ironmic Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 As some of you know i was supposed to be moving to Richmond VA. Well my job decided a better position awaited me in Houston. So here i am the biggest Redskin Slappy in the world moving to enemy territory. Well i had a chance to visit my new Stomping Grounds while searching for a home for my family and I and this is what i came away with. Houston is BEAUTIFUL. The cost of Living in Houston is VERY inexpensive. Nobody and i mean nobody slammed me for being a Skins fan, I got an awful lot of "What they hell is wrong with the Skins" comments. I ran into about 30million Puke fans and the resounding theme was, Has Gibbs Lost it? I even got (Gasp) some intelligent takes on the Skins. I had a long discussion with my new co-workers all of whom agreed that letting go of Pierce set our team back and that everyone in the South is eager to see Jason Campbell. Being from Big Ten country i didn't see much of J. Campbell but they seem to believe from having seen him that he is a stud and will be a star for us. Alot of the Pukes actually want the skins to get better because they look forward to the "Big Showdown". My new Project Lead(Boss) said he actually roots for the skins to do good because as he puts it "He feels sorry for us". His take was that we have to many Chefs in the Kitchen and that Gibbs is throwing the season away by sticking with Brunell. THE RADIO STATIONS: Well i got to hear alot of Sports Talk and one comment that pissed me off was when one of the Guys said, "The Skins mean nothing anymore and that the Boys look forward to the Giants and Eagles and that Gibbs should be embarrased at what the "Million Dollar Boys" have put on the field this year.They went on to comment on how much talent we have on the team and were just baffled by the fact that we have been stinking up the League. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruchizzle Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I live in Del Rio, Tx which is probably one of the worst places to live ever...

Buck812 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Forget the heat....You will hate the humidity much more in the summer. As soon as you walk outside you feel this sudden need to go back in and take a shower again. Other that that its a great place. One of my best friends lives in Clear Lake and he loves it there.

I am used to humidity living in MI i am surrounded by the Great Lakes and it gets COLD in the winter and Hot and Humid in the summer, although i am well aware Houston will be an entirely different type of heat. I will be sweating like ****a Kinte with a white woman. :doh: (Im Black so i guess i can say that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blondie This is my 3rd move and i guess thats the life of someone who works for Dupont. I was born and raised in Ohio "GO BUCKEYS" i transfered to MI and the Wolverines get as much love from me as the Pukes, and Now here come the Lone Star state. I am actually looking forward to the move now that i know that is where i am going but i think, no i know alot of people feel the same way Fred does. Just Because it's TEXAS, it just seem strange for someone to actually live in Texas, but here i come. by the way if you guys didn't hear my Wife has a huge crush on Rachel Ray and i am fine with that.
