Grant and I saw the Utah Jazz play the Portland Trailblazers at the Rose Garden (or is it the Rose Quarter? We're confused ...) last night. The tickets were my big surprise for Grant for Christmas this year. It was a blast and so much fun to see in person. By the end of the evening, however, we did learn that we are true-blue Jazz fans, though we tried to be very polite guests at the Blazers' home court. Thanks to the very funny young men sitting next to us in our nosebleed seats (literally the top row of the arena ... hey, we're law students after all), we also learned what "Rip City" means and why the fans started chanting for chalupas near the end of the game. The Jazz did pull out the win -- 106-95, which made us happy but left a lot of Portland fans pretty ticked at the refs. Needless to say, we tried to lay low but still had a great time cheering on our home team.

Told you we were literally on the back row!

Looks like a fun night!! You two are so cute!
It was a fun game, wasn't it?! We were on the second from the top row on the exact opposite side of the arena from you guys. We had a lot of vocal Blazer fans all around us, so our cheering for the Jazz was on the quiet side.
Fun stuff! Don't tell anyone but since I have been driving around my father-in-laws car while ours is in the shop I came across his stash of free Chalupa coupons in the glovebox today (he goes to a lot of Blazer games). I snagged a coupon because I have not been to Taco Bell in ages. It was as equally gross and tasty as I remembered :)
It's about time there's another "divided loyalty" fan in the fam. Not that Tom minds being alone. But you know what they say - Two's Company!
