HOUSTON – Former Houston Texans star player J.J. Watt is still claiming Houston as his own.
The fact was most apparent on Monday night as the University of Houston Cougars clawed their way into the Final Four and Watt was along for the journey, tweeting a photo of himself wearing a Cougars shirt and sending out his reflections during and after the game.
Here’s what people were saying about Watt’s ongoing Houston intensity on social media:
You're a class act @JJWatt... It's great to see, especially in today's messed-up world! Wishing you all the best in life! Good luck in AZ! (This coming from a @UHouston alumnus originally from #NYC and a huge @Giants fan.)
