I was riding downtown last night, when I decided to start using my cameraphone to take pictures of Go Spurs Go banners.

I only found 2 last night, but I know there are tons more, and I plan to take pictures of them as I see them.

Anyhow, here are the first 2



The Frost Bank Building on Houston.

Ahh, home sweet home. I've got my old school car flag from the 99 season, though I don't fly it on my vehicle because I figure simply driving a car in Houston is dangerous enough without adding something to make it an even better target for road ragers and vandals.

this time of year, if the Spurs are winning, is when ALLL the Go Spurs Go banners come out.


Its really cool, you see the car flags on every other car, lots of Spurs stuff on the corner of the streets.

The town is really awesome this time of year.

Yeah, I thought so too, but I didn't see it and I was on my bike and after a shitload of riding I was dead tired.

I'll find it today, I'll be down there again at some point this afternoon.

"you see the car flags on every other car"

uh, no. I was very disappointed in low %age of car flags in 03 and 04 (I kept my 2 car flags on ALL YEAR after the 03 Title), but there is absolutely no way "every other car".

Sweet, there are a couple of GO SPURS GO signs up over here by my work on the Southside...i'll take a couple of pics sometime.

BTW that's some pretty good quality for being a cameraphone Manny.

I'm living near Seattle and didn't see one Sonics banner up during that series. I had my Spurs flag on the car and got quite a few shocked looks and a couple of middle fingers. Once again, no heart up here. Damn I miss the land of great fans and breakfast tacos. (send tea).

seriously, that would be pretty cool on your handle bars this time of year! you'd get a lot of honks from fans. you could also put Go Spurs Go signs on the back of your ears too!

Or better, yet, I could have a loudspeaker on there too that way I could blast a recording of Go Spurs go.

You know, that way people who have problems reading - such as yourself - wouldn't be left out.

Not really. It takes a bit more than 5th grade insults from a man who is afraid to show up or show a picture of himself to hurt.

Mom and I were planning on going around town and taking pictures. Dixie Flag Company has their big flag up. Its the same type of flag that they hang at the SBC Center. I also saw one off 35 North near (south of, I believe) South Park Mall.

Speaking of spirit, my Jeep is all ready for some nice stickers, it's already silver and black so where can I get some good stickers?

I saw one guy that has the silouhette of some Spurs players but no idea where he got them from.

I know Academy carries a few things and I see the flags at HEB I believe....

Where else and what else?

Those damn $10 car flags tear apart after a week of flapping in the wind. Will have to make due with my bumper sticker. But I saw a huge flag off 281 the other day near downtown...don't know which building it was in front of, but it was northbound. There's also a few large buildings along I-10 that have banners and I think USAA usually has one up. Keep posting the pictures you find, though!

Manny is a stupid dipshit who has tried to fondle me on more than one occassion.

With that said, ride your bike out to 1604 and I-10, we've got a banner up.

"Those damn $10 car flags tear apart after a week of flapping in the wind."

yep, I've had to sew mine up several times already. The best is not fly them at all until you heavily stitch the rear corners, because once the material is frayed, almost impossible to repair it.

I think black duct tape might help, but probably would be too heavy.

Dixie Flag could probably make a more robust car flag, but it would cost $30.

I work in a 411 call center where we are split up into teams...all the time....each team had been asked to put up some type of spurs related things.....our team manager didn't tell us until the last minute and the good spaces were taken......some of the team became quite elaborate and resourceful.....we have just a stinkin' bulletin board sized area......oh well...it is still cool....plus we can "dress down" on Spurs' game days.

I know this picture sucks, but it's the best I could do going 80 down 35. It's the Academy out on 35, they have a Go Spurs Go sign up on the upper left corner of their building. You can just see a black thing inthe picture.

Don't forget the banner hanging from the giant crane off I-35 south, right next to South Park Mall. H.B. Zachary. They also have a small banner along the front of their main building as well.
