    3 in 24 years. Maybe we're finally shedding that redheaded stepchild stigma we've had forever...maybe... two NCAA finals this decade, now lets get another Super Bowl.

    Team has all star game

    but the team has no all star

    the team is shameful

    I was going to look it up because after reading this I was thinking "wasn't there another big sporting event that was given to Houston twice in a short amount of time" We're becoming the Madison Square Garden of the south. Everything wants to be played here. Wouldn't be surprised if we get another Superbowl and MLB Allstar game within the next 10 years.

    Morey: *ring ring*
    Dwight: "Hello"
    Morey: "What can I do get get you to sign with the Rockets?"
    Dwight: *laughing* "get the All-Star game in Houston when I'm a free agent"
    Morey: "Done, anything else"
    Dwight: *crickets chirping*

    This should have happened, then Dwight could've been apart of the hosting team two seasons in a row.

    The most recent All-Star game to have that occur was in 2005, which the Denver Nuggets hosted but had no allstar in the game.

    I'm looking forward to all the festivities around the All-Star game. I didn't go last time but the Super Bowl was tons of fun.

    Wasn't able to go to 06's game, or the Superbowl, NCAA, MLB game. So I'll definitely be going in 2013, and now i'm all excited about it, and it's still 18 months away.

    Although I did make it to Wrestlemania, which was an unbelievable time, so this can only be better.
