The boys are back in town!

Long-time readers of this blog will know that our family are big Spurs fans. Some of us are even partial to another Spurs team, but most of the time when we hear that name, we think of our boys in silver and black, our town's only big league franchise.

We've been fans of the team for many, many years. In fact, we remember seeing each and every one of the retired jersey numbers when they weren't retired...


The 2013-14 regular season hasn't started yet, but pre-season has, and we're big enough Spurs geeks to be very excited to be able to attend one of these practice games. Thanks to a friend who passed along some tickets, we were able to see our guys in action in person last Sunday.

And I was pleased at how well some of my pictures of the game came out. Here's a sample:

our great mascot, the Spurs Coyote

big dramatic introduction of the players, even at a preseason game

You develop appreciation for how long a second is when you watch a basketball game

it has been a while...just sayin'...

Oh, I would love to go to a live basketball game! I have a dream to see all the big American sports games live but have only seen baseball so far!

You've seen the best one, then, Mandy, but if you come to SA we'll go see the Spurs.
