Go, Spurs!

Spurs.jpg

I have no interest in basketball, whatsoever. But I did just want to cheer a bit for the only team I've ever paid any attention to. I went to a few of their games as a kid, back in the days of George "Iceman" Gervin, James Silas and Coach Doug Moe, and followed them on tee vee and in the papers during the many years when they were just mediocre. So I feel I still have a right to call them my team.

And, of course, I learned to dance the "Cotton-Eye Joe" line-dance because of them. That ought to count for something, especially as having four feet to kick makes it rather tricky.

What about Isaac "Spanky" McCree? Or James "Knickerbockers" Wilson? Oh how I do love that basket-ball.

Nobody could hit that 20 foot bank shot like George Gervin.

Don't forget they're the only team I know in recent history to have two REAL veterans on their team. David Robinson (Navy) and Gregg Popovich (Air Force). Both are grads of those respective service academies
