Jackson Michael has brought the Luv ya Blue Oilers back to life.

Michael's new audio book Red, White and Columbia Blue: Chasing the Dream with the 1979 Houston Oilers takes a look back at one of Houston's most beloved teams.

Michael's work features stories and interviews from some of the key members of the team, including Dan Pastorini, Elvin Bethea, Curley Culp, Robert Brazile and more.

Red, White and Columbia Blue takes the reader through each game of the 1979 season, including the climactic 1979 AFC Championship game at Pittsburgh that featured one of the most controversial calls in NFL history – the Mike Renfro play.

The book combines magical moments with insights into many of the players on the legendary Pittsburgh Steelers in addition to the Oilers.

The audio book is a must for any fan of the Oilers and gift card options are available.

Red, White and Columbia Blue: Chasing the Dream with the 1979 Houston Oilers can be purchased at Houston79.com

ON SECOND THOUGHT

Here’s why Astros likely just gave Yuli the Correa treatment

The Astros have assigned left-handed reliever Matt Gage to minor league camp, which means Houston's pitching staff is likely to head into the season without a lefty in the bullpen.

Ronel Blanco and Seth Martinez are expected to be the last two pitchers in the Astros bullpen now that Gage isn't expected to fill a spot on the club. With the Astros playing so many games in the month of April, could we see Blanco or Martinez making some starts with Lance McCullers still on the shelf?

Plus, should the Astros check in on Yuli Gurriel for some depth considering his versatility and the loss of Jose Altuve for the first couple months of the season? Gurriel still hasn't been added to the Marlins 40-man roster, which means he can opt out of his deal on Saturday if nothing changes.

Based on how things played out for Carlos Correa, the guys aren't very confident the Astros would change their stance on Yuli. But you never know.
