Posse Poll: Is Titans vs. Texans a rivalry?

November 23rd, 2009 by Rogersworthe | No Comments | Filed in AFC South

Arguments for:

  • Well the obvious. Houston used to have a team called the Oilers. The Oilers then moved to Nashville and became the Titans. The Texans were then created in Houston. This gave a team to Houston to root for against the team that left them originally.
  • Inter-division games always seem to matter (when in reality, they have very little bearing on the way things play out, except that they play each other twice).
  • Bud Adams is hated in Houston.

Arguments against:

  • Rivalry games are rarely based on external influences. Rivalries are based on two good teams that play each other when they’re both good multiple times for a lot, if not all, of the marbles. Naturally the Colts should be archrivals with the Ravens since the Colts left etc., etc. But they’re not. Nobody really cares. Colts-Patriots on the other hand attracts over 25 million viewers each time they play. Why? Because those teams are good and have been good for a decade and have played each other several times.
  • I can’t speak for  Texans fans, but for Titans fans this game is 4th on the list, if not lower. For me, it’s definitely 5th or so. The Ravens is #1 by a mile for the Titans, followed by the Colts. The Colts game is always huge for Titans fans. Why these two? Because the Titans have played, beaten, and lost to both these teams in the playoffs at some point. Following them would be Jacksonville. While this rivalry has faded in recent years due to both teams never being good at the same time, the Titans and the Jaguars have played several meaningful games in their history. In all honesty, I don’t think the Titans and Texans have ever played for anything more meaningful than pride.
  • The Titans are 11-4 vs Houston since the franchise was founded. Too lopsided to be a rivalry.

My personal verdict is no. It’s a division game. It certainly carries more importance than say Titans vs. Rams, but no. It is not a rivalry game to me.

What do you think? VOTE NOW!!!!

T-Rac’s NFL Great Games Preview: Week 10

November 13th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | No Comments | Filed in Rest of the NFL

Obviously I am a huge Tennessee Titans fan. But, like many of you, I am also a huge NFL fan. So I am adding a new feature where I name the other games I am interested in watching and why. At the end, there will be a poll for you to pick the game you are also interested in watching. Pretty cool, huh? We’re so interactive here at T-Rac’s Posse. It’s really a democracy. You run the blog, not me. The interest scale for me runs from 1 to 10, with 10 being a Titans game, and 1 being a hockey game.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals: If Cincinnati wins, I’ll be pretty impressed. Cincy is, fairly or unfairly, fighting for legitimacy in this game. Reminds me of the Titans vs. Steelers game a year ago (except we then puked all over the idea of gaining legitimacy by losing 9 straight). Interest Scale: 7.

San Diego Chargers vs. Philadelphia Eagles: Two good teams with coaches who are infamous for dumb decisions and clock management issues. This game will not be decided by talent, but by a retarded coaching move. SIGN ME UP!! Interest scale: 7.5

Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers: Every time you count Dallas in, they lose. Big time. Green Bay still has a good offense hidden in there somewhere. Interest scale: 5

New England Patriots vs. Indianapolis Colts: This is going to be an awesome game. Also, there will be good announcing. I am even contemplating doing a Live Chat for this game. Oh man, this will be good. Interest scale: 9.75.

So, go vote for which non-Titans game interests you the most.

Which NFL Week 10 Game interests you the most?

  • Patriots vs. Colts (73%, 8 Votes)
  • Bengals vs Steelers (27%, 3 Votes)
  • Chargers vs. Eagles (0%, 0 Votes)
  • Cowboys vs. Packers (0%, 0 Votes)

Total Voters: 11

What to expect this upcoming season from T-Rac’s Posse

September 2nd, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 2 Comments | Filed in Tennessee Titans

So, today is a rather slow Titans news day as the cuts were made yesterday and the last preseason game always means the starters play the opening series then come out.

Rest assured though. Next week begins the first NFL season T-Rac’s Posse will be covering and we have some great things coming up for you. Here is an update on the features to expect during the season from us:

  • A Live Game Chat for every single Titans game in which you can chat with the Authors of T-Rac’s Posse and express your feelings on the game as it is going on.
  • Every week we will be having an email exchange with a fan blog from the opposing team. For week 1, we will be taking on the authors from Steelers Today in an epic clash of what I think are 2 of the 3 best teams in the AFC.
  • A weekly fantasy love/hate column from Lando.
  • Opponent Bashing from Spizz. Essentially whoever we play he will just tee up their city, fans, coach, and players and mock them until he can’t think of any more insults. He even went through a trial run for the Hall of Fame game and took Buffalo to task. Pittsburgh, watch out.
  • PosseCasts galore: 2-3 PosseCasts a week, and hopefully, in time, a live radio show. It’s gonna be fun.
  • Updates on the Tennessee Titans Bloggers Fantasy Football League
  • A constantly updated Tennessee Titans News Feed that provides every new story on the Tennessee Titans as soon as it is posted
  • Possibly, just possibly, a T-Rac’s Posse forum in which you will get to talk the Titans all day, all the time. That’s if we get it up and running in time and enough interest is shown.
  • Plenty of other crap I can’t remember right now. You’ll just have to come by and see for yourself.

So to wrap up a fairly non-eventful day for the Tennessee Titans, I present to you our favorite poll. Who do YOU, as a Titans fan, hate the most? Get out and VOTE Titan Nation!! So do. So do.

Which team do you, as a Titans fan, hate most?
