    Got an email back from the promotions guy at the Rockets and he said that the music would not change in the intro but that they hope to encourage a greater buildup of energy with the new video intro and whatever they do on the floor. If the music changes at all, it won't probably be until 2003.

    Just thought you guys would like to know.

    Thanks Jeff........

    The guys on 610 were close, they said the introduction would change, but made it sound like there was a complete overhaul....

    It is kinda sad to see it change, because it was getting to a point where even my wife, who doesn't like to watch basketball.... could recite the whole thing...

    Well thats good to hear. Thanx JEff.

    I think the Music is great, but the rest of it sucks. Lets hope it something good tonight. I think Francis needs to be introduced last instead of first.

    The motorcycle bit is stupid. Clutch Bear is stupid.

    Maybe I am wierd but I kind of like Clutch.

    Im sure that most of the posters here also like him.

    I hate the mavericks guy. IMO, Clutch is one of the better mascots in the league.

    Umm no that would be just plain stupid. It needs to be exciting with lights off, laser going around.

    Maybe they need nudity? Bring in the girls from the titty bars. That would get the stadium filled.

    Did I miss something or did that intro suck more than the old one. I just saw a bunch of flag waving, than an intro. Did they not show the whole thing on TV?

    Part of the intro music DID change. No more 5-4-3-2-1 countdown...at least that's what it sounded like on the radio. They still played the tired "Are You Ready For This" cut.

    unless I missed something the 5-4-3-2-1 bit was still there, albiet toned down. too bad they didn't get rid of the power dancers.

    5-1 was still there, the only thing that was deleted was the "All right Houston...on your feet for a Rockets liftoff". Instead Pooh and Piglit were waiving a flag while a blown out speaker tried to make Harley noises.

    I don't mind Clutch but the motorcycle bit is weak...he stole it from the bear at Utah. Been done...come up with something original, Clutch.

    Btw, Clutch should change his name. Didn't they omit "This is Clutch City..." from the intro? We have to have at least a winning season before we can use that moniker again.
