    Not only that, neither "Houston" nor "1836" is necessarily in the English language. Seems like a reasonable way to accommodate both English and Spanish speaking fans.

    this name is stuuuuuuuupid! what the crap??? how can you have a team named after a year? whats the mascot going to be, a freaking calendar? the 49ers were named after people that came to cali in 1849, so at least thats something. its so weird to say it even: "hey guys you wanna go watch the 1836ers........er i mean the houston 1836es.....err i mean houston 1836?" it doesnt even sound like it has anything to do with sports when you say it! geez. i hope they didnt actually pay anyone to come up with that name.

    I just called my cousins in Mexico. They said to give you props, main.

    Props to you from me, too, Fatty.

    (I'd give you "kudos" or some other bull, but I feel more MACHO than that)

    well, theres the exception. but at least they put the "ers" at the end of it so it actually sounds like a team instead of just some weird thing.

    You did get a shoutout on 610 a few minutes ago, though.

    "I wonder what idiot came up with this name?" -- Dave Harbison

    Congrats.

    I like the name, and I don't really understand all the scorn. If you, as a sportsfan, need some cutesy animal mascot to get into a team, well, you're probabaly a chic.

    man, i could not agree more. it's traditional. fits well with the sport. i really like it.

    i think the alternative was a rocket with teeth or something. :)

    Let's just hope the uniforms don't have pin stripes when they finally show them. :eek:

    Also, the site is updated with the new colors, it looks like light blue will be in the color scheme also.

    I think it should be BBS law that any post that mentions cheerleaders should be accompanied with pictures!!

    Personally I think it's great, and I think that people who don't think it's great are ignorant and narrow-minded.

    In conclusion, congratz Fatty.

    I think it should be a rule to not underline any text that alludes to naked cheerleaders. I was trying for five minutes to click it... :)
