Title: For the first time ever, I'm rooting for the Sperms.
Post by: B E C K on Jun 10, 2007, 09:55:02 PM

Er, I mean, the Spurs.   ;D  I've never cared for basketball or the Sper-- Spurs, always gleefully cheering for the other team.  I'd just like to see the Cavs get creamed handily this year.  Then this annoying notion that this city matters because our team won another stupid championship or whatever can come and go quickly.

Not even people who watch basketball care. (http://www.hoopsvibe.com/nba-blog/lebron-james-cleveland-cavaliers-san-antonio-spurs-unappealing-to-fans-in-game-one-ar44064.html)

I'm irritated by that comment that calls our city a "small town" when we're currently the seventh largest fucking city in the country.  But I do know that we definetely don't have a big city feel.  And because the city is so wide, developers build out instead of in and up, making the skyline pretty weak-suck.  I think if we steal that big glowing ball-thing from Dallas, half of our problems will be solved.

Huh, San Antonio.  The SBC's meeting there this week.  I should go one of these days.

Just FYI, the Alamo's smaller than it looks on the postcards.

But don't worry...the precentage of the population that doesn't speak english is just as advertised.

And what would that be?

2 games down, 2 to go.  It could be done very soon.

If they win, will you ride around the streets sitting in the passenger seat window of a car wearing a jersey?  I didn't give a shit about the Rockets, but that part was fun.

No, but I'll revel in the joy of the normal banality returning to this city three games sooner.  SA was in "Last Comic Standing".  Did anyone see?  Shamefully, I have never been in that comedy club in my life.  I should probably go sometime.  Meh.

Sweep!  Guess Cleveland doesn't rock so much any more.  Celebration this Saturday.  Then next week, life goes on.

Spurs wing and no one outside of Texas even notices.

You'll have to forgive me, Missouri doesn't have a pro-Basketball team and we have take Chicagos sloppy seconds.


Oh well...we do have the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals. So I'll live.

If it doesn't involve an oblong ball and a gridiron, I'm not interested.

Mmmmmmm, Spurs wing.  And people notice.  Just not that many of them.  Har har.  Cleveland sure noticed as they booed when the Spurs got their weird trophy thing.

Well they're crying because Texans love their football and we can't get a pro team here, nor do we have, like, a high profile college team.  SA is taking what victory it can get.

You could just back Dallas or........not the Oilers.......the Texans! That's it.

The last pro team called the Texans wound up in Kansas City and starting calling themselves the Chiefs.  So historically speaking SA has a chance of catching them on the rebound.

And Ironicly...when I watch Football, I watch the Chiefs. The circle is now complete.

Right now it's mainly Dallas Cowboy country here.  I like the colour scheme at the least.  Merla can't believe Troy Aikman reminds people of Mark Hamill.

Ah, if only Mark could throw a ball like he swings a light saber....

Indeed.  Such a pigskin would represent a more civilized age.

Plus it's not as clumsy or random as the other footballs.

And it cuts through the Sith and other players like a knife through warm butter.
