	Augusta Georgia: sports@ugusta: Johnson-fueled Astros energizing Houston fans 08/09/98
		This ceased being a football town when the Oilers fled to Tennessee after the 1996 NFL season; the Rockets won over Houston with NBA titles in 1994 and '95, but a lockout threatens to test fan loyalties.
		While it's possible Johnson, a free agent at the end of the season, will go elsewhere next year for millions of dollars for his 97 mph fastball, Houston fans are hopeful he'll stick around to send the Astrodome out in style next season.
		That leaves the Astros, who faltered at the box office after the 1994 strike snuffed out a promising season.
