18 Years Goes By So Fast..
Forever grateful toward the Texans.
Thanks for the memory jog. I don't remember where I was,but I heard on WWL the Texans signed
Mario Williams and would make him the 1st overall selection. The drafting of Bush was a foregone
conclusion then.

I also remember watching the Lions game in the 2005 season. It was either the last or next to last game
in that forgettable season. We were leading late. If we lost we'd be drafting 2nd. If we had won we would
have been drafting 5th. I always want the Saints to win,but it was the only game in the history of my
fandom I didn't care that we lost. If we had drafted 5th the selection would have been AJ Hawk or
D'Brickashaw Ferguson. Both were good players,but they would not have bought the same excitement
as Bush that we desperately needed after Katrina.
