    I'm single, that may be caused by the fact that my standards are too high, or the fact that my primary filtration system consists of the following, she must love one of the following things:
    • Houston Rockets
    • Houston Dynamo
    • Team USA Soccer
    • or just have a general obsession for physics

    yeah, I won't budge on that one.

    Mine hates Yao Ming and tolerates the Rox....she is a Spurs fan and thinks that David Robinson is 10 times the player of Yao.

    My girlfriend thinks it's a crazy obsession, but has gotten into it recently, thank God. She also thinks I'm a bit weird for religiously visiting clutchfans. :p

    Mrs.Growley Yetti is taller than me and loved the game ever since she came out of the Chinese mountains in the 1930s. I owe my interest in the game to her. If I didn't have all this hair , bad breath and claws, I would be looking eye to eye with Yao Ming and hoping to be on the Rockets. :p

    My man, I didn't think that game 7 would be the last game of the season. So I bailed and went to that party and had sex with your wife..

    When me and the wife first got together, she had no intrest in sports what so ever.

    She knew I was a Rockets fan but didn't really get into in until I took her down to houston to see a game live. Once she got that experiance under her belt, she become just as diehard as me.

    So much so that at game 7 last year, she was in tears for a good hour or so after the fact. Helping her cope actually made it easier on me.

    She loves it and hates it... she loves it when they win if you catch my drift ;)

    but when they lose sometimes i'm upset... upset to the point where she goes to bed without her "medicine"... as long as she doesnt read this we'll be ok...

    Heres to hoping we blow out the Lakers

    Mine thinks I'm really into it sometimes too much and that I don't pay enough attention to her cause of it. However, I'm getting her interested in it more and more and she's comin over to watch the game with me tonight.

    last year when I did have a significant other she could never understand my obsession with sports in general......I don't have that extra baggage this year so I can do what I want..........I remember there was a game last year that I really wanted to watch and that same night my girl wanted me to come over............................so naturally I did what any man would do.....................I lied and said I had to help my sister move some things so I could watch the game in it's entirerity and then afterwards I proceeded to go over to her crib for a little post-game celebration...............

    my girl goes to the games with me, is clueless about the rules, but thinks it's hilarious that I face paint, and heckle the other team. She also leaves me alone when the game is on television.

    Wow, I'm taking this for granted. I think I need to buy her some flowers.

    Mine puts up with it but doesn't understand it at all. Also, she has great fun making fun of it. If I'm watching a game when she's around she points out everything the commentators say that sounds gay. Such as,

    "He's really great at man on man."

    "He likes to get in there and bang bodies."

    "Chuck gets his hands on a lot of balls."

    "He has a great body."

    As well as anything to do with driving it to the hole or Luther Head.

    It would be more impressive had your friend said "maybe he'll love you as much as he does the Astros one day."...

    My-ex didn't even know who the rockets were..(she moved here from a different country) and I would babble about them constantly which she thought was weird.. She asked me when I would take her to a game and I said in November and she blew up asking "why so long?" I told her that they were actually in offseason and not playing and she looked at me as if I was crazy for talking about them so much when they weren't even playing.. (come on, how do you not talk about the rockets with the moves morey made this year?)..

    Whats sad is now it's November and I'm not with her anymore so I can't take her to her first game.. ahh it sucks being single again :(

    My wife loves whatever Im into...so its all good.
    I usually play NBA2K with my kid before the game starts, since hes only 6 months old and cant really hold the controller properly, you'd imagine I win the game with ease, say, Rockets 110-0 Jazz(well, I chose the team for my son) :D

    She had to eventually just accept it, and join in on the obsession.
