LUV YA BLUE FANS VS FOOTBALL FANS

THE FIGHT

If you think the fighting between the republican and democratic party is wild, come to Houston and listen to Luv Ya Blue fan versus Football fan.  Like our political structure with certain factions siding with the major parties, the same applies in Houston.  Example: The Tea Party typically sides with the republican whereas Gun Control activist side with democrats.  In Houston, the social "I just want to party and I am glad we have a team" sides with Luv Ya Blue and the younger generation is aligned with the Common Sense crowd.  None of this is an exact but for the most part, you have those that are living in nostalgia of the "Glory Days" and then you have those that are looking forward. 

The person observing the dynamics of the fan base is Bob McNair.  Currently, it appears he believe theres more equity in Luv Ya Blue fans.  Maybe he's right, if I was in his position and witnessed a whole city obsessed with a team that didn't win it all, I would try to replicate that obsession for myself, the hell with those fans that demand the little things like winning, accountability and playoffs.

LUV YA BLUE FANS

According to Wikipedia:"Luv Ya Blue" was the term given to a movement by fans of the Houston Oilers of the National Football League in the late 1970s that featured fight songs, pom-poms and other features more reminiscent of the college game than the NFL.

As I am describing Luv Ya Blue Fan, it should be noted, we all love Luv Ya Blue but there is a segment of fan that want that model dictating the Texans.  LYB fan is the fan and media old enough to remember the Kick The Door Down speech.  This is the fan that really consider what people affiliated with the Oilers in the 70s say as the gospel.  This is the fan that will attend all of the many Oiler reunions that seem to occur every other month.  This is the fan that will seriously consider bringing in Dan Pastorini as Offensive Coordinator. 

LYB fan is accompanied by "Social Fan".  Social fan may be the key to all of this, Social fan is synonymous with the Independent Party, they are unpredictable.  They just wan to get out there and have a good time, it's all about supporting your team and being with friends because this is only football.  Social fan makes it very hard to argue against because in the grand scheme, social fan is absolutely correct.  It is only entertainment.

In my opinion, John McClain and Barry Warner would be the ones I deem as Luv Ya Blue catalyst.  I can picture John McClain, Wade Phillips, Barry Warner, & Gary Kubiak sitting in dome drinking Coors Light screaming "WE ARE F*KN BACK".

HOUSTON REALITY FOOTBALL FAN

Football Fan respects Luv Ya Blue fan but they are looking at Luv Ya Fan like "dude, that shit don't mean anything in 2011".  Football fan can be a tad be obnoxious with winning in Houston sense they are constantly battling Titan and Dallas fan in addition to the occasional defending the Houston Rockets title with the absence of Michael Jordan.  Football fan will commonly ask himself, if their was no Earl Campbell, would their even be a Luv Yu Blue era.  Should Luv Ya Blue be named Luv Ya Earl?  Football fan really hate Clay Walker's song "Football Time In Houston", when this song is played, football fan runs to the rest room, grab a stall and sticks toilet tissue in his/her ears.  Football fan is not completely sold on Luv Ya Blue team being the best Oiler team, some of us think a couple of the Moon teams may have a say so.  All in all, football fan wants to win and move forward.  Football fan can appreciate the historical achievements of Luv Ya Blue but Luv Ya Blue should not be a decision factor in 2011.
