^^^Kori. Do you know why they stick with this song? Is it for tradition? Does Timmy love it? I'm seriously curious.

I don't know who is in charge of it or why they use it. I don't get why Spurs fans get in such an uproar about it though. A lot of sports franchises use it. It doesn't really bother me -- it's only a small part of all the music they use before the game.
The only thing that sucked was last year when the lights weren't working properly in the arena and they put it on repeat for the 10 minutes when they were trying to fix them
on repeat for 10 minutes? OMG!!!
Actually it's bothersome, because we can do better than that even if other sports franchises use it or not. We saw the difference in the Finals against Detroit. It's just a small thing and not the game itself, but I am interested in all the aspects of the Spurs.

Your PA announcer needs help really bad. He must always be constipated.
i associate technotronic more with the rockets, it was a constant during their repeat le seasons. the spurs are still playing it though.
Ill be the announcer!!!
I got mad mic skillz yo!!!
The heavy-set people full of dressing and giblet gravy were probably REAL hot in there.
Quit complaining about the heat. No excuse. The Boston Celtics fans didn't have AC in the old Boston Garden and they still cheered loudly.
I swear to, if you can tell me when you need A.C. in Boston during the NBA season...
The Finals in June. Lack of A/C cost the Lakers at least 1-2 games during the 80s.I swear to, if you can tell me when you need A.C. in Boston during the NBA season...
That's because the seats were still affordable for real fans and not the corporates.
I have never read something like this from any Spurs fan site.
If I lived in SA, I would be a regular at every game and known for yelling for my team. And not in the drunken disrespectful way either.
I hope the fans are not being selfish like that though. That makes fans look bad.
The mood last night was only marginally worse than the mood before Game 6 of the 2005 Finals in that building. Most nights, SBC Center is a fairly arrogant crowd that just pretty much assumes that the Spurs are going to win and, thus, just settles in to watch the game and cheer politely at appropriate times. I can understand that in November, but the fact that it happened in a game to close out a championship was ridiculous.
As for the song, I recall that the Spurs did actually try to change it once. In a playoff series a couple of years ago at the Alamodome (I want to say against Minnesota in 1999, but I'm not sure) they used a different song to introduce the lineups before a game and the Spurs ended up losing. The next home game, "Ya'll Ready for This" was back (with AJ mouthing the key words) and it's never gone away again.
And SBC Center was outrageously hot last night. We usually freeze to death in our seats, but last night were fanning ourselves to resist the sauna-like conditions.
It was very hot last night and I always feel cold everywhere I go.
It was not a stellar performance by the Spurs but it is always fun to be there.
I don't understand how a sports fan can ever be quiet. No matter how the game is going I can't just sit there. If I'm not cheering for the team, I'm yelling at the refs.
Yeah, me too! The games I went to in Charlotte (1997) and Memphis (2003-04), I was the only Spurs fan cheering and dressed in Spurs attire! I would love to have the priviledge of going to games in San Antonio, whether hot or cold, win or loss. It would be so awesome to cheer in an arena surrounded by fellow Spurs fans!
I envy you all!
I hate when we lose a playoff game and those idiots on the radio blame it one the fans. "They weren't loud enough and that's why we missed free-throws and lost a game". That makes no sense.
It was hot because we got WORKED all night.
What an absolutely pathetic thing to say.Quit complaining about the heat. No excuse. The Boston Celtics fans didn't have AC in the old Boston Garden and they still cheered loudly.
you.
I think the Spurs just wanted to be at home and not playing that day...
It's great to go to the Spurs games, I like to go to as many as possible. I have gone to games at the old arena, the dome and now the SBC.
I can clearly say that the crowds now don't have the passion to cheer anymore unless there is 1 minute left in the game and the Spurs are down by 1.
Why?
1. Because the majority of tickets available are to pricey for the rowdy people?
2. Because the Spurs aren't flashy enough to draw interest?
3. Because the experience outside the game while the game is played is redundant and boring?
What are some other reasons? I think it is quite clear that the crowds are not the same as they have been in the past.
People are es.
I really think that this is one of the main reasons. There is definitely more volume coming from the Club 200 sections. There are pockets of people in the lower levels that are out of their seats, yelling and cheering (section 103 represent!) but there are still quite a lot of people that don't have the enthusiasm that we expect. Unfortunately, I think that this is what may have come hand in hand with winning championships. It has become more of a business than ever and the corporate people are s ing out most of the money. Supply and demand.
Seanson ticket holders are too quiet.
But its pretty mcuh the same thing. Every watched a Miami Heat game from Miami?
How about a Lakers game when Kobe isn't trying to be Michael Jordan?
KWI-IT!
We are??Seanson ticket holders are too quiet.
Funny, me and my fellow season ticket holders around us aren't.
You s out that kind of dough for basketball, you can be as quiet as you want.
If being loud makes you a fan, better not judge LJ.
Dude doesn't even stand for player intros.
I don't even know if he claps when they make a basket!!!
