GO SPURS GO!
It really is, but in a different way. I was born and raised here and I have seen the growth, but it is a big city with a small town atmosphere in sooo many ways. My husband and I both graduated from the same high school, Thomas Jefferson High, which is a historical landmark. My kids can not get over how we run into people all over town no matter where we are, that we graduated with or that we have grown to know in our adult years.
I can not imagine living anywhere else since both sides of the family also still live here. Plus with a class act like the SAN ANTONIO SPURS, ssssshhhheeeshhh, we got it all. haha
Thank you oh so very much, nutmeg!
And Robert Horry looks like Will Smith.

Check out the last census... I "think" San Antonio is now in the top 10 of biggest cities in the U.S. In fact, I just checked and it is #9. Number 10 is Detroit!

No funnier than Green Bay winning a Super Bowl.
Gangsta-ball season is finally past.
Plano, right?
NOT ROBERT HORRY!!! I can't stand that guy!!!
NBA basketball has been a joke, even a worse joke than the NHL for 20-odd years; a league that tacitly encourages its referees not to enforce League rules. Travelling, turning the ball over, and so forth, and ignoring basic human demographics: in 1893, the average height of an American male was 5' 2.25'', and Naismith set the basket at 10'. Today, the average height of an American professional basketball player is 6' 7.5'' ...and the basket is still at 10'.
Yawn.
Enjoy if you must; some folks like to eat raw octopus and/or inhale absinthe, too. De gustibus and all that.
Congrats to the Spurs! Great organization!
I get to Texas about once a year and I have family there. This past December, we went to the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio to watch our beloved Buckeyes play. I agree with you 100%. When I got back here to Columbus, I encouraged just about everyone I talked with to take a trip to San Antonio. A lot of Buckeye fans felt the same way too. The Riverwalk is something else, truly a unique site. Lots of other things to do in and around San Antonio. I have to admit that while I was there, I did get a major urge to escape, errrr, leave Columbus for San Antonio.
On behalf of all Ohioans, thanks for beating a team from Michigan!
And not a moment too soon for my tastes, either.
people on here really need to stop talking about detroit like that,
the series was fixed anyway,after all,NBA cant make any money off the pistons,thats why every NBA promo has SPURS on it
Almost double the size of Boston and actually larger than Dallas. San Antonio is Texas's second largest city.
Ginobili and Horry were both great in game seven, but Duncan put the team on his back in the third quarter after they were down nine.
Try Boston at 589,000....
" And the third largest in Texas."
SA took over the #2 spot in the 2000 census moving Dallas to #3.
Well, Detroit has 1.8 Million in the 50's. Most left in the late 1960's and early 1970's.
Yes. In another 10 or 20 years, it will probably drop a few notches in the Metroplex rankings.
DFU...this should provide insight to the tower... http://www.lib.utsa.edu/Archives/Manuscripts/ms31.html
