Sorry Pistons Fans, but this is pitiful

[Kori Ellis]

ONLY 20 FANS GREETED YOUR TEAM AT THE AIRPORT!

:wtf If the Spurs showed up at 5am after losing, there would be a couple thousand people at the airport.

How can you guys explain this? And "it was late" is not a good answer.


WATERFORD TOWNSHIP - Nearly four hours after watching the Detroit Pistons lose the championship title to the San Antonio Spurs, Detroit fans waited outside the Oakland County International Airport to welcome the players home.

About 20 fans, some sleepless and still dressed in red, white and blue from the night before, waited outside for the team to arrive.

After watching the game from her home, Nici O'Brien, 18, drove to the airport at 3:30 a.m. with her Richard Hamilton T-shirt still on.

"No matter whether they win or lose, they are the champions of my heart," she said.

[bdubya]

I was seriously bummed to read that, especially after the Palace sold out for the game itself.

My excuse is it's a 5-hour drive, but you're right. :oops

[WayDowntownBang]

You know, I have to agree with you. It never even crossed my mind to go out there. I've never done that before.

Reading that is kind of embarassing.. especially since we had 22,000 strong at Palacevision. Ouch.

[jalbre6]

I thought the airport in Detroit was DTW.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I think that's the difference between having one major franchise in town to having four.

[T Park]

Pathetic...

[RobinsontoDuncan]

Hum.....Well not everyone can be Spurs fans right?

[T Park]

I think that's the difference between having one major franchise in town to having four.

I think thats a bullshit excuse.

[adrienne]

Yeah, 20 is pretty pathetic...but at the same time, the Spurs are IT in San Antonio. Most other cities with an NBA franchise have got other pro sports, so it's not all about one team. San Antonio is actually an exception.

[WayDowntownBang]

I thought the airport in Detroit was DTW.


We've got a few.. DTW (Metro), City, and Oakland County. There are a few other smaller ones around the area as well. Since they went Charter/Private, that's why they went to Oakland I would assume. DTW does all the National/ International flights as well as the rest.

[WayDowntownBang]

I think thats a bullshit excuse.

A guy who gives up on his team DURING the series has no room to talk about people who don't show up for their team AFTER the series. Bite my ass, T Park.

[LuvBones]

That is pretty crazy to sell out the palace and then have 20 people support their team that stretched the series out to 7 games. I'm sure the Pistons felt great to see all 20 people there.

[jalbre6]

Oh, OK. I figured a legit excuse was that the airport( Oakland County) was out in the boonies or something.

[Kori Ellis]

I don't care if it's your only sports franchise or you have 50. Did you have 50 teams from your city playing in Game 7 of the NBA Finals last night? No - you had one! Your team's fans are awesome. They turn the Palace into a war zone during games (I'm not referencing the fight) and I think they are great. But this really disappoints me. Hell, I could've gotten 20 people alone from the forum to go if I lived there and was a Pistons fan.

[Mixability]

at first I thought 20 was a misprint, but nope.... but yeah you do have other teams to root for. For us the Spurs are it, unless you count the Cowboys... sigh.

[mavsfan1000]

I agree that T Park is the last person to give shit to Piston fans.

[Mixability]

I've been hearing alot about this TPark guy, can someone clue me in?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Remember, we were even talking last night about when we wanted to go after the Lakers knocked us out last season, but the Spurs didn't fly in until the next day.

[samikeyp]

DTW is Metro and DET is Detroit city.

sorry...that is just the travel agent in me coming out and im at work right now. Bad habit! :)

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I think thats a bullshit excuse.

I am not trying to make excuses. You guys live and die with the Spurs right? Detroit fans do not live and die with the Pistons. That doesn't mean we don't love them or root for them 110%. I don't know if I can explain it. Hmmm, put it this way, there wasn't thousands of people to meet the Red Wings at the airport after they WON on the road in 1998...

[Horry For 3!]

Thats sad. Pistons played a hard fought game to only come home to 20 fans? That is pathetic. Pistons fans should be ashammed of theirselves if they weren't there.

[WayDowntownBang]

Oh, OK. I figured a legit excuse was that the airport( Oakland County) was out in the boonies or something.


Nope.. about 15-20 minutes away from the Palace, which makes it worse.

[Kori Ellis]

I get that. But I can't believe there's not at least a couple hundred Pistons fans who DO "live and die" with the Pistons.

[samikeyp]

Hmmm, put it this way, there wasn't thousands of people to meet the Red Wings at the airport after they WON on the road in 1998

in Hockeytown?!?!?!?!? :wow

:p

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

in Hockeytown?!?!?!?!? :wow

:p

Yeah, yeah. I'll let that slide after last night.

Miserable piece of shit...

:lol

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

detroit has 4 major teams?

hahaha

lions and tigers and pistons?

That's three Einstein...

[ShoogarBear]

Maybe going to the airport is an SA thing.

I don't think folks ever went to the airport to greet the Celtics when I lived in Boston in the 80s.

[samikeyp]

That surprised me a bit too...given all the passion I saw from Pistons fans this series.

[pooh]

Detroit is more hockey oriented, rather than football, baseball, etc. Going to the airport to see a team off or wait until they come back from a road game, is pretty much a Spurs thing. Just remember Indy fans packed the airport after the brawl to cheer their team home.

[samikeyp]

Indy fans are a lot like Spurs fans(well I mean aside from charging into stands)....for years...all they had was the Pacers and even when they got the Colts they sucked until Peyton got there.

[pooh]

Colts had some success prior to Peyton showing up, but for the most part, it was the Pacers then whoever came next...and also the university of Indiana too.

[jalbre6]

i mean, is there a professional league with teams from around the nation, that is televised? can i watch this Hockey League? do they have games?


If you watch a WNBA game on ESPN wearing your red Chuck Taylors, and click your heels together three times, you will magically be transported to Hockeyland, where the NHL reigns supreme.

[jalbre6]

indianapolis has IUPUI

What's that, Indiana University / Purdue University - Indianapolis? That probably takes up three lines of sheepskin.

You couldn't be any further from the truth. Detroit is NOT hockey oriented. Detroit is 100% football. That's what EVERYONE cares about. You have your hockey fans and your basketball fans, but EVERYONE is a Lions fan. If the Lions won the superbowl, there'd be 3mil at the Parade. Detroit/Michigan is ALL ABOUT FOOTBALL.

In fact, I would put baseball a close second ahead of basketball. Football and baseball will always remain the top of the sports ladder.

Even Darren McCarty (Wings Forward) said that the hockey fans in Michigan are great, but if the city ever won a superbowl the whole state would be partying!


As for the plane thing: I'm a die hard and I never considered going to the plane. I guess its just not something we do here. The Pistons and Wings have their own ariplanes, so maybe that makes it harder to get to. I don't know. Not to mention I was up until 1 am watching the game, and I wouldn't have had a clue as to where or when the plane came in anyway.

[PakiDan]

A guy who gives up on his team DURING the series has no room to talk about people who don't show up for their team AFTER the series. Bite my ass, T Park.

That's the smartest thing I've heard all day.

[timvp]

There was a pretty hardcore Piston fan couple sitting right in front of us. The problem was they started taunting Spurs fans when the Pistons got up by nine. Then in the fourth with about six minutes to go, the girl just starts bawling her eyes out. I've never seen a fan lose it like that. Even with the Spurs fans celebrating, you could hear her cries above it all. She cried from the six minute mark of the fourth all the way until after the ring ceremony.

I would have felt sorry for her, but she was staring down Spurs fans when the Pistons were up and her and the boyfriend started shadow boxing the air in the third quarter. They thought the game was over.

I know it was probably wrong, but the sweetest music I've ever heard is "We Are The Champions" accompanied by a bawling Piston fan. :)

Yeah, you guys must just not do it there.

The Spurs have their own plane too. But we all know where they come in at the airport.

When I lived in Phoenix and L.A., fans always greeted the teams at the airport too -- after wins and losses. So maybe the East coast teams just aren't into it.

[SoundTheToll]

hahaha

detroit has such great football fans that barry sanders retired

What's that have to do with anything? The Lions sell out every game despite the fact that the seats average $60, and the team has never been good.

[SoundTheToll]

hahaha

detroit has such great football fans that barry sanders retired


if you can't see why that has everything to with everything...then i'm sorry

Well, your such a knowledgable Detroit sports fan, why don't you explain it to me.

[Kori Ellis]

I would have felt sorry for her, but she was staring down Spurs fans when the Pistons were up and her and the boyfriend started shadow boxing the air in the third quarter. They thought the game was over.

:lol I didn't know about the shadow boxing part. But I did see him in his pink shirt taunting Spurs fans in the third.

I thought that your team suffered the same curse that the Saints had (until recently)...incredibly supportive fans surrounding a cast of idiots that make football-related decisions, and some really bad luck along the way.

Andre Ware, Rodney Peete (who I was shocked to see still around last season), Scott Mitchell, Mike Utley (sp?) getting paralyzed in a game, Wayne Fontes refusing to use an I formation or TE's with the best RB in the NFL, Barry giving up, etc.

[Rematch+Repeat=Revenge]

Fuck Barry Sanders. I don't care that he wanted to go somewhere else. I'm surprised he didn't do it sooner. But to sign a contract in the summer, take the signing bonus, and then not show up for training camp is chump. He can KMLWA.

And it's really cold of y'all to make fun of there not being any hockey. I've been on life support since the lockout started. Thank God for Prozac.

Don't forget Andolsek(sp?) getting run over by a car while doing yard work in the off season. Reggie Brown getting hurt right before entering the prime of his career...

Dammit it's tough being Lion Fan...

[THE X-FACTOR]

I didn't go because Sheed told me "shit get some sleep we are fine we'll be back next year"

[ShoogarBear]

She cried from the six minute mark of the fourth all the way until after the ring ceremony.

Damn, they had the rings made up already? Good thing the Pistons didn't know about that before the game.

Oh, you mean the trophy. Why the hell would Pistons fans stay around to see that? (Actually I know why. How many times do you get to go to a game 7. I'd soak up every second of that, win or lose.)

[sickdsm]

Pathetic...



Isn't that the most ironic thing?


Tpark calling piston fans pathetic for not being there for there team when they are down?


Your the EXACT thing Ric Bucher was talking about when he said Spur fans are a bunch of chicken littles.

[Uncle_Rico]

You know whats pitiful, sheed. 0 boards. damn. get in and get dirty, i thought that's what is was about.

DEEEEEEETROIT SUCKS MY BAAAAALLLLSSSSS.

[T Park]

Yeah a season ticket holder since 89

damn near go to every spurs game and function,

buy spurs gear, go to every game in the 96 97 season.


Yeah im horrible.


Go away.

[Duff McCartney]

God damn, that is three times in the past week that T Park has used his money to justify his Spur fandom.

T Park you'd do good just to leave the board already. You're becoming the laughing stock of the entire board, if you weren't already.

[T Park]

[JamStone]

Kori,

I'm pretty surprised you started this thread ...

Instead of you die-hard Spurs fans enjoying your well-deserved championship, some of you have taken time to criticize Pistons fans for not going to the airport to receive the Pistons??? That would be the last thing on my mind if I were a Spurs fan.

Having said that, I don't know about all Pistons fans, but a lot of work, even 7 or 8 in the morning. Even had the Pistons won, many fans would not have received them at the airport.

While it may have been a really nice gesture, I don't know if the Piston players would necessarily feel like they need fans to be up at all hours of the night waiting for them, except for close friends and family who did not make the trip. I would also hope that the Piston players know how much the fans appreciate them that they would not need that.

At any rate, perhaps to some of you, it shows a lack of fan support. But, I don't think that way at all. Sold out games with the league's highest attendance record for two straight years (maybe more) show that support. That's more important than waiting up to see their plane land when they are weary and tired and just want to go home after the trip. I don't know if having only 20 people there demonstrates that the Piston fans are not loyal enough or not hardcore enough or not good fans.

It's just ... it is what it is.

[Kori Ellis]

Like I said, I was just shocked that few people showed up.

Every city I lived in -- Phoenix, L.A., San Antonio -- has always done it during the playoffs for their teams. As I said later in the thread, maybe it's just not something that's done in Detroit. It's just odd to me.

[ChumpDumper]

I think that's the difference between having one major franchise in town to having four.Pistons, Red Wings, Shock --

What is the fourth?

[JamStone]

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but ...


Pistons, Lions, Tigers, Red Wings

[ChumpDumper]

I don't know if you're being sarcasticI am, and you still haven't answered the question.

[lordswing]

Michigan's definitely about football. I've got Michigan crazies down in Atlanta here coming dressed in their colors. All of them are smart too for some reason, planning to major in techinical stuff, =/

[bdubya]

Kori,

I'm pretty surprised you started this thread ...

I'm very glad she did. It shamed a bunch of us into passing the hat and taking up a collection to set things right; so now, after the exit interviews, each Piston will get a rimjob from TPark's sister.

[mike detroit]

I thought the airport in Detroit was DTW.

it is. I don't even know where oakland international is.

[milkyway21]

All I can say after these people bashed me before game7, where are they? Piston>Spurs, guaransheed09......

it's pretty embarrassing for a franchise if your fans are embarrassed of your team...:cry :cry :cry.

bandwagoning........
you got your last(?) chance Detroit, Brown might be a Knick top man next yr.

[jochhejaam]

ONLY 20 FANS GREETED YOUR TEAM AT THE AIRPORT!

:wtf If the Spurs showed up at 5am after losing, there would be a couple thousand people at the airport.

How can you guys explain this? And "it was late" is not a good answer.

He said San Antonio is unique that its fans, when there team is down gets horrificly quiet. MOST fans pump up there team when there down. Not you. I feel bad for san antonio. Maybe you sit by Ric every time and give him a bad impression of the city.

I think this was nailed with the opinion that this is just not a detroit thing. first off, half the city has no idea that there even is an Oakland International Airport, secondly, nothing is done in the media here to let us know. there was absolutely no way i could have greeted the pistons this morning. I had no idea where they were landing, and had no clue as to when. that's just not info that get put out here, because it's not a tradition here.

Hey, you may be on to something . . .

Maybe the word got out by mistake the Pistons were flying into DFW.

And there were 5000 Pistons fans in Dallas waiting for them to land.

Boy, they musta been pissed.

OMG kori, that is so crazy!!!

I actually thought about this when we won, i was giving detroit alot of credit and I was thinking...their fans should not be ashamed of too much, this was an awesome team with an awesome run and they took it to 7 games....it came down to the last qtr, etc

and i was thinking, i bet so many fans greet them when they arrive back, to show Detroit that they will always be loved by their fans....

LOL could i have been any further from the truth?????? LOL!!!

How many showed at the Detroit airport by mistake then?

[wildbill2u]

I was seriously bummed to read that, especially after the Palace sold out for the game itself.

My excuse is it's a 5-hour drive, but you're right. :oops

I remember when we lost to Washington in our first NBA playoffs, there were thousands of Spurs fans at the airport to greet the team. Nobody had ever seen anything like it for a losing team. :makemyday

You only have one franchise there. I'm sick and tired of uneducated Canadian bowlers coming on here and trying to big league San Antonio. San Antonio is the 8th largest city in the U.S., and Detroit is 10th...so enough of the my dick is bigger than yours...your dick is smaller. If you understand geography, most San Antonians are Cowboy fans, Longhorn fans, Astro/Ranger fans, etc. Let's look at what we've covered today:

you're missing the point. it's not that people went to the wrong airport, it's that very few people knew where or when the pistons were returning, that information is simply not publicized here. I only mentioned not knowing where Oakland Airport is because even if I somehow had gotten ahold of that information, I still wouldn't have known where to go.

I would agree with this. Never once did I hear from any source about where or when the Pisotns were coming into town. I actually commented to my brother that we should go to greet them.........but I too would have apparently gone to the wrong airport. I figured Metro was where'd they land.

I feel bad for my boys. It would have been great to have a ton of people there to show their love and respect.

I keep thinking we may have some sort of assembly at the Palace for the fans to applaud their team, but again, I haven't heard a single word from any sort of media.

[bigzak25]

as long as you cheered your team to the very end, and never gave up...you got no splainin to do...

[IceColdBrewski]

Not sure any of you should be questioning what the Piston fans did or didn't do to welcome the team back. How many of you actually went out to welcome the team back after the Lakers knocked us out last year? I'm guessing the turnout wasn't all that great.

This post is funny. The Cowboys(notice not SA Cowboys)? Aren't they in Dallas(notice not SA)? Shouldn't you root for the DALLAS Mavs too? Or is it just the good teams from other cities?

And the Tigers have won 4 World Series, how many have the HOUSTON(notice not SA) Astros and Rangers won?

UT football and UM football. They are both great programs. To say UT is better is idiotic when you consider UM is the all-time winningest program. I'll just call it a push for now.

So what exactly did you cover? If you're trying to say that SA is a better sports town than Detroit, you're an idiot...

[PM5K]

Don't know if it's been said but you just can't excuse twenty away, not even by saying that the Pistons aren't the only ticket in town, 20,000 fans managed to fill The Palace but only 20 at the airport?

If you guys had won would there have still only been twenty people at the airport, because as you say they aren't the only ticket in town, no there would have been thousands of people at the airport, face it, your guys lost and you weren't fans enough to support them anyway, and I would have because it was a hard fought seven game series, it's not like they got swept, shit the game was tied going into the fourth quarter...
