Houston’s sports story couldn’t be more divided. The Rockets are rising — young, confident, and finally giving H-Town something to believe in — while the Texans look completely buried after another brutal week. It feels like déjà vu from that Houston Chronicle “Tombstone” cover in 2005, when they buried the Astros right before their miracle run to the World Series. Will history repeat itself… or are the Texans really done? In this episode of Houston Sports State of the Union, Nick Stevenson breaks down “The Young and the Hopeless” — the two sides of Houston sports right now: 🚀 Rockets: Energy, growth, and the young core that’s turning heads. 💀 Texans: Frustration, regression, and a season on life support. 🎙️ Hosted by Nick Stevenson Houston Sports State of the Union Podcast
