    I had been looking forward to this morning with eager anticipation.

    What would Clutch's April Fools gag be this year?

    There were a number of possibilities running through my head....

    Yao Ming suddenly retires and becomes a Buddhist monk
    Tracy McGrady dealt to Utah for Kirk Snyder and a cow
    Jeff Van Gundy arrested for going ballistic at Treasures

    But alas....no April Fools gag this year.

    :(

    Well, looks like we'll have to make up for it by winning the title this year!

    :)

    Bravo Clutch!

    The April Fools joke was on those people who were waiting for an April Fools joke. Brilliant!

    :(

    Disappointing.


    Weisbrod Resigns: claims "I'm Houston's b****."

    Yao to open Soul Food Restaurant in China.

    Van Gundy to resign at end of the year. Ewing to step in.

    I think 'RocketFan123' is the joke this year.

    I hope so, I haven't been in the GARM much, but I read his posts in that feedback thread about 0 star ratings. He accused the olliez of starting that thread because of him, even though the thread was started before he even joined the forum. Of course he won't admit to having been stupid, so he continues to argue that everybody isn't capable of understanding his point. Hilarious.

    Reminds me of when MTV stopped giving out its Lifetime Achievement Award at their MTV Movie Awards show. They said that after giving the award to Ron Howard's brother, they just didn't think they could ever top that so they stopped giving out the award.

    all good things must come to an end.


    I still remember the time when I was in college and came to check out Clutchcity like always and was !!!SHOCKED!!! that the site had turned into a spurs site.

    I was pissed all day, feel for it hook line and sinker....

    I am still unclear, is the cookie monster a vegetarian or is that some kind of a sick joke.

    I've fallen for every gag Clutch has run with. I gotta tell you, Clutch, that photo of Van Grumpy just cried out for a front page today!
