WhoDey93285 Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 They are the Titans now. Since several years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Antonio Bengal Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 The Oilers moved to Nashville. Unlike the NBA, the organization opted for a name change. Why the NBA has jazz in Utah, grizzles in Memphis, and lakes in Los Angeles is beyond me. Anyway, they changed the name to the Titans which not only alliterates with Tennessee, but there's also a full scale model of the Parthenon in Nashville. However, I prefer the name "Flaming Thumbtacks" originally bestowed by TMQ's Gregg Easterbrook because of the apperance of the Titans logo.

BengalszoneBilly Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 The Oilers moved to Nashville. Unlike the NBA, the organization opted for a name change. Why the NBA has jazz in Utah, grizzles in Memphis, and lakes in Los Angeles is beyond me. The NFL teams that move don't always change names, although I believe they should. I mean take the Arizona Cardinals for instance. That name worked in St. Louis, especially for sports fans! Buy one red "Cardinals" T-shirt, and you're good to go about all year round! But in Arizona? I don't think so. I've lived in Arizona since '88, and I cannot remember ever seeing one single Cardinal flyin' around in the desert, or up in the ponderosa pine forests where I live. Ever! It sure seems out of place as compared to the Indianapolis Colts, which for whatever reason doesn't seem too bad to me.As far as the name Browns not going to Baltimore with the team, I'll venture a guess and say Baltimores fans are happy about that!

B24 Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Werent they the Houston Oilers, then the Tennessee Oilers, then changed to Titans? I thought thats how it was, or was it straight to Titans? That sound right. Houston Oilers, Tennessee Oilers and then Tennessee Titans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Antonio Bengal Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 After moving to Tenessee, the team was called the Oilers for the first year. The second year, the name was changed to Titans. Besides, isn't there now a new rule that the name of the team stays with the city rather than with the organization (at least for the NFL)?

jamesbrooks21 Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 I believe the Oilers didn't change their name until they went into their new stadium because for a while there they were playing in Vanderbilt's stadium. They didn't want to make the change until the stadium was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to sit there and stare at the screen at drool at the hot guys.Barbie, are you that ignorant?I really only pay attention to the Bengals, I really dont care about who sold who.

Either way, investigate before trying to talk smack on a heavy hitting fansite.Or maybe you should go back to driving that minivan with the soccor ball sticker on the hatch--with your cellular permantly attached to your ear driving 50 in the left lane in a 65-mph zone with the 6 screaming kids in the back?????
