    It looks like the new slogan is not "big" related anymore.

    It looks like the new slogan is, "Are You In?" or "R You In?" (with the Rockets logo R) or "United We Win"

    A couple of notes/questions about the poster:

    • T-Mac looks to have a new tattoo; It is the Bible verse Isaiah 54:17. Hadn't noticed this tat before but I could have missed it.
    • Poster looks really sweet. Its about to go on my wall!
    • One of the ticket packages is Bobblehead Tuesdays. Anyone know the listings of the players and on which date each player is? There are 6 games in this package.
    • I guess this is to be expected but none of the 6 game packs have any of the top draw teams: Miami, Orlando, or the Lakers.
    Tim: When in the complete stadium giveaway schedule going to be released?

    Thanks.

    I just went and got a paper and it wasn't in there.

    What edition do you have?

    I have 4 star.

    What section was it in or by?

    Man, this poster is awesome! :eek:

    I especially like the picture on the "back" above the ticket info where Yao is handing a (palmed) ball to T-Mac with their arms outstretched "wingspan"-style.

    "United We Win" kicks the ever-loving hell out of "Be Big," by the way! It sounds like something out of "Triumph of the Will!"

    Can anyone find this ad on www.chron.com using their AdSearch tool? I couldnt find it, perhaps the display ad is not online.

    In the 2nd poster "Ready for liftoff",

    Yao: "You take it"
    TMac: "Nah, you"
    ...

    As they more than likely are. Yao doesn't really have that long of a wingspan for his size. But he has long arms because of his size if you get what I'm saying.

    Tracy has possibly the longest reach in the league. He and Elton Brand have some of the longest and biggest hands I have ever seen.

    Almost certainly. You saw what happened the last time one of our players missed a trip to play the Kings.
