Tiago Has Seen the Website!

Awesome news! I sent a message to Tiago last night asking him if he had seen WeNeedTiago.com or not. He replied, "Very nice the webpage!!! Thanks!!! Best regards" to my Twitter via Direct Message.  How incredible is that?

 

This guy has won my heart already. I don't even care if he averages 1 pt and 1 reb (reverse jinx), he's my MVP without even him signing officially yet.

 

This made my summer so far.  Only one other thing can top it.

This is awesome. Would have been nice if he hinted yay or nay in regards to him joining the team. But you’re so lucky for this to have happened.

Don’t worry. I already asked him. I’m not sure if I’m going to get a reply or not though.

Haha, I doubt he can really say anything explicit about it yet.

you should’ve told him something like: If you’re joining the Spurs, don’t respond to this message.

Well as of right now, he hasn’t replied to me. Probably on purpose because I’ve sent it to him TWICE.

He’s been talking about soccer and making weird references that my American brain cannot wrap around.

I know how you’re feeling, I too have conversed with a pro athlete.

I talked on myspace to Nnamdi Asomugha, pro bowl cornerback for the Raiders (yes I’m 100% sure it’s the real Nnamdi) for like 10 minutes. He’s a very fun guy to talk to.

I also got a sup from Georgeous Hill.

I was about 95% sure that if CD started the site, then Tiago would see it before any decision was final.

This is great stuff, and just what we could have asked for.

I would love to see Tiago Tweet
“Cant wait for us in the pick and roll the new Malone and Stocketen.”
Okay maybe im getting way ahead of myself but all signs are pointing to Tiago finally coming and I cant wait for the draft because by then it will tell us if Splitter is coming or not.

Manu was on local news tonight, when asked about Splitter he said he saw him play for Brazil a few years ago but heard he has improved a lot. Didn’t sound like they were best buds or anything.

Well done CD. You realize, if you keep this up, PtR is going to require you to get in contact with all potential and current Spurs and give us all updates on them throughout the off-season.

And that is one thing twitter can give you good.Good for you.Hope he cares about coming here.If TS can read this,then other spur might too right?

If Splitter becomes a Spur and in his press conference says seeing the website made my decision to become a Spur easier. That would be so coo CD! You De Man

by spurlover on Jun 23, 2010 9:18 AM CDT reply actions  

That would be pretty cool.

But I think we’d prolly settle for a rumor that he’d told someone in the FO that he’d seen it and felt wanted and welcomed by the community.

I was talking to Pop’s third cousin the other day and he said that he heard from Pop’s second cousin that some kind of page in a blog was the last thing Tiago needed to decided to make the jump to the NBA.

jrw, maybe saying “cool as f5g” isn’t exactly a stamp of approval from alamobro?

You know I hate to correct people (ok, not really) but I think what he actually said would be properly represented by “cool as f2k” if we used The System on short expletives, which doesn’t seem to happen at all.

Perhaps a refresher would be in order.

Also, I think it would help if we had a name for this system: just calling it The System, seems a little lacking.

Sadly, I still don’t get The System. We might need to conference call on this.
