    Clutch:

    I don't know if you mind sharing this kind of information, but I would be interested in hearing about the increase of hits that this article might cause. Could you post those numbers? Thanks.

    Sheesh... Nomar Garciaparra? Why put the 2nd best shortstop in the league on the cover when you could have the best webmaster.

    This is more disrespect to the Rocket's franchise!

    Why is it that everytime BC defeats a major conference opponent, that opponent promptly goes on a losing streak?

    PS. Notre Dame sucks

    I think this perfectly on topic.
    The description for this forum is "Anything and everything about the Houston Rockets."

    This is definately Rockets related.

    Congratulations Clutch, CC.net and everyone involved!

    YOU KNOW WE ROCK(et)!!!!!!!!

    Damn Clutch, who is this Hardisty guy who's always trying to steal your thunder?! [​IMG]

    Congrats to the whole CC.net crew on the great piece! How many fans can claim to have made the pages of SI - gotta frame that one.

    So, as previously mentioned, this is sure to bring new visitors by the ton. I hope they behave themselves on the BBS - I'm sure y'all have better things to do than banning idiot posters all day long.

    Thank God clutchcity.net didn't make the cover! Did you see what happened to Nomar the day his SI cover story came out? They announced that he'll be out two weeks! (Yes, I know the injury didn't occur today, but it's still eerie.)

    The SI cover jinx is alive and well:

    I had never seen the ESPN Mag article.

    If anyone has any free time, can they post it?

    BTW, Congratulations Clutch, Jeff, Kagy, Keeley.

    But how did they not mention the imfamous poster vj23k?

    Outstanding guys. We all know the job you guys have done over the years, and it's great that you're getting the props you deserve for what is just an awesome site.

    My question is, how did the author of the article find out about the site? I'm curious how he found it.

    Not to steal CC thunder, but.....

    What ever happened to Chris White and the Talkzone? I thought he was writing for CC for awhile.

    I know this was a while ago, but who else can honestly say they remember remember this site? Thats a CC fan for a long time.

    Congradulations on a job well done, Clutch. You are finally getting the credit you deserve.

    I must admit though, learning your real name has taken a bit of the mystique out of visiting this site. Previous to this knowledge, I really just saw you as a floating entity of Rockets knowledge that roamed the 'net, making game updates almost instantaneously, and ruling the BBS with an iron binary fist. Oh well, my bubble is burst, but I will get used to it... [​IMG]

    Congrats Clutch... on a side note, anyone else catch what happened to the coverboy, Nomar Garciaparra? He's out with a right wrist injury. SI's cover jinx strikes again, I guess

    Right, becuase the last time the Red Sox were on the cover, they finished dead last...I think.
