-As I revealed on yesterdays show, I watched the Jazz-Bobcats game from the Upper Bowl with my daughter’s Jr Jazz team last night.  Overall it was a good experience.  To steal a line from the old Bob Uecker Miller Lite commercials I thought “we must be in the front row” sitting just four rows from the very top.  Now it was way up but we were near center court and I honestly was surprised how good you could see the game.  For instance, from even way up there you could see how crappy the Jazz interior defense is or how wide open they like to leave three point shooters.

-I will say I was taken aback a bit by the divide between the Lower and Upper Bowl Fans on the program yesterday.  I didn’t really notice too much difference except that I didn’t see as many of the dressed to the hilt, heavily invested on body part ladies if you know what I mean up there.  What I did notice however were a fan base that seemed to be into the game pretty intently and a lot more kids overall…then again I was with a Jr. Jazz team.  I also noticed a lot of empty green seats all over the building.  I guess playing the Bobcats on a beautiful pre-spring evening doesn’t draw the fans out.  Couldn’t imagine why.

-One issue however is ruining the sports experience for fans and that’s the time it takes to get a freaking hot dog at the concession stand!  I don’t understand why they can’t hire enough people to serve the masses.  I counted six registers at the stand I went to but only two were open with two lines 20 deep in each.  Meanwhile I missed 15 minutes of the game.  So let me do the math.  If a typical NBA game say goes two hours and you make a minimal two runs to the concession stand causing you to miss 30 minutes that means 25% of your time (or 1 quarter of the game) is standing in line to buy overpriced food and drinks.  I think they should refund fans 25% of their ticket price for missing game action or perhaps just open up all the registers at all the stands and hire enough people to fetch us our food! 

-If you missed Max Hall on the Big Show yesterday (go to audio section to listen) he admitted he’s a lot more comfortable this Spring compared to last year when he was fighting for the job.  He talked about the teams “Quest for Perfection” saying the BCS is definitely a goal he feels they can achieve.  The non-conference schedule is there for the taking.  Washington is definitely beatable on the road while UCLA I think will be a tougher win even though it will be played at home.  Think about it…UCLA almost beat the Cougars in the Vegas Bowl while they were looking for a head coach and playing with their 3rd string quarterback.  You know with Norm Chow now heading up their offense they’ll be much better there and while the BYU offense is loaded their weakness early on will be on the defensive side of the ball.  It also won’t be easy staying unbeaten in the MWC having to travel to TCU and Utah.  An unbeaten season is doable but they will have to play perfect football something they haven’t been able to do quite yet during the Bronco era.

-Judging by the amount of Laker fans attending the Jazz game last week I thought I would include this video/parody song I saw on Extra Mustard today called Laker Rhapsody.  Even if your not a Laker fan I think you’ll appreciate it.
