If you’re from Texas or any other state where you can get your hands on authentic Mexican food, pozole with shots of mezcal before, tamales, menudo for that hangover, barbacoa, buñelos, churros, bolillos with sugar and butter.
Watching Craig Biggio retire was so damn sad to me at 13 and still is, even have the Houston Chronicle from the next Monday after framed and hung up still.
Side note: Seeing Lance Berkman Win a ring with the cardinals was a kick in the pants, watching him play in a Rangers uni was even worse.
Custom made alligators that you have a hard time folding down is the only way to go.
But if you’re not a Rolex wearin’, diamond ring wearin’, kiss stealin’, wheelin’ dealin’, limousine ridin’, jet flyin’ son of a gun. Then here’s my take as an avid sneaker guy
Adidas : Stan smiths, continental 80s, superstars, ultra boosts, nmds, yeezys, alphabpunce, Swiftrun, hell anything with boost is really worth it honestly. Also adidas has ortho insoles on a lot of its shoes now and it makes one hell of a difference.
Nike: airmax 1, 90, 270, 97, well anything airmax, Air Force one, converse (Nike owned), vapormax, blazers, flyknit racers, free runs, etc.
Others: puma Clyde/suedes, vans, Clark’s, Cole Haan, any New Balance numbered shoe made in the US will last you a life time, Jordan 1, 3, 4 (least bulky and most wearable of the main Jordan line). And if you’re like me and from Texas or the south a pair of boots wouldn’t hurt either.
You’ll never grow out of it. There’s just something about being so invested into a sports team that will never make sense to those who simply don’t get it. Hell last year I stopped watching the Astros after they went 0-3 in New York in the ALCS because up to that point they had lost every game I watched and won every time I would just keep track on the radio. It’s only stupid if it doesn’t work, one replica ring and a bunch of championship merch later it’s all worth it.
From everyone from Space City, Clutch City, H-Town, City of Syrup, Screwston, and even Hustletown. Never refer to Houston as H-Tine ever again. Also if I followed the asinine rule of a restaurant looking clean meaning I’ll eat there I’d eat a 3+ dollar taco from torchys instead of the $1 delicacy that is Houston street tacos.
I’ll be your friend, can’t promise I won’t hit you with a chair shot when you’re not looking though. In all seriousness, I live in Houston and work in an office where most of my co workers are older too. While I do have 3 college friends here in town the struggle is still real. Hang in there.

Those days of JR Towles, Kaz Matsui, and Carlos Lee on 100 mil a year really make you appreciate this group so much more.
