I'd like to tag LES ALEXANDER and @Clutch because @Clutch saved the Rockets from leaving Houston http://www.clutchfans.net/news/130/enron_looking_to_keep_rockets_in_houston/ Enron looking to keep Rockets in Houston FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 2000 3:53 PM CST By Clutch Copyright 2000 ClutchFans.net According to a Houston Chronicle article, pessimism is growing about the Rockets chances of staying in Houston as the team has spoken with several cities about relocating when the Compaq Center lease is up in 2003. However, there is hope. Enron Chairman Ken Lay, who played a key role in keeping the Astros in town and getting a new stadium built, has said he plans on playing a "prominent role" in keeping the Rockets in town. http://www.clutchfans.net/news/157/thanks_to_the_fans_/ Thanks to the fans ... MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2000 1:15 AM CST By Clutch Copyright 2000 ClutchFans.net After posting a request in the late afternoon Sunday for fan stories about a special moment concerning the Rockets, we were flooded with email and received tons of great stories (we couldn't possibly post them all). We want to thank those who sent in and told their personal stories. You can find many of them in the Great Moments in Fan History section of saveourrockets.com. If you have a personal story releated to a particular Rocket highlight/moment (any year since the Rockets were in Houston), and would like to be included by telling what the Rockets mean to you, please feel free to send it in to us at clutch@clutchcity.net with your name and we'll do our best to get it out there. http://www.clutchfans.net/news/160/chronicle_saveourrockets_dot_com_a_necessary_development/ Chronicle: SaveOurRockets.com a "necessary development" TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2000 3:21 AM CST By Clutch Copyright 2000 ClutchFans.net Well it's past 3am and I still haven't responded to even half the emails nor completed all that's needed to be done ... so you can imagine what Jeff has on his plate! First off, thanks to all those who support the site and wrote in how to help. Monday was nonstop publicity for the Save Our Rockets! movement... from KPRC Channel 2, FOX 26 KRIV, 610 KILT and others. Be sure to read the SOR News page and Special Thanks section. But apparently the buzz wasn't restricted to the fans and media. In a Houston Chronicle article entitled SaveOurRockets.com site a necessary development, Jonathan Feigen reports that SOR "caused an immediate buzz in the Rockets' offices and even briefly in the locker room". Said Rockets CEO George Postolos "It's a catchy name. These guys did a nice job. I hope it's effective. We appreciate the support these guys are getting together. Putting together the site in support of the organization, we really appreciate that. These kinds of things are effective if they generate a major grass roots movement. Look at other cities. Those kinds of things have made a difference." Fantastic news. As SOR has now taken on a life of its own, we will return our focus at clutchcity.net back to Rockets hoops tonight when they take on the Cavs and inform you from time to time of new developments at SOR. http://www.clutchfans.net/news/164/save_our_rockets_louisville_courting_rockets_comets/ SOR Time: Louisville courting Rockets, Comets TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2000 11:35 PM CST By Clutch Copyright 2000 ClutchFans.net KRIV, citing unidentified sources, is reporting that Louisville is courting the Rockets, Comets and Thunderbears. Louisville officials have called Rockets management to let the team know of their interest in bringing all three franchises to their city. The Rockets did not say much, but CEO George Postolos did say they are fielding offers and "We have received a number of inquiries and we will respond to those. We don't intend to comment beyond that." SaveOurRockets.com had another incredible day as we have been contacting hundreds who wrote in, and some big, big things are in the future. Jeff Balke will be on Lance and John's "The Bench" show at 7:25am Wednesday on 610 to talk more about the movement. http://www.clutchfans.net/news/296/save_our_rockets_goes_to_white_house_with_comets/ Save Our Rockets goes to White House with Comets TUESDAY, MAY 16, 2000 10:07 PM CST By Clutch Copyright 2000 ClutchFans.net Janice Kinchion, campaign manager for Save Our Rockets!, went to the White House Monday with the Comets, got some great pictures, and even handed a Save Our Rockets! button to Les Alexander who wore it on his suit jacket. She met that Clinton guy too, but hey ... she met Les! Great story and pics which can be found at SaveOurRockets.com http://www.clutchfans.net/news/380/save_our_rockets_holds_press_conference/ Save Our Rockets holds press conference FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 2000 2:00 PM CST By Clutch Copyright 2000 ClutchFans.net In response to Judge Eckels' attempt to squash the arena deal in Houston, and in essence, drive the Rockets out of town, Save Our Rockets! held a press conference Friday at 4pm on the steps of the Harris County Commissioners Court in downtown Houston and the details from the press conference are up on SOR. Don't forget to give Judge Eckels a piece of your mind about his calculated opposition to the arena deal.
The Rockets championship trophies are in Florida Hakeem Olajuwon didn't end his career in Houston I get it, those things don't matter to some of you Lin fans @Os Trigonum
I knew who they were. In fact, I know who Sleepy Floyd, Robert Reid, Granville Waiters, Jim Petersen, Mitch Wiggins, Rodney McCray, and Bill Fitch were. Watched them all back in the day. "99ers" are newbies to me. The date people join this site has ZERO to do with how long they've been a fan of Houston Rockets basketball. Yeah, yeah, I know it's your schtick. Carry on...
I was a member in 1999 lol I was a little punk kid With the name Dr. basketball- I didn’t know **** about basketball hahaha But I wish I knew the password and the email address so that I could use that name So that my member date was correct
Do you remember 1 million years ago you did a post that was the funniest **** I’ve ever seen still to this day I still tell people about it I don’t know why
Do you remember when you did a hypothetical post about who would win in a seven game series Hurricane Katrina or Hakeem Olajuwon? And then on the second page you put a picture of one of the looters from New Orleans , With the bubbles talking saying Hakeem in seven That **** was so funny
That's from the most hilarious poster on Clutchfans @Carl Herrera I do recall Hakeem dunking on a large hurricane though.
Oh I thought you did that Yes he had Dream Dunkin through the eye It was so funny I think it offended some people but oh well
