I went and saw the Screaming Jets live and the concert rocked...I was still pumped about it when I picked my name. ------------------
The first Junior College that Steve Francis played at after high school was the San Jacinto Community College. Their mascot was the Runnin' Ravens. Sam Cassel also went there, as well as several other NBA stars whose names I cannot recollect off the top of my head. On a side note, if you get a chance to watch San Jac B-Ball, you will not be dissappointed. For $4 or so, it is probably the best basketball you can watch. I saw Francis throw down some of the nastiest dunks I have ever had the privilege of viewing at that college. I remember discussing with my parents and siblings how great it would be if somehow the Rox could find a way to get Franchise, but that there wasn't much chance since he would go high in the draft (yes, even then at a JuCo game we could tell this kid would be amazing). ------------------ She hates testicles, thus limiting the men she can admire to Democratic candidates for president. -- John Greenway, "The American Tradition", on feminist Elizabeth Gould Davis
Yeah, you had to think of a name really quick so you could register... ------------------ A friend of mine graduated from law school in May, and he's had a heck of a time finding work....He might be a moron, though. (I don't think he is, but one never knows. He was a moron when we were five years-old.) -- mrpaige reflects on his friends
My tribute to the great Moses Malone. ------------------ Moses begat Sampson, Sampson begat Hakeem, And Hakeem led us to the promised land
ROX. 'Nuff said. TX. I'm a Houston native. IA. Graduated from the University of Iowa and am currently still in Iowa City. Hey, I had to come up with something. ------------------
I don't post as much as I have in the past, but I do religiously come to the site several times a day. I've been coming to Clutch City since I was a student at Southwest Texas State in 1994 to get the latest Rocket News living in San Antonio. Yes, I did the long commute from SA to SM. However, in 1995, I moved to New York City. I have proclaimed my Rockets loyalty in a city full of New York Fans everywhere. Hence the name... ROCKET RICH NYC
Whenever I say the obvious to my corporate attorney, he'll say, "No sh*t, Sherlock." He thinks that's funny I spent a number of years as a business analyst, and people would nickname me that, since I break things down to their elementary fundamentals, then put them back together so people work more profitably and efficiently, then create applications. Then as I got into encryption technologies, when I needed a user name or password, I found that Sherlock wasn't in the dictionary, so a hacker couldn't figure it out easily by running a dictionary software on it. ------------------ the more I know, the more I know I don't know...

well, the whole Mario Elie thing, and also I'm a big Jerome Williams (JYD) fan! ------------------ -Junkyard Dog "Maybe we need an enema" - Othella Harrington (former pf for the Rockets)
for the first 9 months or so (don't remember exactly) I was going by myputersux. I thought it was kinda stupid for a b-ball forum once I started posting. So I changed it to commemorate the Rox millenium season. Rockets= self explanatory 2K= duh!! 2000 ------------------ Formal Notice This space has been condemned.
I wreak hovoc at another bb just like this. Only it's a KISS bb, and I hate KISS. I did it to piss off the serious people there, thus: Gene Simmons is a big fat PIG. "Gene the PIG" :bounce: My friends name is Ace The Burn Victim. ------------------ I want to live on an abstract plain!!!
I was banned here once, but I've changed my evil ways, I swear. I was Ralph Sampson. ------------------ I want to live on an abstract plain!!!
How can he be the greatest shortstop if he's never won ANYTHING?!! ;D ------------------ Only in America....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

LETS SEE MISTER JETER TOP THAT!!! ------------------ The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why i didn't get more meat, ill just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where ive hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?
I used to be obsessed w/ African authors... e.g. Soyinka, Mahfouz, Gordimer, Wa'Thiongo and Chinua Achebe. Now I just read Star Wars novels, CNN, this bbs and Swank. Perhaps I need to go back to school before my wife leaves me. <font face="verdana" size="-3" color="336699">just kidding about the swank reference</font>

LETS SEE MISTER JETER TOP THAT!!! He already has - just look at his fingers. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
For Otis Thorpe, one of my all time favorite Rockets. He did the dirty work and didn't complain. He fought the wars on the boards and never whined to the refs. Unfortunately, he never worked on his offense like Rudy wanted him to so, he isn't here anymore. ------------------
I think I've explained this before, but here it goes: I went to college in Utah... I watched the video "Clutch City" then the sequel video "Double Clutch" so often -- even inviting Jazz friends over to watch it - that one friend sarcastically called me "Clutch". It stuck, so when I started the site maybe 9-10 months later I ran with it as more of a joke follow-up... The site then was called <a href="http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/b/bchriste/rockets.html">"Clutch City '97"</a>, which ironically enough also was a follow-up of a gag newsletter I and a friend did that mocked stuff all of us in our apartment complex did. The sports section of that newsletter was called Clutch City '96 (praised Rockets, ripped Jazz -- it went over well ). ------------------ NOTHING BUT .NET CLUTCHCITY.NET
