Texans-Bengals Playoff Game
Wish all of you could be with me. Barring that, here's some thoughts, observations from gameday.
sunday morning breakfast
- Haha pg F2 @HoustonChron picture: Kubiak looks like Jack Nicholson in The Shining. #REDRUM lockerz.com/s/172444412
tailgate
- Fan fail. OK to be Cowboy fan. NOT OK to wear Cowboys gear to #Texans game. Bleh. lockerz.com/s/172493870
- Tailgating was big fun. A beautiful day. Really, the only bad thing is that given the number of people and how long they were there, very long lines for the port-o-cans.
inside the stadium
- It was rowdy just walking up the ramps. Tons of energy inside the stadium pregame. Talked to a lot of people who said they cried during the game. I cried. Teared up seeing Bum walk out of the tunnel. Teared up a couple of times at the end.
A day later playoff victory tastes just as sweet! @HoustonTexans http://pic.twitter.com/DhvhqI9d
@StephStradley ok I'm here, just another game if you ask me lol http://pic.twitter.com/f8sH1HTl- Before the game, I felt like I had all the energy in the world. The game itself felt like it went very fast but I was exhausted after the first half. The JJ Watt interception happened right in front of us. That was one of the moments in the stadium where the concrete felt like it was vibrating. It was the loudest game I've ever heard at Reliant.
- @StephStradley They are, but i'm not complaining! The Watt touchdown is one of the most exciting plays i've ever seen!! #Texans
- Why I am sore today...used the bang on the rail, bang on chair technique. lockerz.com/s/172790119
- GOOD JOB FANS! I'M LIVING VICARIOUSLY THROUGH ALL Y'ALL @ RELIANT! C'MON @StephStradley YELL REAL LOUD FOR ME!
- RT @HoustonTexans RB Arian Foster has 24 carries for 153 yds and 2 TDs in the game so far. #Texans
- Thank you to all the @HoustonTexans fans for disrupting the Bengals today. The noise was deafening at Reliant Stadium. #Texans #ThankUFans
RT @HoustonTexans: Good night from Reliant Stadium. What a day! #GoTexans #TexansinPlayoffs http://pic.twitter.com/aiP5leQV- #Texans become 6th team to win playoff game without primary starting QB from reg. season coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/11_48… @footballfacts @StephStradley
- Retweets are endorsements. RT @themightymjd: Pretty happy for @StephStradley right now. This has to feel really good.
- Battery died. Thx to all y'all who sent good wishes my way. Want to hug the whole city. Wow. Big fun RT @HoustonUptown @StephStradley Is MIA
post game
- Tailgating was in fine form after the game. Both inside the game and after the game, folks were celebrating so hard that I thought I was going to be accidentally injured through people's enthusiasm. Forgot to eat dinner, so did an El Rey run at about 9:30 pm and saw the lighting in the Memorial City Mall area. I heard about it but hadn't seen it--they've lighted up the roof tops in red, white and blue.
