re: Do cowboys and Texans fans coexist or is there hate?

texans fans are like aggie fans. they are little brother and fun to pick on, but they are our little brother and we will still stick up for them if necessary.

All the Texans fans I know hate the cowboys

The Cowboys fans I know give two shits about the Texans and the Saints bc they are not rivals.

Bingo. Texans fans have little brother syndrome. Cowboys fans are too busy hating Philly, Washington, and New York to care.

I grew up in Louisiana but always hated the Cowboys. They are a brand that most people either love or hate. I've always been curious about the Shreveport area and how Saints and Cowboys fans feel about either other over there.

I've lived in the Houston area for over 10 years now. I'm still far and away a Saints fan but root for the Texans also. Even though the Cowboys have been irrelevant for 20 years, I still dislike them. Jerry Jones makes it easy.

I used to pull for both the Rangers and Astros but now it's more of a true rivalry so that has changed.

I like the Rockets but am more of a fan of the NBA in general. I was definitely pulling for the Mavs when they upset the Heat. Although there were one or two series when I pulled for Lebron's team in later years.

Do cowboys fans support the Houston team in the playoffs since they’re in the AFC and still a Texas team?

This isn't CFB. There's no SEC, SEC nonsense at the pro level.

If the Texans make the Super Bowl you can bet that most Cowboy fans will be rooting against them. But under normal circumstances the Cowboys play in a division with decades of hate between all four teams, no time for the Texans. The Saints will never be anywhere near rival territory. In fact Cowboys fans would root for the Saints over most of the NFC and several AFC teams (Pittsburgh, New England, Houston for sure). Right now the Saints are genuinely liked by most fanbases excluding the NFC South because of how fun they are to watch plus the Katrina recovery storyline.

For baseball, no serious Rangers fan roots for Astros success. Full stop. State pride people are fine, but they are not die hard Ranger fans. It is the most underrated MLB rivalry.

NBA hate is there, but the Spurs own both franchises.

I am curious if Houston hockey fans like the Stars.

ETA: a Houston vs Philly/Washington/Giants Super Bowl would probably see most Cowboy fans rooting for Houston.

Yeah it sucks that the championship windows only brushed up against each other for a couple years but now that it’s a real dick measuring contest I feel both teams will be playoff contenders way more often than not. The 2015 and 2016 seasons were so much fun.

(no message)

I agree, I just hope it’s not at the tail end of our good run which is very possible. I would much rather be battling with them than Oakland or the Angels.

To THAT I say.....
