Can the Cougars comeback revive the nickname and spark a fire under the Rockets asses to do something stunning in the play-offs as well? Love that it’s Kelvin Sampson at the helm and regardless of who wins, Vernon Maxwell will be happy, since it’s either his college or NBA team’s city that will win
Meh. He had North Carolina beating Houston in the Finals in his bracket. His loyalties don't lie with "Houston".
Kenny can kiss my ass and it makes no sense to suddenly say those teams are no longer Clutch City when it’s about the city. And it’s not his to give or take…idiot.
42 years since NC State and 41 years since the last championship game appearance against Patrick Ewing and Georgetown. It’s about time Houston wins one. I hope all the old phi slamma jamma guys are there to celebrate a national championship at last.
wasn't exist during clutch city, but glad i can tell my future grandkids about this one. if only i can get a gf first.
Clutch City emerged from the ashes of Choke City. Props to Cougar High but theirs is a CLUTCH moment in time, albeit impressively so; the preexisting Clutch City, the eponym for this site played out over about two weeks. A roller coaster ride, an I. Can’t. Take. This. Any. More surreal voyage ending in KISSES.
Those were my years. Loved going to the games for free and watching them crush opponents. Aleem had a triple double at halftime on FL State where their tallest player was 6’7”. I felt sorry for them and he got away with a few goaltending calls The loss to NC State was the biggest heartbreak loss I’ve ever experienced - especially after the Louisville W. Worse thank the oilers collapse. Phi Slamma Jamma forever
The shitty ending doesn’t take the luster off of a great season. Houston is winning a national championship—it’s just a matter of WHEN, not IF
them boys choked terribly if the Rockets ever performed like that in a championship game 7, that would be the backstory to the start of my Joker arc
Not remotely close. Good college players and team work ethic, no real superstars. That makes their run even more impressive tbh.
