Pretty cool... CITY OF HOUSTON NEWS RELEASE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR DRAFT DRAFT March 13, 2008 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Frank Michel Office 713-247-2868/ Cell 713-412-8674 Patrick Trahan Office 713-437-6293 / Cell 713-417-4134 Mayor Bill White Declares March 14 Houston Rockets Spirit Day NBA Team on a Roll With 20-Game Win Streak Mayor Bill White has declared Friday, March 14 as Houston Rockets Spirit Day, and encourages all Houstonians to wear their “rowdy” red in support of the home team, which is on a remarkable 20-game NBA winning streak. “The team is playing great ball, despite some adversity, and watching them has been both exciting and inspiring,” said the mayor. “ We’ve been enjoying the ride by the Rockets’ red glare and we all want to be behind the team and wish them well as they go into a big basketball weekend and push into the playoffs in a dramatic way.”
That's pretty awesome. I will be rockin' the red all day tomorrow. I like how the Rockets are the buzz of the city.
That is amazing. I wish I'm located around Houston, TX. I'd wear my Rowdies Red proud. But no, my consulting company had to staff me in St. Louis, MO, of all places! The only major city in America without a pro-basketball team... Alas, I'll have to settle catching up with the Rox in this forum. It would be simply awesome if everywhere you go tomorrow, you see some variation of Red on people. Can you imagine how much moral support that is for the team?
March 14th is officially the greatest day in the history of the universe. Take the previous holiday and combine the Rox= awesome!
I got my company to send out a mass email to wear their gear tomorrow here at work. I work at Quest Diagnostics so its gonna be something. They asked me to say it over the overhead... It was awesome!
I'm not calling BS, but I can't find it yet. Not on the Mayor's site; not on chron.com; not on rockets.com............that being said, and because I find myself without a jersey and with tickets for tomorrow's game, where's the best place around Clear Lake/Friendswood to buy Rocket's apparel?
