I was a big time Oiler fan from 1977 till they left town, I was at a lot of those games and it was cheap then. I got standing room only tickets on the ground level and stood behind the back fence at mid field and could see everything great, $5.00 for the ticket and $1.50 for a 20 oz beer, Luv Ya Blue!!!
Been watching the Cowboys since 1970. I miss The Houston Oilers. The Texans need to petition Bud Addams daughter for the Oilers name and bring it back to Texas.
I am a Lifelong Steelers fan, but I always loved the "Luv Ya Blue " Houston Oilers. They always handled themselves with class, and that comes from their leader Bum Phillips. He was, is, and always will be my favorite coach of all-time.
R.I.P. Bum, heaven just got a great head coach.
And I must say the same of Chuck Noll. Definitely a class act.
As a lifelong Oilers fan, may I say you Mr. Papa are a very classy and cool dude. As soon as we lost the Oilers I found it very easy for me to casually root for the Steelers, I think it was out of respect and nostalgia for that rivalry we had so long ago.
@@woodson21 When the Steelers didn't make the playoffs in 1980, because of the Oilers beating them in week 14, I wanted the Oilers to win the Super Bowl that season. That's because of the Steeler-Oiler rivalry being built on mutual respect.
Bum and Earl always handled themselves with class. And I don't know if I've ever seen an NFL fan base love their team as much as those Luv Ya Blue Oilers.
It sucks that in today's society nothing like this whatever happened again. The NFL has been ruined.
I was a young kid, but I was there. I remember my dad getting home from work and telling me and my mom “ we’re going to the Dome “. Thanks Dad.
Great memory!!!!!!
We did the same thing, I was talking to my 91yr old dad about that tonight.
Remember that's a reception for a losing team. Wow, bum was the man
I'm a die hard Texan fans but I had the last of the oilers in the 90's as a child in my life. I would've loved to witness the oilers during the luv ya blue era.
It was truly something. As a diehard Houston sports fan I absolutely loved those times.
I was a die hard Oiler fan in the 70's & 80's both Jan '79 & '80 welcome home celebrations were great, the second one in Jan '80 all of Houston was going crazy, people packed the freeways... The Dome shook, the video doesn't show how many fans were standing around the Dome. BTW No one in Houston liked Bud Adams!
@@pyrotek40 yeah I can tell no one liked him no love lost here took away our team behind a stadium? I’m like we sucked at the time they moved who would want a new stadium anyways? Nothing was wrong with the astrodome.
Still love that Bum Phillips quote...I dont care that that the Cowboys are Americas team the Oilers are Texas' team
You don’t see stuff like this anymore, I love the Oilers and I miss them so much
You don’t need to miss them! They still come home once a year for their loyal fans.
Titan up.
Me too.
The Luv Ya Blue era was short lived, but the people who were around back then know that it was a special time.
Luv Ya Blue aint over. They'll be back.
Luv ya Blue! The Derrick Dolls! Such wonderful memories from my childhood!
Greatest coach in history. Knew his shit and was a good ol boy. Family BBQs with his team while going over plays. That's how ya do it son.
I was at that big welcome home party! My mom took me and 11 of my best buddies, and we had a blast. We were on the morning show Good Morning America the next morning. My mom, me and my friends toasting the camera with beers ( yes we were underage but this was a whole other time ago and people weren't so tightly wound up and their butts didn't tighten up over everything especially stupid bs. But omg, what a fun night we had. Didn't get home until around 3 am. Oilers didn't get into the dome until after midnight. One of my favorite memories from my teenage years ❤️
RIP Bum Philips!! Luv Ya Blue!!!
if any of those games had been in Houston. ...
...and Those 2 CONTINENTAL TRAILWAYS BUSES LOOKED GOOD Too....!
LONG LIVED CONTINENTAL TRAILWAYS:> "SIVER and GOLDEN EAGLE BUSES".
I was a diehard Raider fan for many years and I remember Bum’s famous knock on the door, beat on the door, kick the sumbitch in speech. How could you not love Bum? John Madden and Bum were two of the great character coaches of the 70s. Now they’re all a bunch of Nike wearing cookie cutters that speak in clichés
Totally agree about the Bum and Madden.
There are some people throughout generations of nfl teams and coaches that are simply impossible to dislike. For me there are 5 that stand out. In no certain order.
1. Dandy don Meredith 2. Ryan Fitzpatrick 3. Dave krieg 4. Tom landry and 5. Ol bum.
in houston texas we love our football we have best fans in the nfl
He will be coaching the heaven football team
People could identify with Bum and the players back then. Several of the players lived in my neighborhood.
So that's where one of my favorite bass guitar players Michael Henderson got the line from on the song" Wide Receiver" 🤣🤣🤣 awesome 👍😎!
I'm a diehard Broncos fan. I absolutely loved the Bum Phillips Era Oilers. They were fun to watch and very competitive. To me it seemed once they fired Bum the Luv ya Blue started to fade and then they moved. A damn shame. They seemed such a part of the Houston fabric.
Only 15 but I know the oilers and wished they were still here best of times I can already tell rest in peace bum you and earl campbell were two peas in a pod
The ironic thing is, on the same day, the Rams, who WON the NFC championship, had abt. 3,000 fans to greet them upon returning to LA.
I remember the Houston Oilers fight song
I remember watching this at my inlaws house. Lol my German motherinlaw couldn't believe he said sonofabitch on tv.
A love for a team
I watched the oilers in the 80s and 90s as first a teen and then a 20 something. Even though a fins fan. The oilers were a close 2nd. Cool unis . The likes of Earl campbell and Warren moon.
I so wish the city would've done to bud adams what the city of Cleveland did to art Modelle , kept the name,history and colors and forced the titans to be like the ravens. A virtual expansion team.
The texans could never be the same as the oilers.
Mr Bud Adams is the guy who decided to move the Oilers to Tennessee, so everyone said, "Take your ass and go, but you gotta leave the name and colors here, but your sorry ass can go. I can assure you that Tennessee fans will never love their team the way we loved the Oilers, and the players knew that, and they weren't happy about the move either and the fans in Tennessee have yet come even close to celebrating their team the way we celebrated the Oilers even through all the loosing we still were there for them
Now they need to make a documentary about the Derrick Dolls...Not as well known as the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, but very fond of southeast Texas area
The stupidest trade of the late 70,s. Pastorini for an aging Stabler 1-4 in AFC championships. Missed 78-79 playoffs and Bum gives Al Davis a Superbowl after Pastorini breaks a leg. God! I hate the Davis,s.
I would SOOOOO LOVE to be one of the Derrick Dolls Cheerleaders!!!
My Senior Prom date was a future Derrick Doll.
I worked with a lady who's sister was a Derrick Doll. She was absolutely a beautiful lady and if I remember correctly one of the first black women to be a Derrick Doll. Our office was literally within throwing distance from the Dome so we had a couple of Derrick Dolls come over and have lunch with us. Very sweet girls. After meeting them I had a newfound respect for professional cheerleaders. The nonsense that they are willing to put up with and basically end up paying to be a cheerleader has always amazed me
Sadly, the following year it was Bum Phillips who got kicked OUT of Houston and headed to New Orleans.
The OILERS got CHEATED by the REFS in that STEELERS GAME RENFRO CAUGHT THAT BALL HOUSTON would have gone to the SB if not for that play..
great vid. BUT wrong info. oilers lost to the steelers in 1978/1979 and oakland in 1980. rip bum.
You're wrong. This was a playoff game in January, 1980...therefore it goes with the 1979 season. The person who posted the video had it right.
Happens in Seattle yearly.
NOTHING like this happens in Seattle, or anywhere. Second year in a row of loss to get to Super Bowl and 70,000, more than could fit in the Astrodome showed up and lined the streets and freeways from the airport to the Astrodome. This whole city was flying high for those LUV YA BLUE years. Everywhere you went. It permeated the entire city. It was very exciting to witness.
The NFL isn’t worth watching today! It’s nothing but a 70 passes per game now. No running game to speak of! No fullbacks! Vastly overpaid and overrated players! Officiating SUCKS! Defenses cannot tackle. The defense has their hands tied behind their back! Just absolutely sucks as a sporting event! But, these days were Great to watch!
I STILL FOR THE LIFE OF ME CANNOT understand WHY Bud Adams fired Bum Phillips after the 1980 season!!! It doesn't make ANY sense!!
Seems almost as stupid as an owner doing everything he can to piss off his stud young generational talent QB to the point where he runs him out of town.
Bud Adams knew he could make more money off of a loser than a winner so he ran the team worse than Irsay in Baltimore.
I think the GM (Ladd Herzeg) was in Bud's ear. He wanted Bum to hire an offensive coordinator, and he wouldn't.
But the owner sells the team and the rights of the uniforms and colors to Tennessee some love for the fans such ashame RIP Coach Bum Phillips who also was fired for three winning seasons some love it's all about money that was the owners God such ashame
He didn't sell them. He moved them
The bambino is. Blind lol it was clearly a catch and NFL and roselle had to admit it was a catch so shut up with that bs comment wow Stevie wonder could see it was catch feet possession TD
If your talking about the Renfro call, it was a catch. Officials blew that call badly.
Didn't work out TOO WELL for Bum now dit it, lol !??
Fuck you
One thing we can agree is it brought on instant replay Mike Renfro was in bounds on the frozen tundra of three rivers! And I love to hate Terry Bradshaw every time I tune in to FOX and would have voted for Lynn Swan!
Well, I have to disagree ! Renfro SLIGHTLY bobbled that ball on the way out of bounds so the refs call WAS CORRECT ! But I KNOW you don't see it that way, lol !!
Well, I have to disagree. That's total bullshit and the instant replay by the network proved it. The Oilers got robbed and some Steeler players from that time have admitted it was a terrible call.
Oh REALLY YOU MORON ?? I've never heard ANY STEELER PLAYER admit ANY SUCH THING and they NEVER WILL because what you said is A CROCK OF SHIT LOSER !!
They never should've left Houston.
