THE KUUUMKWAAAAAT!!!!! I still have my Clutch City sign. I think the NC State game also contributed to the original choke city article.
I remember that paper... the title "Choke City" was for all of the crap that happened in the past. I remember the article had a table with all of the collapses in Houston history. Rockets - Suns Astros '86, game 6? UH's Phi Slamma Jamma losses Oilers never kicking the door in And... why Houston was universally known as a city of chokers: Oilers/Buffalo.
But why is our mascot a freakin' Teddy Bear! Dont ya"ll remember Booster the weird looking alien? they could have at least made a cool looking alien that the kids would like but instead we have a freakin teddy bear! Oh the humanity!
well at least it aint as horrible as the suns' gorilla.. they should have put marbury's head instead.. lol.
