Texans first preseason game is on a Wednesday...what?

Bloody nonsense and rubbish, I say!

Still can't get here fast enough though. We're finally going to see some NFL action this Thursday night!

:rock:
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Looking forward to see a little bit of Jaylen Smith.

Maybe one series.

The only reason I know the answer to this question it because the Cardinals started their training camp the same week the Cowboys did.

Man, I really really really hate pre-season.


That said, I'm so football deprived that there's no question I'll at least watch week 1.

Smart. If I were an NFL coach I wouldn't play my stars for a second of pre-season action. Too risky.

Garrett rarely plays his starters in the 1st game of a 4 game preseason. He sure as hell isn't going to play them in the 1st game of a 5 game preseason. Only reason I'll bother watching is to look at guys I think can make the team. I'll be done by halftime if not sooner.

And they have the nerve to charge full price on top of it. I don't have season tickets, but If I did, I'd be livid. :x

Tex Schramm was the first to start tying Regular season games to preseason games. To get tickets for Cowboys/Redskins in 1986, I had to buy like number of tickets to a damn preseason game.

Couldn't tell you a thing about that preseason game but I can tell you specific details about the Cowboys trouncing the Redskins 44-14 on Theisman's birthday. Including almost getting tossed out of Texas Stadium.

Alcohol was involved.
