          Yeah, there is some similarity. A guy who came to the Oiler games was sort of an unpaid mascot, carried a huge wrench and was known as the Roughneck. A coworker had a GM truck painted in Oiler colors (from the factory) with the word "Roughneck" running about half way down the truck.

          Bud was a greedy man. He demanded, and got, expansion of the Astrodome - about 10K seats. The very next year he demanded a brand new stadium. That was poorly received. 30 people showed up for the "Save the Oilers Rally". I was not among them. I was a season ticket holder, but have never been to a Texans game. Too much greed in pro sports, and I'm not a fan of building unnecessary new stadiums.
