    I don't think I hate any team. The Spurs would be the closest I would come to hating a team but I respect them too much to hate them.

    I like Utah's chances against the Lakers. It's the Spurs that I fear...So what do you think the Rockets need to do in the off season?

    In fact, I will be in Utah later this week but please allow me to clarify something. I realize your team hasn't been out of the first round in many, many years but in case you are confused or can't remember that long ago; they don't actually give out banners for getting out of the first round. They usually put banners up for Eastern/Western Conference Champions or World Champions. I do understand your confusion given your team hasn't sniffed the second round in over a decade. One more note, Championships won in the Jordan era when Jordan was playing baseball instead of basketball come with an asterisk, quite like the Spurs Championship of the strike shortened season, and aren't really championships at all, now are they? Or is that revisionist history? Clutch City!

    I agree. The Rockets could have shut it down after Yao went down but they didn't. That is a credit to their coach and their team. They will be much better next year. But IMO they need to upgrade point guard, get a reliable 3 point shooter, and acquire bench depth. Congrats Rockets on a good season. Next year The Rockets will be a much more difficult team to beat.

    I guess T-Mac gets another participation award. Jazz win. Just as I said they would. See you next year, Rockets.

    32K is perfect for the Oakland A's. They just aren't that popular in the Bay Area. They are a distant second in popularity to the Giants. I don't think moving to Fremont is ideal either. Moving further south to San Jose would've allowed them to tap into the Silicon Valley money a bit more. But anything is better than that crappy stadium they share with the Raiders. "Mount Davis" the bleacher seats added for Raider games that they never fill, block what would be a beautiful view of the Oakland Hills. I almost got mugged right outside of Oakland Stadium but that's a whole other story...Oaktown!

    Perhaps if you are going to condescendingly denounce commonly accepted historical facts as revisionist you could enlighten us as to what is historically accurate? Does anyone really like that song they play at Texans games before kick off? The "Whoa oh oh oh...Whoa oh oh oh oh..." song? What is that song? Doesn't it sound remotely...uh...I don't know...less than masculine? Hopefully, the arbiters of appropriate forum etiquette will appreciate my attempts to get the thread back on topic. It's a little too early for me to talk x's and o's so I figured I would throw something out about the overall Texans experience.

    Yeah. The Utah Jazz never really has worked as a name, has it? Not a lot of Jazz in Utah. The name probably should've been changed when they moved from New Orleans. As the Wikipedia pages reads, "New Orleans has the Saints and Utah has the Jazz". Go figure. The aren't exactly lakes in Los Angeles either...They used to be the Minneapolis Lakers which makes more sense. I've always wondered, are there really Jaguars in Jacksonville?

    I found this property that's tucked away into a neighborhood off of Post Oak Blvd. called Post Oak Drive and Post Oak Parkway.

    I really like CDeb. I couldn't agree with CDeb's comments more. 1836 is the year we became The Republic of Texas by having a superior army and winning a just war. Santa Anna signed the treaty giving Texas sovereignty from Mexico after being captured as a prisoner of war. Had Santa Anna posted sentries during his armies siesta, perhaps, his army wouldn't have been routed at The Battle of San Jacinto and we would still be part of Mexico. But it is what it is. Maybe it's time to...um...I don't know... move on and get over it? 1836 should be a badge of pride for all Texans. We are all Texans whether our ancestors were Hispanic or Anglo. The Absolut ad was idiotic as is opposition to the name 1836. I also agree with CDeb about the logo. The Dynamo logo is the bomb.

    Funny! I assure you that I am the last person in this world that thinks he's a moral authority on anything. I just don't think you should call out the coach that has had your back all year after a particularly difficult loss. I'm not saying that makes T-Mac a bad guy or anything. I just think its bad for his team and doesn't make him look very good. The guys on 610 radio were ripping him apart for it. Perhaps they know more about character and integrity than I do.

    Game 4 in Utah. When Okur got the rebound. You don't remember T-Mac calling out Coach Rick?

    Hello all, I've heard stories about this restaurant and lounge called Red Derby Lounge located off Highway 90 at 10720 South Main Street. Does HAIF know about this place? Anyone have any pictures of this place? Or maybe matchbooks? Do share your memories!

    "Coach should have put Deke in! It's all my fault, unless we lose, then it's on Landry and Coach!
  17. scottf
    Yep. All over the map aren't I? Actually, I first said Jazz in six, then I guess I said sweep or five or something. Now I say six. Actually, I could care less as long as Jazz take care of business in SLC. I don't want to see a game 7 in TC. I don't like the Karma of that considering what happened last year.
  18. scottf
    Damn! You are right! That's what happens when you post and drink I guess. I did say that...my bad...Jazz in 6. C'mon man, you know I belong here. This thread would be boring if you didn't have me to kick around. Besides, you and I are on the same team when it comes to the Texans thread and the Astros. I grew up in Utah. That's my team. As are the Texans and Astros. Rockets have played with a lot of heart. More than I would have expected. Adelman has been a great coach this year. But the Rockets need a reliable 3 point shooter, an upgrade at point guard, Yao back, and Scola to continue to improve. Landry in nice too. Next year they will be tougher. But they aren't getting pass the Jazz this year. Cheers.

    Ha Ha! Tru Dat...Believe it or not, SLC is a pretty cool, pretty hip, little city. The rest of the state? Not so much.
  20. scottf
    I never said sweep...I said Jazz in 6 and then after the first two I got greedy and said Jazz in 5. I will stand by my original prediction, Jazz in 6. Nice game in H-Town. Now let's see what happens in SLC. Enjoy.

    Ok, I was researching historic Houston theaters and came across a blog post about a theater called "Texas Theatre" which was located near Congress and Main Street from 1915 until 1921. Surely this theater was renamed at some point? Does anyone have pictures, or postcards of this old theater? Thanks all.

    What's up with the St. Thomas Episcopal Willowbend Field At 4113 Willowbend Blvd. Odd location since their main campus is not in the area, but in Meyerland.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

    Who remembers the old motel near the Texas Medical Center called Regal 8 Inn located at 9430 South Main St. I believe I stayed here back in the day. Anyone have any pictures of this place? Maybe postcards?

    Banned? Why? Go Jazz! I've posted many times on HAIF. Why would I be banned?
