    Do you have folks have Rockets stuff up in your office, cube, workspace, etc?

    I have an autographed Rudy T - FunRun number tag and an autographed Calvin Murphey Millenium used Ticket.
    I also have a few ticket stubs and several "rocket blast off" freebies.

    What kind of gear do you have?

    I got my Olajuwon autographed ball, my Steve Francis poster, and my poster from the 98-99 rocks with Willis, Drexler, Dream, Elie, Barkley and Maloney in the clouds.

    ------------------
    Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!

    In my recording studio, I have both my Comets and Rockets signed basketballs, a set of Starter basketball cards I got at one of the games during the first championship season (it is a sheet with perforations but they haven't been separated yet), my Citizen Sportsman of the Year award I got for Save Our Rockets from Interfaith Charities of Houston, the pic I had taken with Rudy T when I was twelve and a couple other small things.

    I plan on hanging up and framing my arena rendering, an arena sign and my news clippings out there as well. Maybe I'll make them into a big collage or something along with my program and ticket from that awards banquet.

    I'm still in high school so my room is practically my office.
    I have 8 Charles Barkley posters hanging up
    autographed photo with me with Charles
    an autographed photo of me with Dream
    an autographed drawing that I drew of Charles
    an autographed drawing that I drew of Cuttino
    an autographed drawing of ex-rocket Bryce Drew
    an autographed drawing of Steve Francis
    a computer collage that I made of the 2000 Rockets and is signed by everyone on the team except T-Mass and Shandon (but it was signed by Sir Charles, Dream, Steve, Cat, ect.)
    Autographed photos of Steve, Shandon, Thaoms Hamilton, Kelvin, Los, and Calvin Murphy
    And my favorite item, a Rockets mini-ball signed by the entire 1999-2000 team (with Chuck, Dream, Steve, Cat, and the rest).

    Rudy T SUCKS! The man needs to figure out:
    -That its okay to play Shandon in clutch situations.
    -Mobes doesn't have to get the ball every single time at the end of the game.
    -That its okay to actually give the ball to Steve or Mo at the end of the game.

    I'm a newspaper saver, too. I have all the papers from the 2 playoff runs as well as the Sampson and Olajuwon coin flips and those drafts. None of it is up in my office.

    Only a few player got mad at me. In 98 Dream and Clyde told me to "go to school". Cat didn't mind at all. In fact, I had a photo of Cat that I took off my TV with my digital camera (It was only his rookie season)and he asked me for one, so I gave him one. And Thomas Hamilton aked me for a RMR picture that I took. I gave it to him along with some by the AP. Matt Bullard, Cat, and Rudy were the nicest. They'll sign anything.

    I have the original, early '94, pre championship, "Popeye's Chicken" mini hoop that says "Love That Chicken!" on one half and "Love Those Rockets!" on the other half, with the old Rockets Logo on top center, and Popeye's logo bottom center (has ball in the net, net zip-tied at bottom)...

    Also, I have a post back-to-back pennant that hangs vertically...

    And I have a new logo pennant that I got as soon as they came out back in the day...

    The old logo stuff is in one corner, behind me, as is the past...

    The new logo stuff is in front of me, and pointing up, as the future can only hope to be...
