Jazz Rowdies

A few weeks ago, it was announced that auditions were being held at the Megaplex 12, which is across the street from EnergySolutions Arena, for Jazz Rowdies: an elite selection of Utah Jazz fans who were the most enthusiastic, loud, entertaining, nutty, and/or mentally disturbed fans out there, or a combination of such - take your pick.

Biz and Jeff gathered a group of family and friends to attend this audition, which took place as the Jazz vs. Clippers game (a road game) was being shown on the big screen at one of the theaters. I was not able to attend this shindig, but from what I hear it was a lot of fun. In fact, Biz and Jeff were both chosen as Jazz Rowdies.

This is my same sister who - flash back to a just a few, short years ago - once called basketball "a pointless game" and said that it was nothing more than "people running up and down the court, doing the same thing over and over again."

I'm paraphrasing, because I don't remember her exact words, but those were essentially the ideas she conveyed. Well, that was before she began dating Jeff, who is now her husband, and these days Biz is a true-blue Jazz fan. Just look at her go:



Biz, Jeff, and the other Jazz Rowdies, according to my understanding, were awarded lower-bowl tickets to eight home games for the remainder of the NBA season, and they will be counted on to provide much-needed energy and support to the Jazz in those games.

In the process, they may also annoy a few of the fans sitting next to or around them. Well, I guess you can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs.

Go Jazz!
