713 DAY IS BACK

713 DAY IS BACK
Houston's unofficial holiday, 713 Day, celebrates the first digits the Bayou City was assigned.
For those not familiar with how Houston started off as the 713: When area codes first came to North America in 1947, Texas was designated for four sets of codes. Houston received 713, with the additional numbers of 281, 832 and 346 being assigned over the years.
The day is celebrated in July (the seventh month) on the 13th day — 713 Day.
Events pop up all over town in honor of the day. Here are a few of the highlights.
Bun B and Houston Astros drop limited-edition hat collection: You can shop the collection and meet Bun B at the Union Station team store at Minute Maid Park starting at 2 pm on Wednesday, July 13.

The Houston Texans might be flying under the radar, but are they quietly building one of the NFL's best rosters? In this episode, we dive into why the Texans could have the third-best defense in the league, and whether the hype around stars like Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. is justified.
We also question Pro Football Focus and other ranking systems: Is Will Anderson being graded fairly among elite edge rushers?
Weak interior?
Are the Texans really in the low 20s for interior D-line rankings?
Plus, we talk about the latest on Juice Scruggs. Is he still in the mix, or just holding a spot with no reps? And don’t miss our take on whether the Texans have the best combo of offensive and defensive players in the NFL right now.
Watch the video below as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein break it all down!
