Some of you may not know, but I am a very proud (and borderline obnoxious) Texas A&M graduate. From the age of 5, I was constantly draped in the the maroon and white every where I went. With core values like respect, loyalty, and decency, I quickly recognized what made being a member of the Aggie family so special.
Strangely enough, it took me a little bit longer to recognize there was another team near and dear to my heart that holds a similar set of values: the San Antonio Spurs.
My first full year of Spurs fandom started back in 2002.
