You know you are a Spurs fan if....

by **SAmikeyp** on Sat Feb 05, 2005 1:47 am

(let's have some fun) 
 
You name your sons George, David and Tim 
 
You spend hundreds of dollars to be able to say "play some freaking defense" in four different languages. 
 
You walk around whistling "ole! ole,ole,ole!" 
 
You are at your kid's basketball game and you start yelling "Four down!" 
 
You threaten the kids you coach that if they screw up you are going to "go Popovich" on them. 
 
You actually wonder what happened to Bob Hill. 
 
You blame Dennis Rodman for the 1995 WCF meltdown...and link that to global warming, terrorism and higher gas prices. 
 
You still have plastic beer cups from the Dome and Hemisfair. 
 
You wanted to cut your hair like Dwayne Schintzius. 
 
You can spell Schintzius. 
 
You once thought Ed Nealy was God. 
 
You now know Manu is God. 
 
Any more? 
We few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.Edited by: <A HREF=http://p204.ezboard.com/bsanantoniospurs62937.showUserPublicProfile?gid=samikeyp>SAmikeyp</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://www.currensnet.com/Pagemill/texas.gif" BORDER=0> at: 2/5/05 12:48 am

You travel to other states to see them play. 
 
Oh wait, dang it! I'm not a Spurs fan <div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://www.mistilynn.com/temp/banner.jpg" style="border:0;"/></div>

my add-ins that applies to me... 
 
you check a month in advance for their national televised games and mark your calendar for it. 
 
you cancel plans with your friends to watch the game. 
 
you devot time in forums. 
 
you sometimes call the spurs teams as "our" team or "we're" like you're aplayer of the spurs...

You know you are a Spurs fan if.... 
 
you spend half your day sitting in front of your computer hitting the refresh button hoping that there is a new thread or reply.

icemanfan · by **icemanfan** on Sat Feb 05, 2005 4:41 am

Your co-workers call you to find out if the Spurs are playing that night, whom they are playing, where they are playing and at what time. 
 
You own a pair of Billy Paultz game worn shorts 
 
You know who Billy Paultz is 
 
You have a game worn Swen Nater Jersey. 
 
You know who Swen Nater is. 
 
You think Larry Kenon was under-rated and your SURE that 
Artis Gilmore should have been inducted to the HOF! 
(on a personal note Artis Gilmore SHOULD BE IN THE HOF!) 
 
You think of a Spurs player and not of a coach when someone mentions George Karl (guy was all hustle) 
 
Your 6 year old wears a 1986 Spurs #21 Alvin Robertson jersey to school 
 
You take pride in the fact that of only four quad doubles recorded in NBA history Spurs players account for two. David Robinson and Alvin Robertson (Alvin being the only player to have steals as one of the categories and the only non center to have accomplished that feat). 
 
(I will spare you the rest as I am having too much fun with this).

You print out the season schedual for the year and tape it on your bedroom wall for easy reference. 
 
At work, you brag to everyone about how good Manu Ginobili is getting. 
 
It makes your day when you find out you have a day off on the same day the Spurs play on national TV. 
 
You still spend as much time as ever on these forums even with slower internet speed, even if it keeps you up an hour or so later than normal.

You travel to the US from Europe 7 times in 4 years time to watch your favourite team play.

You know who Pat Tallman was and miss him every time you hear Stan Kelly. 
 
You know where you were when Rod Strickland made "the pass".

You have done the cotton-eyed joe during a time out (the original version) 
 
You know who Al Sturchio is. 
 
You never forgave Larry Brown for his "guacamole" remark. 
 
You hope Mychal Thompson walks into a chopper blade. 
 
You wanted to dunk like Edgar Jones. 
 
You remember Steidel's Wine Coolers. 
 
You paid a kid $10 for his mini-basketball that was given away that night. 
 
You say a prayer to Angelo Drossos.

You schedule your trip back home from Brazil to San Antonio in mid May through mid June, banking on the faith that the Spurs are winning the championship and you plan on attending all the home games. <div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6171/GD.jpg"/></div>

You don't have to explain why you are so grouchy at work following a spurs game...your co-workers know that the spurs just lost. 
 
You plan on touring the houses of various Spurs players...and you don't think you're crazy for doing it! 
 
You actually get "giddy" after reading a reply to a question you asked in a CERTAIN player's personal forum <div style="text-align:center">

You hang out at Spurs Central all year long, in season or out of season. 
 
You have Outlook set off an alarm on Spurs game days. 
 
Your favourite jersey # is 00 
 
You still wear your 20-yr old Spurs wristbands when playing hoops. 
 
You stick up for the Spurs even when surrounded by hoards of bandwagon Lamers who don't know cr@p about basketball, shutting them up and scattering them...winning every argument with merit, style, and incredible detail. --
