    ...have some sort of commemorative display, or "jersey" or something?

    Although they were never involved with the team operations directly, they have served the Rockets +30 years and have painted the pictures of the Rockets games during their finest, and worst moments. In terms of service to the Rockets, I think they are up there with Dawson and Tomjanovich.

    I am just wondering, because I, and a bunch of us other Houstonian's have their best Rocket memories with those two.

    They really should if they haven't planned one already. Wouldn't that be shocking if they didn't?

    My dad was telling me about a recent radio spot advertising a job with the Rockets radio people. I'm surprised no one made a thread about it here. Did I just miss it?

    I didn't hear a Rockets radio broadcast this entire season, but I'm guessing they're gonna hire old man voice. Everyone loves old man voice. One day, I hope to have old man voice.

    there was an internship thread about a statistical research position. it was a contest to see who came up with a statistical model for three-point shooters.

    oh, and I wouldn't be surprised if they went completely young and brought in Craig Ackerman full time next season.

    I wonder when they will make the announcement?
