Yes. They were selling Reggie's talents to the city shortly after the Rose Bowl. They spent the better part of the past couple of months touting him hoping to ease the "pain" of not drafting Vince Young. When they extended Carr's option in MArch, the talk really heated up. But, the funny thing is they were very quiet the past couple of weeks. Then 2 days ago was the first anyone in Houston ever heard that Williams might indeed be the #1 pick. I'm telling ya, it's pretty U-G-L-Y in this city right now.
I think the city could have forgiven the TEXANS for not drafting Young if they drafted Bush. Now, to not get either one, especially after Bush was highly touted, does not sit well. It all means that now the careers of all 3 will be watched very closely by TEXAN fans.
