    One things is for sure. If, after about the first 10-15 games of the season, we do well. There will be an influx of new BBS members.

    A lot of them will be the "fair-weather fan" joining because we are winning (knock on wood).

    I only have a debit card, checks, and cash(not much of the latter lol).Don't even ask me what I did to my credit in my late teens/early 20s. So I can get no credit card without 2.5 million% intrest.(I did go to UH and will have good money after paying my student loans back in about the year 3050). How does one contribute? I've been a lurker since the early days of this sight. Before we got SF. clutchcity.com I think..with the flash ELIE sarcastic flash entry? I just really started posting in #s this year. Didn't even register until forced.

    I just loved that touch of humor ( the 2.5 million % interest!). Those credit card banks just have to get that extra .5% of interest in there. Those bastards! ;)

    If you open a paypal account (which you can do with your debit card) then you can paypal the money through the tipjar (there is a link on the main clutchfans.net page) or you can email clutch and work out a way to send him a check.

    I'm a Rockets fan. I would root for Jerry Stackhouse and Big Country if they were on the team.

    not exactly. that is the attitude of a homer. one can be a fan of a team and take issue with certain players, no?

    I agree kind of what with Jeff said about YOF fans.. since alot of Yao fans (not all) started watching BB because of him and had that fierce sense of loyalty..

    Im hoping we have less of the XXX only fan and go back to being just fans. Yao is my fav. player but I dont put him above the team.. no one is above the team.

    anyways

    Go Yao! Go Rox!
