I was part of the 46,000 'LUV YA BLUE' fans who showed up at the astrodome after the Oilers lost ('The road to the super bowl goes through Pittsburg') to the Pittsburg Steelers. (Forgot the year)

'79 season.

I was brand new to Houston then and remember it oh, so well. Moved here that season and immediately fell in love with the Oilers.

Then I dated a guy in the late '80s who was a video freak and he copied a tape of his for me of that Pittsburgh game and the following rally at the Astrodome. So I have it on tape where Bud Adams says "Houston...I may be the owner of this team, but this team belongs to YOU!"

Yeah, right Bud. Whatever.

"I was brand new to Houston then and remember it oh, so well. Moved here that season and immediately fell in love with the Oilers."

I was there from 1975-1994. I threw in the towel on the Oilers when they blew the 33 point lead against Buffalo. I've never watched another Oiler game after that.
