When the schedule was released, I stood in a friend’s garage and proclaimed the Texans would go 10-6 in the 2007-2008 schedule. Free Agency hadn’t been completed, trades hadn’t happened, training camp wasn’t even a thought at the time. After week one, my optimism was rewarded. The Texans blew out the Chiefs, 20-3. A defensive TD by Mario Williams and a 70+ yard TD from Schaub to Johnson highlighted the day. The game started very shaky on both sides of the ball for the Texans, the offense had a 3 and out on it’s first possession, the defense allowed KC to drive almost the length of the field. Then it seemed a spark in the form of a 15 yard reception from Jacobi Jones started an inferno. Though they drive ended in a Schaub INT when he tried to force a pass to Andre Johnson in the end zone, it showed the Texans were able to move the ball. The defense responded by tightening up and allowing Larry Johnson under 50 yards on the day. Great game, great day.
The tailgate was great, but our crew ended up in the concrete area in the Yellow lot, which we didn’t like. We made the best of it and honestly, having more space was cool, but we were really disconnected from most of the fans in the grass, where we usually park. I walked around and saw that most fans had complaints about the parking situation of splitting up caravans on the way in the stadium. There really isn’t a quick fix solution as with people actually coming to the games instead of sitting at home, we will have many cars getting to the stadium at the same time and all using one entrance. Maybe opening a 2nd entrance for the Yellow lot would be the answer, I don’t know. I will be contacting the team to see what they suggest. But either way, it was a lot of fun. Many Bull Blasters were taken, many Shotguns were shot, the food was great and I got to see many friends I hadn’t seen all off-season. I didn’t see Flava Dave though!!!! I have to rectify that at the Indy game.
