My husband believes that they chose the "Texans" for a specific reason.
Sort of like the middle finger to Dallas . Simply making a statement
that we are the true Texan team and the Cowboys are not. Though I'm sure
that Dallas feels the exact same way regarding their team. Oh well...I
guess there will always be that state rivalry for as long as Texas is a
state (didn't we once try to become our own country?).
