Fair weather Spur fans popping up out of nowhere

[Blake]

I imagine that preachers have a mixed amount of emotion when Easter and Christmas roll around each year. They are happy to see the pews and the offering plates fill up, yet are also perturbed that a large number of these people are just here for their semi annual penance and won't be seen again until the next holiday.

I think these people have the intention of coming to church on a more regular basis, but when most Sundays roll around, something comes up and they put God on the back burner.

But thanks to the Easter and Christmas visits, these people can still honestly come in and claim that they they've been a real Christian since 19--.

Does all this matter to God? I don't think so, but I can see how it would piss off the church faithful.

I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that it is great to see a bunch of you guys/girls that I haven't seen in a long time but screw you for only coming to church once a year.

Good point - I know that I read a ton of threads but don't feel like posting since there is such a prevalence of talking and -baggery in general. Kinda like high school except with a sense of anonymity.

A high post count means not much to me. I just feel life in general takes precedence over this site. It is not puzzling for the lurkers (such as I) to come out of the woodwork, we are fans too. I remember the dark days and appreciate these better ones.

I guess its human nature to talk a little when things appear to be going well and this team is dominating...

I applaud you full time posters who treat this kinda like a second job. I am on here plenty reading all of your insights as a collective...

Thank you for the entertainment!!

Well I am offended with this garbage.

How can you compare worshipping God to Spurs fandom?

One offers a way to be nearer to God, to taste more of what life has to offer, to experience an awakening or a communion with the universe and all the love in it.

The other is a bunch of hypocrites wearing robes who get a monetary handout on Sundays.

isn't that plagiarism?

[BlairForceDejuan]

Maybe said fan is just trolling the people that take such serious offense to it.

I properly attributed it to myself.

[Obstructed_View]

being a fan requires posting on a message board.

True fans will post all year long.

Even if it's posting something bat crazy like ” where are all you popsuckers at?” at least they are here.

[Whisky Dog]

In a related note, does that dark skinned Latino guy who has sat right behind the tv commentators for what seems like every Spurs le run post here?

I know there is a compliment in here somewhere.

Some of the best cucks are fans too. True fans. Of what-I don't know.

I wouldn't know.

How neat that you do.

[vander]

if the Spurs become bottom dwellers after TD retires, I'll probably stop paying attention

[Marcus Bryant]

Cute thread.

you bored me. This thread sucks.

Solid work, Nancy

[easjer]

Eh, I'm on maternity leave and have a bit of time here and there between pumping sessions when the baby is sleeping to read/post. I don't have time to post at work, have a high pressure job and spent the entire regular season in a high-risk pregnancy which commanded more attention than posting on ST. SFIE kept me updated on anything of relevance and I watched what games I could.

Fan =/= posting on ST.

[Strange Botwin]

As far as i'm concerned, if you are 27 years old or under, you by definition are a fair weather fan. You've never known the Spurs to suck. It's not your fault...it's just a wonderful byproduct of luck, talent and community.

But you are a fair weather, junior....
