2011 Texans Watch-Texans Face The Jaguars

Another upcoming football Sunday, another AFC South rival.

This time it's the Jacksonville Jaguars who come into Reliant Stadium on a high note after upsetting the Ravens on Monday night. The Texans are coming off a successful trip to Nashville that resulted in them beating the Tennessee Traitors 41-7.

But when it comes to the Jaguars, throw out the records.  The Jaguars are one of the few teams in the league since they entered the NFL in 2002 that the Texans have had success against in the AFC South, beating them nine times.

I'd feel a lot better with Andre Johnson on the field, but he's being held out of this game in order to give that hamstring he injured against Pittsburgh more time to heal.  To be honest I'd rather have him 100% healthy for the stretch run and the playoffs if they finally do what they need to do and make it.

The Texans have enough talent and defensive firepower where they should win this game and the next against Cleveland before they go into their bye week.  but then again I'm talking about my local NFL franchise that has a penchant for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.   

The Texans-Jaguar games have been close, down to the wire football games and it will probably be the same this Sunday.

Can The Girls Of The African Diaspora End The Title Drought At Miss International Queen 2011?

As I mentioned in a previous post, although there have been African descended girls in the Miss International Queen pageant, there has never been a person from the African diaspora who has walked away with the crown.  Stasha Sanchez came tantalizingly close with her finish in the top three last year as the second runner up in this internationally renowned and most coveted title in the trans pageant world.

This year the 24 candidates represent 18 countries and the candidates from the African Diaspora include Sahhara, a Nigerian born UK resident who is the first ever continental African contestant in the Miss International Queen event, Brazilian Yasmin Dream and two African-American girls in 2010-11 Miss Continental titleholder Mokha Montrese and perennial Miss Continental competitor Silkie O'Hara Munro

When the pageant week starts on October 30 Thai time (today on my side of the International Date Line) and concludes with the televised final on November 4 (November 3), will 2010 queen Mini Han be placing the crown on one of their heads or will the title drought continue as the crown is placed on the coiffed head of one of the other 20 contestants?

Will let you TransGriot readers know what transpires at Miss International Queen 2011
