Spurs facing another non-sellout

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Man, the Spurs PR machine. Seriously. Are they trying to guilt San Antonio into going to the games? This is some serious bull and ing ridiculous, alright. I just put the onus on the Spurs. Sell your ing tickets but don't cry if they don't sell.

The Spurs don't have some sort of birth right to sell outs they have an obligation to themselves to get the fans in the seats. Last time I checked you don't about customers if they're obviously not happy with your product.

LOL @ you blaming PR




Spurs fans are weak in SA

[Melmart1]

I didn't say EVERYONE in SA is fat, are you implying that yourself..

I moved away 13 years ago because all I saw was fatness and poorness

Hmm, sounds like thats what you were saying... I mean, fatness and poorness was ALL you saw!

I was born and raised in San Antonio so I have every flippin right to express my opinion!! Case closed.[/

As do I, and my opinion is that its very easy for people like you to look down on people here in the city when you live 1300 miles away. Some people have responsibilties and obligations financially that don't allow for them to spend money on tickets, parking and a $4 bottle of water. It is not as cut and dry as you and others here seem to think. I will be watching from here at home and I refuse to believe it makes me less of a fan because I didn't charge tickets that I will be making 'the minimum $10 payment' that you talked about on them for months to come, plus interest.

[violentkitten]

I can't go tonight because of work commitments, but I'm going to Game 5, unless the Spurs sweep.

And I live 220 miles away.

And it'll be in the 200's because I'm Puro San Antonio.

bringing susie with you?

[DarrinS]

Maybe the seats at AT&T are about 40% too narrow for the backside of the average San Antonian. Is that it?

I've seen people at the games that I wondered how in the they got into their seats. I'm 5'10" and 180, and those things are pretty snug. I'm not tall at all and my knees hit the seat in front of me.

[Extra Stout]

No, Todd said he'd rather stay at home in his gated community. It's up to us out-of-towners to pick up the slack.

The ushers have cheater bars and WD-40 to help.

Is that like an ass horn? You know -- like an ultra large shoe horn?


You know what's wierd are those luxury suites. Those people pay a lot of money for tickets (or their company does), and what do they do? They open a door, go into a little room, and watch it on TV. Then, during commercials, they go out and become part of the crowd.

nah, thad and susie like to have their quickies when there's lots of crowd noise.

so now you are going to dissect all my post for your benefit? Maybe that is what I/Me saw and that is how I choose to see it and if you think that is looking down on people thats your perogative. And you don't think I don't have responsibilities? spare me with the self rightous bull . I moved away because I did not see any hope for myself and I am grateful I did, but that is TOTALLY beside the point.
Lets stay on the subject at hand shall we?

The point is the GAMES ARE NOT A SELLOUT and its a travesty!! if money is the excuse then so be it. The credit card was a suggestion, people charge other on there why not a Spurs game.

[dustybottoms]

This will never happen in Salt Lake! Jazz fan here looking forward to some friendly banter and a great series.

Yeah, but in Salt Lake I'm sure they give out free T-shirts.

[violentkitten]

and plenty of jebediahs and ezekiels who are banking.

[judaspriestess]

Yeah, but in Salt Lake I'm sure they give out free T-shirts.

are the t-shirts really that important?

[violentkitten]

todd might use his tshirt to wax his h1.

[DarrinS]

nah, thad and susie like to have their quickies when there's lots of crowd noise.

Who the are Thad and Susie?

[violentkitten]

see page, uh, 13

[DarrinS]

Oh, ... doesn't apply to me. I'm too practical. I would never buy a Hummer. Isn't a Hummer a Suburban with "body armor"?

[violentkitten]

not the h1, my friend

[judaspriestess]

not the h1, my friend

what vile things those H1's are, drive a Prius instead, I do

[DarrinS]

not the h1, my friend

People need their uban assult vehicles to take on the off-road trip to HEB and Starbucks.

[violentkitten]

the h1 is the ultimate driving machine for san antonio de bexar. is that '91 ford escort going 40 in front of you on 1604 pissing you off? changing lanes to pass it.

[DarrinS]

Let's see,... the H1's are really big. People that buy H1's must be compensating for something really small. Hmmm,... what could it be?

[violentkitten]

dunno. guess todd's feeling pretty threatened by thad.

[Extra Stout]

See, here's the misconception. The Spurs welcome fans into the arena no matter how small their penises are.

Are you guys serious?? It is not a sellout!!! You guys need to appreciate what you have and support the Spurs. That is a crime your building is not sold out. I know you guys beat us, but ask what the atmosphere was like in Game 5. Don't take for granted what you have.

[violentkitten]

puro san antonio has been priced out of the building.

Did they give out free T-shirts in Phoenix?

[LilMissSPURfect]

Yeah, but in Salt Lake I'm sure they give out free T-shirts.

left for a couple of hours and this thing is still rolling.....WOW

[LilMissSPURfect]

2 x

[LilMissSPURfect]

welll Spurstalk tshirts were awesome!

I think that Phoenix crowd in game 5 helped fuel the Spurs win in game 6. There's no way the Spurs wanted to go back there.

wow booyah you made a very, very valid point!!

Its a shame isn't it.

[Extra Stout]

Sun fan needs to understand:

1) Puro San Antonio has been priced out of the building
2) Puro San Antonio, despite not being able to get into building, dominates 'Club 200'
3) Apparently Puro San Antonio tricked security into thinking they were the custodial staff, or food service
4) Suburb Fan won't go to the game because he wants to bang his neighbor's wife on his neighbor's new suede chair instead
5) Suburb Fan doesn't want to be around Puro San Antonio, even though Puro San Antonio has been priced out of the building, except for the ones who snuck into 'Club 200'
6) The Spurs suck at marketing because they don't advertise to Suburb Fan that they have priced Puro San Antonio out of the building, and also they don't give out free T-shirts or discount hot dogs.

After reading all of this, I'm sure you understand why San Antonio won't support the Spurs, dynasty or no dynasty.

[violentkitten]

apparently the counties surrounding bexar county are full of upper middle class hummer h1 driving diehard spurs fans who like hanging out with puro san antonio in nosebleed seats.

If only they were...

[DarrinS]

Are stout and violentkitty the same person?

[violentkitten]

the spurs fans in their mid 20s to mid 30s who are banking and wouldn't mind dropping $400 or whatever on a playoff game are not in san antonio de bexar. they are in houston, dfw, austin, nyc, la, seattle, dc, etc...but not in san antonio. the best you can hope for is that they make it back every playoffs for a game or two.

I'm not really in a position to drop a car payment every other day so I can be a cheerleader.

[bdictjames]

Damn if I wasn't so far from San Antonio Id buy tickets for the family
