Step your game SA. I would FOR SURE be there if I wasn't in Cali!!
Wow congrats on that!!! I'd love to go to Hawaii someday as well. I'm being shipped out to Navy Boot Camp on November 9th, so I won't be able to catch many Spurs games this year.

I'm Army/Iraq war vet. My Dad is a retired AF Colonel, flew B-52s. Thanks for your service man!
Yeah Hawaii is nice bro! Boot camp is going to be an eye opening experience, I don't think you will have much time to think about the Spurs. But you made a good choice though, my Grandpa and Uncle both served in the Navy and they loved it! I'm sure you'll make it out this way to Hawaii.![]()
Thanks a lot! Did you get to watch any games on AFN when you were in Iraq? When I was in the Desert back in 03' I watched the spurs win the championship at like 6 in the morning. I stayed up every night to watch all the playoff games, totally worth it. Then in the beginning of this year when I went to Iraq they only showed like 2 games on AFN.
it's shameful, Spurs deserve better than that
Yea I'm sure I won't have time to think of the Spurs, and it wil be a huge experience for me. I do know that through all the toughness I will encounter in basic training I will come out a better man. And by the time I'm finally out of the Navy, I'll know it was all worth it.![]()
Yeah I did when I was at Anaconda (big base N of Baghdad). I was only there for about a month and a half though before we moved out to a FOB in east-central Diyala where I didn't get to see anything. Had internet but no T.V. so the best I could do was watch clips/highlights. I was there in late 03'-04.
Anaconda was sweet because they had a huge rec tent set up with a few big-screen TVs. Lot's of AF/USA people in there talkin smack and watching games together. Usually there would be football on one and basketball/other sports on the other, or whatever was good on AFN at the time.
I was in Korea when the Spurs won the le in 03'. My chief was cool and let me go back to the barracks to watch the games since it was the middle of the day (night before in the states).
You keep some crazy hours when your overseas and a huge sports fan!![]()
Good luck man! Military life is a trip. You're going to see a lot of awesome places around the world, especially in the Navy. If you ever get to Korea, make sure you have a 'soju experience'. I partied a few times with some Navy guys in Pusan So. Korea when we were picking up some vehicles. Never seen people drink as much as Navy guys do in my entire life.
Yea it was usually me and some Laker fans that would stay up that late to watch games. I was in Kirkuk when I was there. I haven't been to Korea yet but I have heard good things about it over there.

I have a class on wed nights so I had to give mine away so I know someone will be in my seat.
I was pretty upset when I got the schedule to see all those wednesday games ( more wed games than any other day ).
But I'll definitely have to make the Dallas and Laker games, class be damned.
Yes Sir!![]()
Damn, the arena looks empty. That's pathetic.
Nice to see the empties disguised with the white shirts.
Late arriving crowd as is typical for a 7pm start. Attendance announced as a sellout with the new number, 18,581. It felt and looked like a sellout or real close. The new Fan Zone on the balcony level is real nice and was packed all night. So was Headlines downstairs.
More 'buzz' from beginning to end than any regular season game in recent memory.
Lets hope Spurs fans keep attending games the whole season. It looks like this years team is going to be very entertaining. With tickets as low as $5 no reason why all games cant be at or near capacity.
This once a season post about not selling out games earlier is getting as old as someone calling a player a "Spur" when they miss a free throw.
Seriously, who gives a when a game sells out as long as it does?
What concern is it to you?
This game was an official sell-out as usual![]()
Good news!
