[For Clutch, 99ers, and witnesses]Clutch City I&II and new fans

I was there for both, I partied on Richmond when Richmond was cool, I kinda worshiped Hakeem, I have my piece of the Summit floor.

And I love tinman old school posts. Repped.

 

Honestly, I don't care. The past is the past. Let's move forward.

 

Tinman is like a male cheerleader. On one hand you have a gigantic fan with good intentions. On the other, you can't help but laugh at anything he does.

 

Saleem is right, Tinman. You're a bit of a one trick pony. A cute pony, but you could be so much more.

 

I Pity the Fool Who Forgets The Reason Why It All Began!!!!

 

in the grand scheme of things you have to have Tinman to preserve perspective.

to answer the question: some will; some won't. start telling your kids the history while they're still in the embryo, don't feed the little buggers until they learn ...

I thought it was all because of Bill Balleza's red vest?

 

Haha, I sooo remember that. And then in 1997, he went with a blue with with red pinstripe perhaps?

 

the city has outgrown and no longer lives up to that moniker. so who cares. i'll always have the memories.

 

the rockets and the city of houston handed the term "Choke city" to Cleveland, after those championships!

 

Answer to the first question; No I don't think many of the newer fans understand the emotions and pride that those championship teams portrayed. It's unfortunate, but many of our fans our implants from China, or Orlando (Whom have now fled to NY for the time being).

No one will ever forget why this is called Clutch City, we as fans must continue to teach the greatness that was the Hakeem ERA and keep the memory alive!

 

A better poll would have been to give people 3 choices of why we are called Clutch City and tally the results. You would probably find that most people don't know now. That is unless only the people that knew completed the poll. Look at the names and length of time on the board to see who responded.
