R2K...Where did Luther and Dwayne grow up! What state. gotta love RIET. Just wondering if someone has a picture of him with that longhorn football helmet on. oh, and that reminds me....I already to Rocketman95 in person....watching that Rose Bowl as an owl fan...I'm usually always against UT. But I also grew up in Illinois under an Irish dad...so we are supposed to root against USC at all costs. We were raised that way. Let's not even discuss how Joe Montana's team jumped five spots in the college polls after ruining y'alls dreams in such convincing fashion. Big dilemma: stick with my dad and brothers and root against USC or stick with my Rice instincts and root against UT at all costs. I just couldn't do it. Vince Young was too good. He was too fun to watch. I had to root for him. GO HORNS. that was just too fun! You must still by on a Vince Young high. That guy gave us/me our/my best college football experience of all time. so...what does this have to do with the Rockets. well, I might not quite want to spoon the thread like SS suggested...but just wanted to make certain that all bystanders know that RIET knows how to lose his mind in victory...despite him defining the depressing side of the Rockets happy fan joy spectrum of cc.net posters. oh, and I have also witnessed TheFreak losing his mind while in town during a simple random regular season game. oh, and cbfc...was at your show at Continental...talked to your dad....that was fun. Rour whole thing about no breaks....i didn't last to 2:30am this time. I saw ya, but missed ya as well. Same night as my tix to Batman Jones last show.
Heypartner, please return. PS. I agree with just about all your take on the Gay & Stromile for Battier thread and the state of the Rockets.. I hated the trade intially, but am warming up to it. Stromile was a net negative so he is not an issue for me. I agree especially that Yao is possibly on the edge of greatness. I do think that the new rules make it problematical for even a skilled huge guy like him. Phoenix type small ball presents a major problem for us with Yao. However, with Yao, we present a unique problem for other teams assuming Tracy is healthy, and we get two or three more solid role players. I dont know if we can slow some of these deep talented teams down to play slow ball as we must play.
[quote hp's take]Quote: bottomline: i know i'm going to like Battier a lot. [/quote] if you are asking me if the bbs will like Battier...I think Clutch and many others have already said they are Battier....we all are. note, that the MemphsX "scouting" thread about Battier was novice. i'm done on that.
