WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HOUSTON OILERS? // DEFUNCT TEAMS: A SUPER QUICK HISTORY OF THE HOUSTON OILERS

In this All Sports History video we'll look back at what happened to the Houston Oilers and how Bud Adams (the owner) and city never saw eye to eye on a new stadium deal (before the Oilers left Houston).

Here's what this "Houston Oilers History" video covers:

The Houston Oilers were a founding member of the American Football League, a rival of the NFL. The team would become an iconic part of sports culture in Houston. So what exactly led to the team leaving the city they called home for 36 years? In today’s video we’ll look back at how one man’s obsession with wanting to build a new stadium led to the team packing up and leaving for good.

We'll also look back at some Houston Oilers highlights throughout their history, such as how the name was influenced by Texas history. Then we'll go through playoff runs of the "Luv Ya Blue" era during the late 1970's through the early 1990's, featuring matchups like the Houston Oilers vs Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Houston Oilers vs Buffalo Bills. Finally, we'll see how the team's legacy has continued to this day with the Tennessee Titans honoring their Oilers past by inducting former players and wearing Houston Oilers throwback uniforms.

What did you think about the Oilers moving to Tennessee and becoming the Titans? And what’s one of your favorite memories of the Oilers? Let me know in the comments below!
