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!

Oooh, sorry about the game but there's nothing better than a night out, huh?
It totally stunk that they lost. The whole night I kept thinking they gotta win so I can be vindicated in wearing this jersey all night and putting up with people's crap. Oh well, I had a complete blast anyway.
I loved this post, and it's about time! We can't get a lot of Jazz games in Az, but I'm sort of glad I missed this one, cause it's always so sad when they lose. But I'm glad you and Kelly got to go, and ball game nachos are the best! Your pics are cute, and in spite of the Jazz losing I hope you had fun. They'll redeem themselves in the playoffs!
I'm glad you guys had fun anyway. It looks like you had pretty decent seats also. Like you said you have to get used to Jazz and their win/lose streaks that they go on
I went to a Jazz/Blazer game in Utah when I was at BYU and boy did the Jazz fans give me crap the whole time! It was tons of fun.
Sorry they lost...but I am sure it was still a fun date night!
Is that a picture of the players?...or was Kelly taking a picture of the cheerleaders?
Love your self portrait! The Jazz are sucking it up but at least you got to go and have some yummy nachos!!
