Thoughts and Hopes on the 2009-2010 Utah Jazz

With the Jazz opening their season tomorrow night, the same big question that arises year after year comes up; will this be the year for they finally get a championship?!

I hope so, but in all honesty I doubt this will be the year. There are just too many question about the team. I love the Jazz and will be along for the whole ride but after last season it's hard to tell what we really have. D-Will will bring his game but what about everybody else?

• Boozer. Will he keep his mouth shut and play good basketball that includes playing defense and rebounding?


• Will the Jazz stay healthy? Korver and Miles are both already hurt they can't afford another injury.


• Are they one team or are they a bunch of guys playing ball in contract year?

Right now it's just hard to tell. We really won't know what the team is made until after the big eastern road trip in couple weeks when they take on the Cavs and Celtics. Last year they started off hot going 6-0 until that trip where they dropped four of five games against teams not near as elite.

But maybe, just maybe, this year will be the year though. The Jazz will be a dominate team all season. They'll beat the Rockets, Spurs, and Lakers in the playoffs for some sweet revenge. And then be the team nobody wants to see win as they take down the Lebron and the rest of the Cavs in the Finals. There will be a huge parade on a warm summer's day in downtown Salt Lake City and the governor will declare it a state holiday. It'll be a week long party, fans will be dancing in streets. And most importantly Jerry Sloan will get his title. Maybe, just maybe.

Go Jazz!

Back to the World Series!

I want to write something clever here, something that really shows what I'm feeling, but I can't.. I'm too excited! The Phillies are going back to the World Series! The whole playoffs have been amazing. From Ryan Howards double against the Rockies in game 4 of the NLDS, to Jimmy Rollins magic in the bottom of 9th inning with two outs to save the series from being tied 2-2! The Phills know how to win!

It was last year that I was in LA watching the Phillies win the National League Championship (video below). As exciting as it was to be there live, this is just as exciting to me. I have always been a Phillies fan but it wasn't until last year that I really began to like the team. It was this year, after watching them the whole season, that I began to love them.

They now have a chance to be only the fourth team ever in the National League to win back to back Series. They have a chance to become a dynasty. My favorite team, a dynasty? How awesome would that be?! Bring on those damn Yankees! I can not wait to see how it plays out!

My Love of Sports

I never thought I would be a blogger but for one of my business classes I was required too. Ever since I started it all I really wanted to do is talk about sports on it, not business!

So here it is, my blog on everything sports- The traditions and the rivalries. Eating hot dogs at the game. Watching the unbelievable. The Philadelphia Phillies. Seeing people at their best and their worst. The smell of freshly cut grass on a golf course. Getting the chills when the whole crowd is cheering in unison. Aggie Sports and The Scotsman. Intramural flag football on the quad. The Utah Jazz. The feeling of winning after years of defeat. Talking to complete strangers because they have your favorite teams shirt on... Playing, watching, and discussing. I love it all! And here is my attempt to pass my love on to you!
