    His hair was all messed up, his tie was crooked and his shirt tail was hangin out. Hilarious!!!

    Plus, Keith Jones was giving him a neck massage and asking him if he was ok. I thought Rudy was gonna pass out a couple of times.

    That was awesome.

    LOL Yea me and my dad noticed that too. He had his shirt tail out and tie loose and was jumping all over the place and then completely collapsed.

    Note: It was my cowhead. I started the cowhead craze, and my cowhead inspired Mooch to step up and bring us a victory. Thank you for your time. :D

    Gene and Jim got it right. The Rockets were in a prizefight, and Rudy was "Rocky" [​IMG]

    That's what I like about Rudy. No coach gets "into" games as much as Coach T.

    Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon is the greatest player in the history of basketball. If you disagree, you are not a Rocket fan.

    Rudy always looks like he wants to get into the game anyway. While watching him on the sidelines during any game, I keep having this vision of him stripping off his coat & checking in at the scorers table. The man is intense.

    I dunno about you guys, but that is the kind of man I want to coach our team. He's INVOLVED... Always at the center...Calling the zone D's/illegals, arguing every stupid call, a constant stream of curses flowing out of his mouth - tempered only by his staff and the threat of a T...

    Who can't love Rudy?

    How many illegal D's would we get on the opposition without that man running down the sidelines, pointing at the law-breaker, softly (or harshly) dragging a ref to the point in question, and yelling "Illegal D! Illegal D!" the whole way...

    That's usually an extra 5-7 points right there...

    (certainly would've won the game v. Phoenix, had the refs not been obviously biased - I counted 7 points turnaround, and I wasn't even really keeping track at that point)

    Zone D's are so obvious, too... I'm still pissed about the Suns game.

    LOL!!!

    The poor man was probably on his eighth or ninth gin and tonic!!! Love me some Rudy T!!!

    BTW, does anyone know what Rudy's drink of choice is? I'm buying if I ever get to meet him.....

    I think he'll do a Crown&Coke if you offer. For that matter, he'll probably drink a Budweiser - If nothing else is around.

    Anyone ever watch him sipping his drinks during the game? He doesn't sip them like you would a Coke... Funny, it's almost like he doesn't want to swallow it...

    I think Basketball is the only thing Rudy may drink...but nonetheless

    I love it when he does his high stepping, quick ranting move down the bench waving his arms at a bad call. He did this at least 10 times last night.

    He looks like he is trying to run through a field while avoiding dog droppings..errr...poop!

    He is a trip to watch live. A group behind me at the game did nothing, but watch Rudy the whole night..they were rolling. Some watch the game, some watch the Power Dancers and some even watch Clutch the Bear all night. These guys were loading up on suds and popcorn and rolling to the Rudy T sideline show....it was freakin hilarious.

    Rudy is da man! I have always been a Rudy supporter and don't crack on RudyBashers like I should, but I got no problem giving the man his props. I agree he is just as fun to watch as the game is!

    I didn't have the pleasure to see the game in person [​IMG] , but did anyone notice how he put playfully Moochie in a headlock after the game as they were heading up the tunnel. Maybe that's why players love to play for him, there is no coach/player barrier between him and his troops. He's truly "one of them", so to speak.

    GREAT GAME!!

    I usually can remember most of the signifcant details of a ROcks game, but for that one I'ma need a transcript! [​IMG]
