    I think its pretty cool they named the team after the legendary wrestler, The Undetaker. One of my all-time favorites.

    I remember my dad taking us out to some of the old Houston Maverick games at Sam Houston Coliseum.

    Willie Somerset was a sharpshooting PG.

    Skeeter Martin (?) was coach.

    Were y'all the only ones there? I've read horror stories about actual attendance figures of less than 100 for some games in their second season.

    Well duh! I never even heard of them till I read it on this board. What are they doing to market themselves and sell tickets. If they get only 100 people at the game it's their own fault.

    Can't say. It was "sparse" but I was only a wee lad... and just thrilled to be there.

    LOL "Jump ball!" with a Ken Burns effect of two guys leaping.

    And nice to see frames for you younger pups in the audience. What a history lesson!
