This will be fun!!!!!!!

The Chiefs "throwback" look will feature helmets with gray facemasks and a Texas-shaped decal with a gold star showing the location of the city of Dallas. Jerseys for the club's "throwback" games will include a patch that honors the AFL's 50th anniversary.

Kansas City will don these replica uniforms when they host the Dallas Cowboys at Arrowhead Stadium and against two AFC West opponents yet to be determined (one home date and one away date).

I remember watching the Dallas Texans first pre-season game. It was held in Abilene and they played the New York Titans (Jets). The Titans coach was Slingling Sammy Baugh , hence the Abilene site. Sammy was from Sweetwater and was a longtime coach at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene. There were lots of Texas players on both teams, one of my heros Jim Swink from TCU was playing for the Texans.

Wouldn't it be great if UNT had a throwback game and sported the flying worm era unis? My guess is that this would be a bit too pricey...more than sporting black Kmart jerseys for a single game anyway.

Just pulling things into the scope of this area of the forum. ;)

I was a Dallas Texan fan before I was a Cowboy fan. I knew a lot of the original Texans because a fraternity brother was their business manager and because I wanted Abner Haynes to succeed. Abner sure didn't disappoint as the first AFL Player of the Year.

I attended their first practice at old P.C. Cobb Stadium. There must have been 200 trying to make the roster. That was a great memory and I'm looking forward to the Chiefs-Cowbows game for a little nostalgia.

Some of my best "early" pro football memories revolve around when I was a "member" of the "Dallas Texans Huddle Club" as a youngster. I remember one game in the Cotton Bowl where it was so cold that my Dad actually started a small fire in the stands (yes, he sure did) to help keep us warm, and then one game with so few fans that the team came into the stands to shake our hands! I loved the Texans and wanted them and not the Cowboys to stay in Dallas. When Lamar Hunt lost the coin toss, it was a bad day for me...I recall a Texans/Houston Oilers game going to overtime, I recall the NY Titans and the Boston Pats...man, great days in the Cotton Bowl.

Love the helmet...where in the world did that come from?

Have always had a bit of a soft spot in my heart for the Chiefs knowing they were Lamar's team and were once the Dallas Texans...man, that EJ Holub (spelling) could hit and Abner could run...such great memories.

Not as strange as Tennessee playing a game last week with an oil derrick on their helmet.

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Team transportation to San Antonio

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?
