Where do most people in Austin come from??? My guess is Houston and Dallas. Yet, I have lived here in Austin for 3 years and still the Rockets get pre-empted for the Stars or the Spurs! In my opinion the only people who care about the Spurs are the people in or from San Antonio. Noboby else in Texas really cares about them. Time for all Austinites to call, email the hell out of Time Warner and tell them that want to see more Rockets games! ------------------
Dude, it's not Time Warner's fault, it's the NBA. Time Warner Austin is not allowed, by NBA rules, to show any non-nationally televised game that doesn't involve the Spurs since they are the closest team to Austin. ------------------ Cheerleaders are just dancers who've gone r****ded. visit www.swirve.com
For the Rocket Fans in Austin, how long have you lived here? Since some dumbass posted that they will show the Rockets Pre-Season Game on FoxSports, I actually tuned in. If you have lived in austin for more than 1 year, you ought to know that they always advertise Rockets commericals on Fox Sports SW and that they NEVER WILL show them unless they play the SPURS. Quit posting crap like the Rocket Games will be on TV in Austin, because THEY WON'T. If you live in Austin, and want to see the Rockets game, go to THE TAVERN on Lamar, they are big Rockets fans. ------------------
Gotta be newbies. I remember last year waiting for a Rockets preseason game. Fox SW had been hyping it for a couple of days. I was stunned to see The Last Word. I would have given anything to hear Bill and Calvin. That's when a fellow Rockets fan told me to visit the original Clutch City. As you can see I registered in Oct 99. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Smokey (edited October 11, 2000).]
If you live in Austin and want to see the Rockets games, you basically have to order NBA League Pass or go to The Tavern. This year, I chose to order League Pass because I dont care too much for the Tavern. My personal opinion is that League Pass is more than worth it. I ordered it on the Early Bird Special for $149 which comes to about $20 a month over the course of the NBA season. ------------------ Check out the Best Source for Draft Info Draftsource.net
This sucks more than anything that has ever sucked before. ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
I'm not from San Antonio, and I like the Spurs. I actually have to get the League Pass to see Spurs games (and Rockets games, too. We get the Mavs here. But I got the package so I could watch the Spurs). ------------------ Houston Sports Board DFW Sports Board
The game was on a Fox Sports Alternate or something channel on Dish Network here in the DFW area, but it was blacked out. Jeff of saveourrockets.com fame mentioned it in the ClutchCity Chat chanel and I nearly wet my pants. But like I said, I quickly found out it was blacked out... *sigh* ------------------ I got nothin'.
do you guys know if you have to be 21 to go into The tavern? i'm only 19..so i don't wanna go to the place to catch a game, and then hear that i can't even be there... anyhow..what's the best way to get there? i'll check out austin360.com for more info..but please post if you know anything, elie17 ------------------ Oh.. so this is how you add a signature huh? coo coo.
The Tavern sucks. The best place, IMO, is Mr. Gattis by campus. All you can eat pizza, cheap beer, and the Rockets. What more can you ask for (except for Rolaids after)? ------------------ Cheerleaders are just dancers who've gone r****ded. visit www.swirve.com
BUT, do they have league pass? i tried last year..and i was flipping through the channels and didn't see any.. =/ Thanks, elie17 hmm.. i might be there tomorrow night if the games gonna be on over there. =) ------------------ Oh.. so this is how you add a signature huh? coo coo.
i just called... they said they didnt' have it.. but.did someone say that league pass was for free during the preseason??? anyone know the channel? thanx. -elie17 ------------------ Oh.. so this is how you add a signature huh? coo coo.
If you have DIRECTV & NBA League Pass, the fun begins on channel 720. This is on 24/7 during the season and displays all of the games and results and what channel that days games are on (721 thru 731). 720 also displays stats leaders and will replay classic NBA games. ------------------ GATER
League Pass is free for the first two weeks of the season (don't know if preseason is included) for all digital cable subscribers. In Round Rock (Time Warner) it's Channel 310 for NBA.comTV (digital cable) and 311-320 for the games. San Antonio games are listed, but blacked out on League Pass, but then I give you FoxSW (but you have to listen to the SA broadcast team). ------------------ In the end there will be no judges...only witnesses to my greatness.
