i cancelled my first date with a new girlfriend just to watch a spurs game!
Vacationing in Uray, Co in 2003 - no chance of a TV; through my Avalanche into 4 wheel drive, and headed UP a trail to the top of the Rockies - to pick up 'OAI's signal & hear Q4 Game 6 of the finals.
"Where did you have to go to find bread?"
And
"How'd the truck get so dirty?"
I was a diesel clerk at Loves travel stop a few years ago. During the playoffs I was working nights. The manager had been letting me put a radio on so I could hear the games (usually at night, its very slow at a diesel stop, truckers are usually already asleep in their rigs).
For whatever reason the manager turned into a little and wouldn't let me put the radio on for the game after the Horry hip check, I asked a few times and then asked for an explanaion why I couldnt put it on and never got one so I said it, and quit on the spot... went home and watched the game.

I didn't attend a very important wedding in order to watch the Lakers-Spurs game last week.
And I am sure that I made a very good decision that day.
Here in Australia, the Spurs games start usually at around 12:30 PM.
Haha, I was at a wedding at a hotel right before that game. The room we had the reception in was right across the hall from the bar with the game playing on the biggest screen. As soon as I finished the catered dinner I dipped OUT that !
How do you have a girlfriend you haven't gone on a date with yet? Are you going to hit it for the first time after the divorce?
I was in the hospital for 3 days and was worried that I would miss a playoff game between the spurs and the suns.
I had the nurse reel in a tv to my room. Thank God it was on local tv.
In 2005 during the finals against Detroit, I quit my job the night before Game 7 because my boss was not allowing me the following day off to watch the game.
It was just a part-time grocery job I had while studying, but still, very much worth it
My su ion is that if alamo50 is still around and pops into this thread, he's going to win.
lol why's that?
When I was travelling monthly, I bought a Slingbox, $250 to watch Spurs games in some San Diego hotel.
I've spent way too much money in sports bars, too much beer, too much ty food (that fried whole onion grease pile in Outback?Smarter now) to watch Spurs games when away from SA.
I lassoed a Bengal Tiger, drugged him, and smuggled him back home to Texas. He awoke to find a saddle on his back. I rode him through the streets of backwoods East Texas, stopping at every third juke joint, and charged the locals 5 shillings apiece to hear me play my guitar and sing songs of the Dark Ages. Once I had enough money, I engaged the services of a crack and had unprotected sex with her. Just so I could see the Spurs/Pistons game 5 on her small B&W tv.
oh wow... well my story's nothing compared to most of these... well i left everybody at work hangin to go watch the mavs last week... didnt do like even half my job... idk, that's my craziest lol
Ha. Quit your job so far is the winner. I cancelled a date with a girl too.
I didn't quit a job, but a coworker once got 4 free tickets so he told me to come with. I was closing work. At his suggestion, I closed my photo lab down early, told the store manager the machine was broken and we'd have it looked at in the morning, told another guy to cover me because it was dead anyway, and left with 2 coworkers and another former coworker to the game.
The next day I found out my department got a huge rush and lots of customers were angry. The friend with the suggestion, my boss.
i watch bthe game on my phone while driving
Man, that's just wrong
And his name is Trainwreck...hahaha
Live drove straight through from Philly where I lived at the time to see them play in the finals vs. Detroit game 5 (after the Spurs had been blown away in games 3 and 4) and paid several hundred dollars for some scalped "nose bleed" seats and peering through some binoculars saw Robert Horry's big game winner. Horry had not only the game winner but 21 second half points but this game should not have been close as TD who had been brilliant otherwise with 26 and 19 missed 6 straights FTs and a bunny putback that would have won the game in regulation for the Spurs. Manu was brilliant for the Spurs as was Billups for the Pistons and the Wallace "brothers" were blocking shots all night like crazy. It is still one of the most exciting games I have ever seen in person and the Piston fans were just crushed at the end. Drove half way back on a high from the exciting game and I recall I was able to pick up 1210 radio accross the miles before stopping for some rest.
TV= got up at a bizarre hours to watch them in St. Petersburg Russia in the lobby of a hotel with a couple of Russian serious fans of the SAS when on a public health trip there for 2 games in a row. Sadly that did not end as well as that was the year the LAL hammered the Spurs in 4 straight after I recall Derek Anderson went down and the Spurs just could not score enough against a very talented LAL team.
I committed arson.
no different than some cow putting on her makeup and driving. Besides i perfected my technique during the world cup this year
busted nuts after 5 mins to catch the 1st quarter :p
My first date with my husband WAS a Spurs game. lol
