    I'm excited about the Rockets new proactive approach to the fans of Clutch fans and am excited that we are going to be able to have a new way to air out our basketball jones.

    I personally would like to see this section become just as feared as TMac and Yao. I've gathered a list of the names suggested from the other thread and would like to see what everyone's oppinion is.

    red alert rowdies seemed to be popular among most in the other thread. yeah... "RAR!"... would be kinda cool.

    After reading the thread i think other people then myself aren't to hip to using the reference of rowdies. It sounds too commercially driven.

    I can't see Shaq sweating the red rowdies. And i can only imagine what he'll think of us. A bunch of yosemite sams hopping from one leg to the other trying to see who can hold their pee the longest.

    I like "Red Alert" for the section and "Rowdies" for the fans themselves for an aggregation of "Red Alert Rowdies."

    Rowdies does sound a bit country to me, but it's not terrible.

    Shirts are already printed with Red Rowdies.

    The name doesn't bother me so I'm sticking with it.

    Rocket Fuel is the best because that is the purpose of the whole thing, to fuel the Rockets with are enthusiam. Rowdies sounds like we're all mouth and no brains.
    And Red Sea? Is someone going to be playing Moses with flowing robes and a serpentine cane striking vengeance and wrath on those who don't cheer for the Rockets during the game and those who dare oppose the Rockets in any way. The Bible and Basketball were not meant to mix in any way whatsoever. Literally that is.

    I like Red Rowdies.
    It alliterates well and it has a college feel to it.

    Red Army? (make Yao feel more at home)
    6th Man?
    I like Red Glare too since they can shine a red spot light on that group or something.

    At first I liked Red Alert, but it had that singular name in teams feel to it (Magic, Wild, Storm).
    So I think Red Alert should describe section 101, and Red Rowdies to name the fans.

    Red Alert is good for the section.
    Red Rowdies is good for the fans. (Well, it's servicable, anyway.)

    But "Red Alert Rowdies" doesn't roll off the tongue. At all.

    I can't believe more people aren't going with Red Glare. It's perfect.

    "Howdy Rowdies!"



    What a bunch of toothless rednecks we are in Texas. Every one of us.

    That name actually offends me personally.
