God those uniforms are pure fire.

I stood in line behind him to register for summer school classes at Blinn in CS. Would have been '88 or 89. I had no idea who he was until he got to the head of the line and gave his name. John, but everybody calls me Bucky.

This thread makes me so sad. *****Bud Adams and the Tennessee Titans forever.

These are some great pictures.

I love pictures of 1970's NFL. 75% of the guys look like beer league softball players or the guys that would hang out with your cool unmarried uncle around the garage at your Grandmother's house. You know, the ones whose arrival meant that it was "time for you to go inside."

Growing up in Bryan in the 80's I could legitimately be a Cowboys fan and an Oilers fan since we were roughly halfway. The Oilers were just so damn fun in the 80's and 90's between the "Run & Shoot" and Glanville's defenses and the players and everything else they were just so polar opposites of both the Cowboys and the Texans now.

I was so pissed over the Oilers leaving and have tried to love the Texans but they're just so damned boring. It's just so clear the McNairs don't actually care about winning or truly being embraced by the city they just care about the bottom line.

Pastorini, Stabler, Kenny White Shoes, Earl, Moon, Bum and Glanville

to

David Carr, Dom Capers, Matt Schaub, first pick as a franchise on a injury-prone lineman, activating a third TE

Personality Plus to Boring AF.

Then, when the team finally starts to show a little identity and personality with the likes of JJ, Hop, Watson, the McNairs blow it up again.

I can't find the quote but when McNair first was awarded the team I believe he said something about wanting the club to be the opposite of the Cowboys who still had the reputation as a bunch of drug users and criminals so he wants his players to do things the "Texans way." Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see the Texans players getting thrown in jail. However when its your primary mission to field nothing but "good guys", you get 20 years of mediocre football.

Watson has tried to change the image.

Buddy of mine who plays guitar and myself came up with a little song when drunk about the Oilers leaving and the new Texans franchise. We were so excited at the time but damn if this doesn't remind of opportunities lost. Part of it is those fckstick Adams people for refusing to sell the Oilers name/branding and part of it is the way the milquetoast McNairs don't care about winning.

Trying to remember all the words...

Dallas Cowboys on in the front room,
Oilers on in the back.
Weren't many glory days then,
Like when Buffalo came back.

Well I remember all the old school Oilers
Just like they were family.
Dishman, the Tyler Rose, and
White Shoes Billy.

Where did you go Steve McNair?
Why did you leave us Eddie George?
All I know is you're gone to Tennessee
Been gone for so, so long now, Tennessee
Don't know if I want you back, Tennessee

I know I've messed it up and can't remember much else but there was something about expansion rumors being a dream and how we don't want them back from "fcking Tennessee."

Like said before, I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan and think the silver and blue uniforms rule. So I didn't pay attention to or appreciate the Oilers unis growing up.

But looking at these pics, those Oilers digs are the absolute teeeets.

I completely forgot about Chris Chandler.

Crystal Chandelier was there for a couple of years and played the equivalent of three games.

One of my favorite pictures:

Seeing this pictures of "The snake" reminded me of this:

I always thought it was beer, didn't realize until I found this picture it was cola.

I had a Bucky Richardson Oilers Jersey while at A&M. Used to wear it a lot. No idea what happened it. Probably ****-canned it after anti-Christ Adams took the team away.

These photos bring up a deep pain in my heart. Just absolutely gut wrenching.

I have no recollection of Woody Harrelson ever being our QB.
