    Yeah most Nashville residents are annoyed with the Oilers history. Most hate when the Titans wore the Oilers unis last season. My response is... if you wanted a new team without any history then you should have waited to buy an expansion team. Deal with it.

    Another thing that I noticed is that most of the Oiler fans are some of the most knowledgeable on the message boards. Go figure!!!

    Nashville would never have gotten an expansion team. Despite being like the 25th largest market in the nation. Cincinnati, St.Louis, Atlanta & Charlotte would all have not liked having another team on their fringe. Just my opinion. Now I always knew Nashville would support the NFL, just like I know Nashville would support NASCAR, but Nashville would never have 'built it and they will come' Only reason that stadium is there is cause BA was comming too town. Again just my thoughts on it.

    I hear you. However, this subject just always annoys me because there are plenty of oiler/titan fans out here holding it down.

    It's also hypocritical for people to say that you should respect the history of the game and then just spit on the history of the Oilers. Bud founded the Oilers...hell Modell didn't create the Browns so he could care less if Cleveland got the history back.

    Yeah...I really wish that they would stop this nonsense. Another member of MCM did the same thing in a podcast with shutdown corner. Basically, the host told him that the oiler retro unis were awesome. MCM member told him that he could care less about the oiler unis and couldn't wait until they stopped wearing them.

    I wasn't at that game, but I certainly remember the countless times where you could basically hear the away team's quarterback calling audibles. It was eerily quiet, and it was a Southwest airlines style pick your seat.

    Nice post... As someone who had to do exactly what you said about an expansion team, absolutely sucks!!! I have great and some very fond memories of the Oilers and I miss that.

    I somehow wish those memories, (i.e. Earl, Pastorini - the Luv Ya Blue days remained Houston's memories - which they do, but Tennessee owns those records and memories, now)....

    How could Tennesseee fans not be proud of that history??? I know for a fact, Titans fans like Childress -DO & "get it".....
