It took some time



It took some time to get over the way the Jazz let me down to finally post about it. Just kidding! Even though they lost we still had a great time. Thanks for a great Christmas present, Kelly!

I ended up catching a ride in with my friend Darilyn and her friends so Kelly didn't have to come all the way home just to turn around and head back. We had fun getting ready and wearing our Jazz gear for all to see.

I met up with Kelly under the Pepsi sign, where he discreetly changed into a Jazz shirt and hat and we were on to the Rose Garden. We stocked up on nachos with extra jalapenos and a soda to share...we had awesome seats, but they were in the middle of the row and we didn't want to tick people off by having to move for Jazz fans:)

The game started off bad and got worse from there. Technicals got Jerry and Boozer kicked out of the game. The refs? Stinky! (of course that's what a Jazz fan will say!) I know this next comment will set back the feminist movement; but can women refs just stay in the WNBA? Thank you.

I had family and friends from Utah texting me throughout the game, like I had inside information as to why they were playing so crappy...The Blazers couldn't miss and the Jazz couldn't make a basket to save their lives. When that happens you lose!

Oh well, they made it to the playoffs and I just hope they start playing better. Maybe they've been saving their energy for when it really counts?
It's not always easy to be a Jazz fan, but hopefully, someday, it will be worth it!
