Pissed in Sacramento

[efrem1]

Well, here is my story:

Eager with anticipation, I track the SPurs' charter plane on flight Aware.com and counted down the minutes to their arrival. I timed it so I can get off work, walk across the street to the Hyatt.

Incredibly, I arrived just in time for the Spurs bus to pull into the hotel (around 5:15 PST). I was eager to meet the great ones from Duncan to Oberto when things went sour. There were a bunch of anti-Schwarzengger protesters out in force at the hotel at the same time so security was beefed up. I went toward the bus when a security man told me I was tresspassing. I said to him that I am not with these protesters and wish to get some autographs and say to our mighty Spurs. I got angry when he said that no autographs were allowed!! :madrun Those jerks kept me back a long distance and I was none too pleased.

There was a silver lining though. I got interviewed by Mr. Sears (?) of KSAT and Don Harris. I was so excited that I stumbled at my lines regarding how the SPurs will sweep the Kings. So folks, you might catch me on KSAT or WOAI tonight or tomorrow!! I will put up a few pictures later that I managed to take before they went inside. So until then---WE ARE SPURTACUS!!! :elephant

P.S. Where were all you SActo SPurs fans? I was the ONLY one there with a GO Spurs GO sign.

[angel_luv]

I'll look for your interview on t.v. :)

[boutons_]

Such bad luck.

But way to show your support for the team.

Don't take this the wrong way but if I were on the Spurs I wouldn't trust people coming up to me in Sac town. I am sure they just would reather be left alone I used to work at a 4-seasons in a major city and we had tons of teams in and we would sneek them in and out threw the back door. They are so bothered all the time by fans they just want to be left alone at times.

[AlamoSpursFan]

Mr. Alexander of KSAT???

You mean David Sears?

[TDMVPDPOY]

yea they like to have some personal time in their life - no cameras no reporters -

[angel_luv]

I bet they were/ would be happy to know they had a die hard fan in town.

[missmyzte]

^^^^ I learned recently it was nicknamed the 'Hyattburger' by Kings fans.

[Vashner]

Cool story. They still using the Champion 727 charter right?

They are some of the last 727's flying. Very few now.

Indeed they did. The flight time was just over 3 hours from SAT to SMF.

It was pretty funny, everyone's protesting and there you are with a Go Spurs Go sign just chanting "Go Spurs Go!" :lol

[T Park]

What sucks about Sacramento, along with the other things,

their airport, is Literally, prob 8 miles from downtown.

Their arena is that far from it. But they are both out in the middle of nowhere.


your driving along flat land, then all of a sudden, POOF, heres Arco, drive farther along I think its 80, and POOF theres an airport.


Im biased, I do business all month of August and part of September, and I cant stand the place when Im there.

So I cant say anything about Sac objectively.. :lol

[tw05baller]

I just saw you on TV. :lol
what channel was it?

[angel_luv]

I missed it- was watching WOAI news.

[ashbeeigh]

They showed him on Woai as well.

[SANANTOJAMES]

man thats awesome i hope i get to see it

[T-Pain]

will they show it again tomorrow? i was at work. can anyone remember what they said?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice work efrem, you are a true fan (no, actually, a true fan would've knocked the security out with a taser and rushed the bus... no, that's "The Fan"... sorry). :lol

However, less of this please: "WE ARE SPURTACUS!" It sounds like Spurs fans are prone to premature ejaculation. :oops

[efrem1]

For reference Ruff, I take that from the movie Spartacus with Kirk Douglas where he says "I am Spartacus!"

Here are the few pictures that got while cheering the SPurs arrival in Sacto.

I think so, they asked if I was from SA. I told them that used to live on Fredricksburg and Magic Dr.

where r d spurs?

[efrem1]

where r d spurs?

I was approaching their bus as they got off. However, the security people told me to back away post haste. I could not get a clear shot by then.

[SA Gunslinger]

I'm glad that security is playing it on the safe side. These next two games are gonna be incredible.

[NaS]

Is that the Hyatt?

[angel_luv]

Thanks for the pics. I must have tuned in a half second too late. I saw the protesters but missed the sign.

[leemajors]

So you would rather have ARCO downtown and have it be impossible to find parking? The ticket prices would also rise considerably.

You are a dumb peace of shit if you think all of Sacramento sucks. It is probably just because you prefer the overweight women of Texas.

i'll take overweight over blonde silicon bimbos.

[Rummpd]

Go Spurs and beat Queens. This one will be a war but Spurs will prevail.

[ploto]

That is classic! All those protesters and then one guy with a Spurs sign!

That kinda blows that the Spurs are stuck in a 727. When I fly into SAT for the Spurs/Mavs game, I saw the big 757 with the Mavericks tail. That is a sweet team jet and I'm sure Cuban has it all pimped out inside.


But Cuban doesn't just try to market the Mavericks to fans—he's also constantly marketing the team to opposing players (who are potential free agents) and even to his own players (ditto). Because of the NBA's salary cap, there are limits to how much Cuban can out-pay other owners for his players. To get around that, he lavishes his team with perks, such as a $46 million Boeing 757 he bought to take the players on road trips. Cuban's plane features a weight room, catered meals, and a facility for trainers to provide medical treatment. Cuban also makes sure the team stays in the best hotels in town, he bought the players brand-new luggage, and he sends limos to pick them up during icy weather.

Damn, and the Spurs are traveling in an ancient 727. Step it up Holt.

[Hook Dem]

I don't like the looks of that Penske truck. Remember Oklahoma City?

[alamo50]

It was pretty funny, everyone's protesting and there you are with a Go Spurs Go sign just chanting "Go Spurs Go!" :lol

Now YOU got your priorities straigth efrem!!!

This need to get in the archives without a doubt.

Actually the Spurs have flown in one of the Mav's planes before.

I asked Gino about the plane on his message board.

He told me, " The plane was Ok, nothing incredible."

Granted this was the loaner plane. :lol

[HaterzEraser]

were you in a shirt and tie with a GO SPURS GO sign.

if so you were all over the local news.

That was him. There is a picture in the other thread.

The women of San Antonio don't have those stupid Tribal earrrings like all the white trash does in Sacramento.

Ill take my SA ladies thank you.

Had quite a few beautiful latinas here last night :sombrero:

Downtown??

Doesn't have to be, but within the vicinity of town would've been alright.

I don't really care, Im there way more than I want to be in August and Sept.

Everyone I work with, and for HATES going there, along with me.

trouble spelling chief?


My help and the other workers, look better than the trash that walks onto the damn facilities.


They also walk in with horrible attitudes.

Of course if I had to live there year round, Id be pissed off all the time too more than likely.

anybody that knows me will tell you im hardly in a bad mood

Im a happy go lucky guy.

Honest.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Maybe because you are gay?

Gay? Yeah T Park is gay! So what GiG?!!

I'm gay too! What's there not to be gay about?!! The Spurs are 2-0 in the playoffs and poised to make a great run at back-to-back titles. Life is good! I can't remember when I've been this gay! Every mutherfvcker in this place should be gay considering how well this team is doing!! Now STFU, support your team, and enjoy the moment you gay freaking bastard!!

[efrem1]

They came off the bus at the same time the hotel security told me to go back. They all got off the bus before I can get any good pictures.

Fat women? lol

Dude, don't you have some guy on guy porn to film?

You're the Todd!

[efrem1]

Well, it looks as if the hotel people mean business. I got downtown at 11:30 a.m. this morning to take my son to the Spurs folks at the Hyatt. As we entered the lobby, I saw Van Exel and Finley be the last boarders of the charter bus heading for practice. When I started to take pictures of them entering the bus, a hotel man by the name of Patrick yelled at me and said that I was not to be on hotel property and told me to get out. He said I could wait at the sidewalk and try to call them over, but it would be from a great distance. Yep I am sure dissapointed. :depressed

[ALVAREZ6]

Can't you put all of your hotel experiences in one thread?

[efrem1]

I will do that next time. I am pulling the plug on the getting autographs at the hotel idea and maybe try to see them as they get on the plane tommorrow.

[ALVAREZ6]

security is extremely anal these days, and especially during the playoffs.



Good luck in getting autographs, but I think your chances are slim.

[SilverPlayer]

You have to realize the entire reason for hotels to exist for a clientele like the Spurs is to give them a place away from harassment. That's what most hotels view their job as, when they host someone with any sort of name recognition.

[T Park]

Yeah, while it may seem rude, the Spurs are trying to get away and focus.

Hotel staff is more than likely following the orders of the team.

[Vashner]

Dude you should of made a little sticker for your shirt "SPURSTALK MEDIA PASS" lol

:)

[RON ARTEST]

you might as well give up. you aint getting any autographs.

[exstatic]

Dude, the hotel is home for the players on the road. Would you go stand in their driveway for an autograph? If your answer is yes, you need therapy. Leave them alone.

[Kori Ellis]

Dude you should of made a little sticker for your shirt "SPURSTALK MEDIA PASS" lol

:)


Please, leave SpursTalk out of this. :lol

Efrem, you should really simmer down, you can't stalk the team. You are going to end up getting arrested.

[pking]

Ok pking. Watch the SPurs win another, YES Another title and we'll be flying an Airbus 380 next year and show you up. :)

Wow. Posting pictures of the plane had nothing to do with trying to show your team up. It had to do with people were talking about it, so I found pictures of it. The end.
