It’s so funny trying to explain to an out-of-towner what it means to go honking after a Spurs win. It’s something that’s so ingrained in our culture, it’s almost second nature at this point. Best believe I was out there Sunday afternoon joining the long line of cars honking Downtown. What an exciting time to be in SA!
