All over town, expect to see people sporting their Texans gear in anticipation of the team's big playoff match-up with New England this weekend. Team spirit is especially high at a school that has very close ties to the man who will be calling the plays on Sunday.
St. Pius is proud to claim Texans Head Coach Gary Kubiak as one of its alums. He played football and graduated from there in 1979.
On campus today, students traded the usual school uniforms at St. Pius for Texans jerseys, Texans T-shirts and the like, just as fans across the city are.
The students are all dressed to show their Houston Texans pride, and pride in a person who once walked the same halls.
Students also created and hung signs declaring their support for the St. Pius alum.
"I think it's just big that we continue to support him," said St. Pius student Kohl Stewart. "It makes it fun that he's one of us and his name is everywhere and he's the face of the franchise."
"To feel like that man went here, it just makes the Texans pride that much more here," added student Jourdan Alvarez.
"It's amazing, especially since he's such a hard worker and everything he's done is incredible," said student Brianna Santiago.
Don't forget to catch our 'Houston Texans: Road to the Ring' special Friday at 7pm on ABC13, as the Texans try to take another major step to their first Super Bowl.
