(Too Much?) Power to Influence

by Casey Jacobsen When I was a boy, all I wanted to do was play sports with my friends in my suburban neighborhood of Glendora, CA. I was tall, but not huge. I wasn’t fast, but not slow either. I could jump well, but that was by “white boy” standards. And although I come from...

What was your first Spurstalk post?

Or for you older people, SR or whatever was before that? Mine was on why Casey Jacobsen would be a good pick in the 2002 draft. Truth is I didn't know **** about the guy, I just wanted to fit in. My first Spurstalk post was a SpursWoman happy birthday message. :toast
