the same, but he loves the Broncos more being born and raised in Denver.

You're full of crap. Unless they grew up outside of Houston or there are some strong family ties, I have never met anyone from Houston who roots for the Cowboys. Why on earth would they?

Nothing against good rivalries, it's a lot of what sport is about but 'hate'? It's extreme and could it be (from your statement, I don't know you) you are the sort of fan you dislike so much?!!
