    I see Rudy T in the mix also. It's always cool to look at the history of our team.

    Nice find, OP.

    Indeed it's Rudy T with the face mask because of the infamous incident with Kermit Washington.

    Yes. The only time people showed up were the post championship years and even that didn't last very long.

    Espeically back in the '70s when the team was unproven. When they started going deep in the playoffs is when it got a bit better. The '77 team is the farthest any Houston team ever made it in the playoffs up to that point (Eastern Conference Finals).
