Houston Roughnecks It's appropriate and it would tick off a certain BS poster from Tulsa. But until they actually have a name, I'll go with naming them for the most prevalent and ferocious local animal in Houston: Houston Cockroaches
Don't underestimate the mosquitoes there. I swear I saw one the size of a condor when I was outside Houston once.
Andover and Yale are in Texas now??? Cool, hopefully my son can get instate tuition to Yale in 15 years.
Prep school in New England. College and grad school in New England. The mesquite orchard -- err, ranch -- that he has outside of Waco was a campaign prop that he bought in 1999.
So primarily educated means where he went to grade school? I can't find the particulars but I believe he spent much of his grade school days in the DC area, not in Texas. He told stories of going to Texas for the summer, but not being educated there.
i'm almost positive he went to sam houston elementary school. I think we are argueing this point a little too deeply, because my initial joke was not intended to drag us into a morass of political nonsense.
At least Huss knows that it isn't nice to kick fans while they're down. Gotta feel for the quakes fans. Personally I like Houston Cucarachos (or however it is spelled). Roughnecks would be an interesting choice as well.
I actually like Houston Republic, or Republic FC. The badge has to have a lonestar in it, or this country is going to hell.
The city logo may suggest Lokomotiv Houston. http://www.houstontx.gov/abouthouston/cityseal.html Now I know why Enron Field has a big-a$$ steam train in it.
