    So did you love the 93-95 Rockets because of who played on the team or because these guys were the Houston Rockets? What if those same guys played for the Utah Jazz at that time and they won two titles back to back in identical fashion? Would you be a Utah Jazz fan?

    According to your logic, the answer would be an unequivocal yes because as you said, it's all about "REPRESENTIN." If Cassell played for the French and Hakeem was a commie, you would be a beret-wearing sickle man, right? ;)

    I admire your love for our championship teams. Few people hold on to those memories like you do. That being said, it's all about the team and not the players. I didn't care about Pete Chilcutt when he was a Sacramento King. I didn't care about Chucky Brown when he was a Yakima Sun King. We like those Rockets because they were Rockets. I know you don't cheer for the Spurs today because Horry is a Spur.

    As I said, I do admire your admiration for Rockets of the past. Keep it up man!

    Actually, the previous insult has nothing to do with where I went to school. I was responding to some poster's incredibly witty and mature joke about me having a vagina. It was more a statement about this penis envy UT haters seem to have. (Hint: most of them couldn't get in.) Of course your tirade against my innocuous post leads me to believe that you have a similar chip on your shoulder.

    Awww, I was right about that chip. How cute. Incredibly, you managed to pick six excellent schools that all happen to be ranked below Emory. Also, I'm not quite sure why you chose to include NYU in this incredibly well thought out list: it's actually a private institution.

    So you want to randomly insult my alma mater, and then say "But hey, let's not discuss any of this. I just want to talk ****."

    You are the only one doing the insulting. How could I have been insulting where the guy got his degree if I don't even know where that is? I was insulting his r****ded joke. Get a clue.

    They are completely infatuated. Love will make you do some pretty dumb things. If the Utah Jazz somehow signed Vince Young these guys would now be Jazz fans. It's unbelievably deplorable but true.

    P***y whipped Titans fans are just pathetic.

    He can be great all he wants. I wont give a **** unless he plays for Houston. Until then, he's the enemy and that's the way it should be.

    Very misleading. You should have posted the full numbers from the USA Today article for context.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-LOS ANGELES 44,981 10,577 23.5%
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-BERKELEY 37,001 8,833 23.9%
    NEW YORK UNIVERSITY 34,457 12,008 34.8%
    COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY 9,606 3,368 35.1%
    UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL 17,591 6,441 36.6%
    UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA-MAIN CAMPUS 14,824 5,760 38.9%
    EMORY UNIVERSITY 10,372 4,357 42.0%

    All of the schools listed have significantly more applicants than Emory, except for William and Mary. W&M, however, has a smaller student body than Emory. Acceptance rates out of context don't necessarily indicate a higher level of selectivity.

    21. University of California—Berkeley *
    24. University of Virginia *
    26. Univ. of California—Los Angeles *
    27. U. of North Carolina—Chapel Hill *
    31. College of William and Mary(VA) *
    34. New York University

    of course he does, there are only a few of us that would bleed for dream, rudy t and the rest of the heroes that saved the world.

    there's no equality in the loyalty world. people who say that are just lemmings.

    when rudy t was coaching the lakers, i cannot hate him for what he did. if rudy t wins and succeeds, it proves that he was one of the greatest coaches of all time, and that the teams that won CHAMPIONSHIPS for the Houston deserve more credit and glory.

    when cassell takes whatever crap team to the playoffs, thats more glory to the legendary rockets.

    who really freaking cares about the texans? they CERTAINLY DO NOT deserve the same loyalty as the Rockets.

    What's next? people claiming Mike Jones is a better rapper than Tupac??

    i mean, half the city is Cowboy fans anyways. when david carr brings the same glory that Vince Young did to his town and his highschool and his hood and his state and his mom and his boys, then you can guys can pop that bottle.

    right now, I'm the #1 Stunna here. and people hate on it, I'm the Dream!
