    So, I've come up with a few... if you have one, vote "submitted your own" and please reply with your submission.

    thanks

    "THE GRIFFIN"
    I suggested this in Rockets Chat the other nite and no sooner do I mention it that some nobody Guest in chat comes and takes the name just SECONDS after that!!!

    It was like...
    Guest90025 is now known as "TheGriffin"

    What the hell!?:mad:

    Just like Stevie is "The Franchise", you need some sort of theme for it to work..."The Mailman", "White Chocolate", etc... and so on!:)

    The Griffin, you see, you'll find yourself screaming it out at games..."OOOOOOOOOH, THE GRIFFIN for THREEEEEEEEE!!!!!"

    Function: noun
    Etymology: Middle English griffon, from Middle French grifon, from grif, from Latin gryphus, from Greek gryp-, gryps
    Date: 14th century
    : a mythical animal typically having the head, forepart, and wings of an eagle and the body, hind legs, and tail of a lion

    Kevin "Pops" Willis. :D

    Kelvin "Mad Dog" Cato.

    Walt "Another Brick" Williams.

    Terrence "Slash" Morris.

    Tierre "Deerintheheadlightslook" Brown.

    Rudy "Catonahottinroof" Tomjanovich.

    Carroll "The Hawk" Dawson.

    If not for the negative connotations this nickname would have on defense, I would love to call Oscar "The Matador."

    And Kevin Willis should be Kevin "Whatch you talkin' 'bout" Willis.

    :D

    Let's call Griffin : "a mythical animal typically having the head, forepart, and wings of an eagle and the body, hind legs, and tail of a lion"

    Wouldn't that be great? And at Power Forward for the Rockets! Eddie

    Dr. G... - cuz he is just what the doctor ordered a lil bit of shot blocking, a lil bit of 3 pointers, a lil bit of dunking, and most of all a lil bit of smash it in your face ballplaying!
