Bye, bye BYE week!

That was an ugly loss in Pittsburgh, I’m glad we
got the break of the Bye week because that performance needed to be put
far away from what we need to do this week. I, like most all the
guys, used those few days to rest up, relax, heal nagging injuries and
just get away from the job for a little bit. Some guys go back to
their hometown or colleges and others stay here in Nashville for R&R, but we all enjoy the few days off from the
normal routine of practice and game day.

Now that things have picked back up after the five day break in the
season, all the guys are back in the building
getting work done and we have to get this win. For one, it’s Houston,
but also because we have half a game lead in our AFC South Division
and we can extend it with another win. Houston has a good team this
year, but I think we have a better one if we come out to play. The
Texans are coming to our house at LP Field and we need to let them
know right from the start that it is our house they are stepping into.
It will be a hard-nosed game and should be a good one!

The weather
is supposed to warm up some after this cold front that hit earlier
this week, so there are no excuses…pack your tailgate, put on your Titan
blues and get your mind ready to cheer us on at LP as loud as you
can. We feed off of your energy and need the support of our 12th man
when we are out on the grid-iron!

Over the bye week I got away from Nashville, but not away from
football. A few friends and I took a short road trip to Auburn, AL
for the weekend. It was my first time back to the Plains since the
2003 or 2004 Georgia game. I was welcomed back with pre-game field
passes and premium seats for the game. I have to admit, it’s only the
3rd or 4th game I have been to a a spectator and fan, so it was
different, but a good relaxing time and that is what I needed during
the time off. Auburn proceeded to beat the Florida Gators that night
and Toomers Corner was rolled before we could get there. I threw a
few rolls of toilet paper in the trees myself, helping blanket the
trees in white. The weekend brought back a lot of old memories and I’m
sure I’ll be back to visit again in the future and more often.

Until next time,
