You were at the game where Barkley and Shaq scuffled, and after the melee, and the ensuing crowd madness, when Barkley is walking off the court and it's as quiet as a church you yell, "WAY TO GO CHUCK!" so hard you think your lungs fell out... because you had crappy seats. 625. You create an excel spread sheet for the Rockets stats and enter in every game while saving every box score to your hard drive. Then you get to compare their 1st half of the season against their 2nd half stats, and make many other useless comparisons and number crunches (like when Shandon was in that slump). 626. You got to pee next to Otis Thorpe at Bennigan's after a preseason game against the Mavericks in which you had the best seats of your life. Elie, Sammy, and a few other Rockets are there too (um, not in the bathroom). 627. You always wear your Rockets gear on tests days at UH (for luck), or after an important win. 628.
