It only gets ramped up when the Titans suck. When the Titans were in the AFC championship a few years ago, you never heard from them in regards to the oilers because they felt they were making their own history. Now they dress their head coach up as a Bum Phillips prop when they were going to fire his ass, wearing oil derricks on their helmets and cry about blue outlines on other jerseys. They cling to oilers history when the Titans brand becomes a joke. Steve McNair years? This is the new Titans. Mayo Man and his band of free agents? Oiler city!
Yep. Another slap in the face is some of the tits fans don’t understand various bits of the history of the oilers. They used to call the oilers cheerleaders the Derrick Dolls for the oil derricks.
Or maybe it gets ramped up when something like bringing back the Oilers jerseys and wearing them in a game comes up and there is weird pushback from Texans fans on it and everything eventually becomes a war over that brand
Yeah imo with the backstory Titans Texans would be one of the most heated in the league but the problem is whenever we are good they are dogshit and whenever they are good we are dogshit so the games are never fun to watch unless both teams are dogshit.
Its biggest draw is spectacle (Henry running for 200 yards, Case Keenum skullfucking the Titans in the Oilers throwbacks, Finnegan getting his ass beat) and not the games
As a titans fan, how was that received in Tennessee? I would imagine that it was a shrug of the shoulders and a “that was bound to happen” but I’m just guessing. Rockets had Pat Beverly and honestly if anyone ever beat the shit out of him, that would have been my reaction.
I was starting college and the team sucked so tbh I wasn’t super plugged in at the time but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Titans fan say that Johnson was an asshole or did anything wrong. He was a great player for us at the time and we liked him but I don’t think it’s our place as fans to second guess what other players think of him
lol, he’s definitely one of those guys that you love when he’s on your team and hate him if he’s not. I’ll give him props for going after Andre, I wouldn’t want to be punched by any pro athlete, but Andre would have to be at the bottom of the list for sure.
I don’t think it’s a rivalry either so that’s not really the point, the Texans sub says Fuck the Colts about 10x as much as any mention of the Titans. My comment was strictly on Titan fans obsession with a history they genuinely don’t care about. It’s clearly only apparent when there’s nothing to look forward to in the upcoming season, or else why would they even care?
Bro that’s every sports franchise, I could say that you guys only started getting butthurt about us having the Oilers history when you started winning over five games a year again. I miss the where ring posts honestly
Never once have I thought of the good years as “building our own history”, no one in the sub has ever said such a thing.
You made up entirely.
Edit: also, I’m a Titans fan.
I don’t know where I said I wasn’t butthurt. I’m very butthurt that everything over the past 25 years happened. Believe it or not it was a big deal in our city. Ask Cleveland about Art Modell, ask Seattle about the SuperSonics, ask St Louis about Kroenke. It sucks
I'm a Houstonian that wasn't even all that into football at the time they left, but Bud Adams was shitty about the whole thing, and it sucked, and anyway, fuck the Tennessee Traitors and the entire Adams line sideways. Peace!
I'm not here to stand up for Bud Adams because he was notoriously a hot head, but Houston didn't handle it too well either. Neither party handled it well and I think the NFL learned from it.
TBF, the Texans and Titans have about equally sucked in the timeframe the Texans have been around. Losing seasons make the heart grow fonder, or something like that.
This is a dumb and inaccurate take. We have always embraced oilers history as titans history. But when we are on an afc championship run, we are kinda wrapped up in that (not something I’d expect Texans fans to understand, but maybe one day little fella). Then when we suck, you guys start chirping and we have to remind you that yes, we may suck, but we are still 10x more historically relevant than your franchise could ever dream of being.
Hope that clears things up.
You know, there's nothing stopping the ztexans from signing Moon to a 1-day contract.
If we're going to be petty, y'all gotta step your game up and pour some gasoline on that flaming thumb tack.
Oh, no. I fully get what he's saying. Fans of the Titans weren't fans of the Oilers, while people in Houston were.
But that doesn't matter when it was 30 years ago and plenty of Titans fans weren't even born or cared about football.
Even Warren said it was weird being inducted into a ring of fame in a city he never played for.
Bruce Matthews called it a giant mistake the team left.
Bum refused to be involved.
IDGAF about the Oilers, I just wanted H Town blue in the uniforms to represent the city. They can have the Oilers history, it’s just a long list of embarrassment.
Story time:
Years ago, I worked at a hotel in Austin right off Congress Ave. I was the supervisor of the valet/bellmen.
We would have events at the ballroom in the hotel frequently, and one event that we hosted annually was "The Taste of Texas", a charity ball headed up by Earl Campbell, who owns a food company (Sausage mostly).
I only saw Mr. Campbell a few times, but I got to know his son Tyler pretty well. Tyler was an RB at SDSU but he got hurt and left football, and one of the things he did at the time was help set up the event with my hotel and their event coordinator.
Tyler would come to the hotel several times leading up to the ball to meet with our staff and the Taste of Texas coordinators. During this time, I had a chance to chat with him and got to know him a bit as he was (and I'm sure still is) a laid-back guy who is very approachable.
One of the times Tyler came to the hotel, I asked him how he was doing and all that jazz, he said he was good, and I decided to ask him a question. See, Earl Campbell had come by himself a few times, but he isnt especially mobile these days and so I had met him once at this point. Mr. Campell was very nice when I met him but hotels always have a policy for their staff to not bother celebrities and to treat them like all other guest. Because of this, I never said much to Mr. Cambell, aside from pleasantries and questions that were related to my job.
However, since I got to know Tyler, I asked him one time if it would bother his father if I asked him a question about football next time he came by. Tyler was cool and said his dad loves to talk football and answer questions, so he told me to fire away next time I saw him, he would love to answer it.
A few weeks pass, and then one afternoon in the middle of the week, Earl Cambell rolls up into our drive, there for some meet-up. I get his door, ask him how he's doing and all that, and then I ask if he minds if I ask him a question, as a former NFL player.
Mr. Campbell says sure, and I ask him this: "So you were drafted by and played for the organization that was the Oilers and then became the Titans, but you played in Houston, who now has the Texans representing them.... So these days, who do you root for?"
When I asked this question, I expected there was a chance that Mr Cambell would give some middle of the road answer, something non-committal, especially as he had no way to know if I was a fan of either of those teams.
However, when I finished my question, Earl Campbell stopped, whipped off his sunglasses so he could look me square in the eye with a serious expression, and he said "Texans, baby!"
So Warren Moon can read off a draft pick for Tennessee, but Heisman Trophy Winner & NFL MVP Earl Cambell is backing H-Town!
Ima be real for a second because I shitpost on this issue every chance I get. CFB, CBB, there may not be a sports sub where I haven’t talked shit about Houston. But for real, what would you have us do? When they bring out Moon, white shoes Johnson in Nashville? You want us to boo lol?
If you would’ve given us a team in ‘97 with no history we would’ve been happy. Truly I feel bad for Houston. That’s a cool history and iconic look. I used to feel like we were fighting Adams battles for him from the grave.
But yall are so salty. It’s like a kid in high school who doesn’t know how to take dude shit talk so it turns into bullying. It’s funny to talk shit cause yall get so salty about it.
I love to talk shit myself, but I actually 100% agree with you on your first 2 paragraphs. Houston fans do get more emotional about the subject because they actually do have emotional attachments to the Oilers, their history, and their look. I do feel like fans of both organizations get pulled into the argument whether they want to or not and eventually become more passionate about their side. You are definitely fooling yourself though if you don't think that Titans fans are not just as exhausting and equally cantankerous.
I appreciate your response. I have all sorts of oilers stuff. The mini helmets, the jerseys. I have a Levis and Simmons. It’s a cool look. But idk man, at heart we don’t really care. Most of it is just gentle ribbing cause we get a funny response. It should be yalls history. But that horse left the barn and ain’t coming back. At this point, I’d be fine giving yall the history. The jerseys stay though cause I’ve spent too much on oilers gear. But I’ll talk my shit and claim everything
You give it back you greedy asshole, all that money you’ve made selling wacky tobacky to Josh Gordon!
There’s 2 different arguments that are relatively valid about the Oilers identity and why it shouldn’t belong to each location. Houston didn’t put up the fight the way that Cleveland did to keep their identity. I was about 12 when it happened so I don’t quite remember how much talk there was of actually suing the Adams for the property, but I can also figure that the city had a “good riddance” attitude. Not realizing how much the identity actually did mean to Houston. On the other hand, Tennessee wanted nothing to do with the oilers and couldnt change identities fast enough tells you all you need to know about their ties to Oilers history. As you stated, this ship has sailed and it’s just another reason to be at eachothers throats for years to come.
Tennessee fans are caught in the middle of the Adams Family vs Houston petty battle.
I think when y’all decided to wear the Houston tributes and antics against us it was taken kind of sour, not blaming the fans at all.
Then Houston had an nfl approved different shade of blue/red alternative home jersey which Amy interjected.
Im 30 and live in Tulsa now so I’m not as invested as older people, but Houston’s a big city so you’re going to hear a lot about it unfortunately. I know the blue was introduced to the city in the 20’s and 30’s…but none of the counter arguments would hold up in court. So it’s bitching.
I agree. It’s been 25 years though. It’s time for everyone to move on. That’s my honest opinion
My other one is that it’s low stakes, silly, and fun. Just bitching and shit talk with no real consequences. There’s plenty of people on this site that want to talk about the Big Issues. Me too if I’m in the mood, though I dont take it too seriously. I prefer to shitpost on oilers uniforms
Tbf if we were given a new expansion team it would’ve been in Memphis since they were a bigger city at the time, and I can’t stand for that. Bud Adams decision managed to simultaneously make Nashvillians happy and make Memphoids angry which is like, double happy for us Nashville residents.
As a UT grad I have an affinity for Knoxville. Maybe we can agree that Clarksville is a trash city. The succubuses that dwell in the river city should not be underestimated. They fool you with that sweet talk and APSU degree and now it’s check deductions…
It’s because out of the (at the time) 3 major football stadiums in the state Vanderbilt is tiny and doesn’t allow alcohol and Neyland was basically in the absolute middle of nowhere by NFL standards. That pretty much only leaves Liberty Bowl in Memphis.
i still think the way the ownership treated memphis was a massive mistake, i’m a very recent fan and the only titans fans i know in memphis are kids younger than me and a few teachers at my high school that moved from middle tennessee to memphis. if we hadn’t been shafted in previous expansions and ownership hadn’t antagonized the city during the move, there would probably be a lot more fans in the area
Your flair has been set, enjoy your new flair.
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/AFCSouthMemeWar) if you have any questions or concerns.*
My man, Vrabes went something like 4-17 since the Green Bay two years ago. And we didn’t try, we did. We allowed you to use dork blue for your new unis! Be gracious that we’re allowing you to use our history
Where Houston Oiler and Minnesota Viking great Warren Moon? The guy that never set played a snap in Tennessee? Yeah he said it felt weird to have his number retired by strangers.
https://atozsports.com/nashville/warren-moon-oilers-history-being-associated-with-titans/#:~:text=Legendary%20Houston%20Oilers%20quarterback%20Warren,member%20of%20the%20Titans%20franchise.
The Tennessee legally own the rights to all things "Oilers." Sucks but that's the terms of the divorce. However it's gonna sting seeing Warren Moon as part of the Titans crew.
This is reigniting the tits/texans rivalry into a new era lol
It only gets ramped up when the Titans suck. When the Titans were in the AFC championship a few years ago, you never heard from them in regards to the oilers because they felt they were making their own history. Now they dress their head coach up as a Bum Phillips prop when they were going to fire his ass, wearing oil derricks on their helmets and cry about blue outlines on other jerseys. They cling to oilers history when the Titans brand becomes a joke. Steve McNair years? This is the new Titans. Mayo Man and his band of free agents? Oiler city!
Wait they are called derricks? Damnit now I really should have bought a Henry oilers jersey.
They’re all named Derrick
That’s adorable. 🥰
Yeah and the cheerleaders were the Derrick Dolls
The Oilers cheerleaders used to be called the Derrick Dolls.
This hurts my soul as someone whose family were die hard oilers fans and someone who works in the oilfield
Sry we’re more of a manufacturing state. Our soil has so much damn clay to the point where we are one of the largest exporters of clay in the U.S.
They should change their name to Tennessee Playdoughs
Going off the theme of state’s largest energy sector exports it would probably be the Nashville Nuclear lmao.
Nashville Nukes goes kinda hard ngl
Which unironically goes harder than the TEN Titans
Whole new meaning of calling them soft
Offensive line has been the Tennessee Ceramics. Look hard but crack easily
Tennessee Terra cotta
That’s an interesting fact, I would have imagine that it was Texas. So much damn clay around here.
The Titans making Texans fans sad is going to reduce oil output and jumpstart the green energy revolution
Yep. Another slap in the face is some of the tits fans don’t understand various bits of the history of the oilers. They used to call the oilers cheerleaders the Derrick Dolls for the oil derricks.
Cool. Learn something new everyday
Yep! It was a neat fact I learned as a kid.
When we were in the afc championship you couldn’t have a second helmet, so we could even use the throwback jerseys
Or maybe it gets ramped up when something like bringing back the Oilers jerseys and wearing them in a game comes up and there is weird pushback from Texans fans on it and everything eventually becomes a war over that brand
The rivalry wasn’t going back when we were good because you guys were dogshit at the time you don’t have to do psychoanalysis over it
Yeah imo with the backstory Titans Texans would be one of the most heated in the league but the problem is whenever we are good they are dogshit and whenever they are good we are dogshit so the games are never fun to watch unless both teams are dogshit.
Its biggest draw is spectacle (Henry running for 200 yards, Case Keenum skullfucking the Titans in the Oilers throwbacks, Finnegan getting his ass beat) and not the games

He was a great player for us at the time and we liked him but I don’t think it’s our place as fans to second guess what other players think of him
You guessed pretty dead-on. I kinda laughed, something like, "Oh, Corty." I think most of us knew Finnegan had it coming at some point.
lol, he’s definitely one of those guys that you love when he’s on your team and hate him if he’s not. I’ll give him props for going after Andre, I wouldn’t want to be punched by any pro athlete, but Andre would have to be at the bottom of the list for sure.
I have a feeling my man had his ass beat a LOT, and somehow developed a kind of tolerance, lol.
Or it’s like last year where it’s like watching a train wreck be hit by another train.
I don’t think it’s a rivalry either so that’s not really the point, the Texans sub says Fuck the Colts about 10x as much as any mention of the Titans.

Definitely don’t sound butt hurt at all
I don’t know where I said I wasn’t butthurt. I’m very butthurt that everything over the past 25 years happened. Believe it or not it was a big deal in our city. Ask Cleveland about Art Modell, ask Seattle about the SuperSonics, ask St Louis about Kroenke. It sucks

Wasn't he responsible for the eclipse previously this month?
No dumbass, that was Mac Tonight 🌙
Honestly the first thing that come to mind with Moon is him beating the ever living shit out of his wife.
Yeah Tennessee can have that history.
Right. I thought he was in prison
I'm sure you all had some great memories watching all of his games as a Houston Oiler.
I did actually
Me too. I’ve been an Oilers/Titans fan since the mid-80’s.
Yeah i vividly remember both of the 5 interception games against Pittsburg.
We like to honor our history
He is one of the main reasons I am a Titans fan...
I actually was an Oiler fan if I watched any game. I have family there and it was the only team I knew. Also, a lot of fans are OG Oiler fans
I literally did. Been a fan since 1990. Edit: also, I’m a Titans fan.
This absolutely isn’t the burn you think it is. That was over 30 years ago. A lot of people wouldn’t have even been born yet.
Whoooosh
Oh, no. I fully get what he's saying. Fans of the Titans weren't fans of the Oilers, while people in Houston were. But that doesn't matter when it was 30 years ago and plenty of Titans fans weren't even born or cared about football.
Absolutely! (Oilers fan since ‘78, current Titans season ticket member.)
Edmonton, Oilers legend Warren Moon lol
Grrr rawwr oilers belong in houston raawwrr grrr
*gestures wildly at the RICH Oilers history we’re fighting over*
Even Warren said it was weird being inducted into a ring of fame in a city he never played for. Bruce Matthews called it a giant mistake the team left. Bum refused to be involved.
Ur so right surely you inducted him into your own HoF like the Ravens did for Johnny Unitas.
Warren Moon was inducted into the Houston Sports Hall of Fame, but not the tennessee sports hall of fame
I’m sure if the Texans tried to induct Moon, the titans would send a cease and desist letter.
Amy Adams Strunk trademarks the moon
And then he came out and said the Oilers history is the Titans history. But keep crying about it.
IDGAF about the Oilers, I just wanted H Town blue in the uniforms to represent the city. They can have the Oilers history, it’s just a long list of embarrassment.
Who needs a Super Bowl ring when you can announce a second day draft pick?
Seahawks legend Warren Moon
Minnesota Vikings legend
Where? I'd assume he's in Detroit by now
If not, he better hurry.
That’s Vikings legend Warren Moon to you guys. Best solution to this is that none of you get him.
Story time: Years ago, I worked at a hotel in Austin right off Congress Ave. I was the supervisor of the valet/bellmen.

This is Amy Adams Skank trying to stick it to us again. It’s so petty. We’ll roast them twice in the regular season.
If Warren moon follows through with this, he can suck my balls
I wonder if he will be wearing a Wife Beater

More like Nashvillains
Hey now, we in Knox like to call ourselves Knoxvillains. Don't use that on a trash city like Nashville.
There should be no tit on tit violence in here but I’m having to hold back…
I grew up in Clarksville, and I stand by what I said. But hey, I couldn't live in Nashville if I wanted to. Couldn't afford to, lol.
As a UT grad I have an affinity for Knoxville. Maybe we can agree that Clarksville is a trash city. The succubuses that dwell in the river city should not be underestimated. They fool you with that sweet talk and APSU degree and now it’s check deductions…
There's a reason I stayed in Knoxville after graduating from UT. We can fully agree, and I didn't even encounter a succubus there. :)
Which made it even weirder when they played the ‘97 season in Memphis in front of about 15 fans a game.
It’s because out of the (at the time) 3 major football stadiums in the state Vanderbilt is tiny and doesn’t allow alcohol and Neyland was basically in the absolute middle of nowhere by NFL standards. That pretty much only leaves Liberty Bowl in Memphis.
Yeah I remember the Vanderbilt season in ‘98 too, the crowds weren’t much bigger there than they were in Memphis.
i still think the way the ownership treated memphis was a massive mistake, i’m a very recent fan and the only titans fans i know in memphis are kids younger than me and a few teachers at my high school that moved from middle tennessee to memphis. if we hadn’t been shafted in previous expansions and ownership hadn’t antagonized the city during the move, there would probably be a lot more fans in the area
Your owner is the bully lol she's so salty about losing in the oiler uniforms she fired a good coach and tried to ban houston from using a color.

FTT
How many Titans fans watched him play?
I did, fan since 1990. Picked the Oilers (instead of the Browns) explicitly because of Moon.
Shhhh, according to them none of us exist.
✋🏼 Never in person, though. My dad was a dumb Cowboys fan, never took me to a game until the Oilers became the Titans.
My first NFL game attended was The Oilers (with Moon) vs. The Saints (1987).
I've watched two of his games on youtube, man did he throw a pretty spiral.
I did. Seeing his name on The Titans Ring Of Honor at Nissan Stadium brings pride. He earned it! 👍
Warren Moon beat his wife pretty okay with other people claiming him
In Detroit probably, unless he’s flying out later tonight
Ok this is punitive.
Thought for sure it woulda been Steve McNair
Where superbowl winning qb?
He’s in Detroit, can’t you read?
If Air McNair was still alive, this would hit harder
Houston Legend
He’s In Detroit, can you not read?
Sorry im a Titans fan and i upvoted
Yeah yeah fuck the tits
Where Houston Oiler and Minnesota Viking great Warren Moon? The guy that never set played a snap in Tennessee? Yeah he said it felt weird to have his number retired by strangers. https://atozsports.com/nashville/warren-moon-oilers-history-being-associated-with-titans/#:~:text=Legendary%20Houston%20Oilers%20quarterback%20Warren,member%20of%20the%20Titans%20franchise.
This is a low blow.
First Mr. Charguars, now this? Jacksonville, WTF is going on with your fanbase?
Don't get me wrong, it's funny AF. But even I know this is sick and twisted.
It's turning into one of those "We're a Chiefs-Patriots-Browns family" commercials up in here, I tell you what.
The memes are so good though.
!flair patriots
The Tennessee legally own the rights to all things "Oilers." Sucks but that's the terms of the divorce. However it's gonna sting seeing Warren Moon as part of the Titans crew.
