    It was basically an interview with Clutch. One of the points was how Clutchfans was started when Clutch wrote an article back in the day about how the Rockets should trade for Charles Barkley. They talked about how many people visit the site daily and how the site often crashes during game days due to the high volume of loggers.

    Thanks guys, and thanks to Ray and the team at channel 39 for the story. I've got it captured but I think it's going to be up on 39online.com.

    The funny part about it was Jorge Vargas introduced the story like this:

    "The Rockets playoff run has fans coming out in record numbers to support the team. Ray Fisher tells us there's one place you can always find the most hardcore fans.... that's Rockets.com... (pause, then realized he said the wrong site)... Clutchnut"

    -- then cut to the story. It cracked me up. Some day I'll ask him how much Rockets marketing paid him to say that.
