LUV YA BLUE

Daddy_Freddie · Answer

I grew up during the "Luv Ya Blue" era and still remember the Dan Pastorini pass that was ruled out of bounds...if we would have had HD and all the camera angles we have today then...I still think Houston got jobbed against Pittsburgh in that game...

Now on to the subject of this thread...I LOVED the quote he game when someone asked him about how good of a coach someone was and he said..."He can take yours and beat his'n and take his'n and beat yours!"

I was living in Houston when Bum and The Tyler Rose, Earl Campbell, came along. Good times.

I remember going to the Houston AstroDome. I got to park free since I rode a motorcycle. Their cheeleading squad, the Derrick Dolls were in full effect. Nice. The beer vendor would yell "Coldest foam in the Dome!"

Back in the day, ladies would sell Avon beauty products door to door. They had a commercial on TV. You'd hear a doorbell, and then a ladies' voice............"Avon calling!"

So the Oilers had this linebacker named Avon Riley. Whenever he would make a stop/tackle/pass breakup..............they would ring a doorbell the sounded just like the one in the commercial!

After one playoff defeat, Bum said "This year, we were knockin' at the door. Next year, we're kickin' the DAMN DOOR IN!"

Great coach, great memories

Remember a playoff interview when the reporter asked Bum why he took his wife on all the road games when other wives would stay home. Bum replied“‘Cause she’s so homely, I can’t stand to kiss her goodbye!”
