Seattle is right.
In related news, the Utes never really went to the the NCAA finals because that was a decade ago already. It basically didn't happen....in another 5 or so years this will be especially true.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Dan stole my answer. My freshman year at the U was 1997-98 (the Final Four run) and although I didn't have the means to go to any playoff games, it was a great season with many events around campus.
Throw in an LDS mission and my senior year wasn't until 2004, and you know how that went in football. Attended the Fiesta Bowl.
As an alum in 2008 I traveled to five road games, mostly paid thanks to my job having work available in those areas. Attended the Sugar Bowl.
Experienced those moments firsthand. Was a part of it. Occurred in my era.

The Lakers have 9 titles to the Celtics 4 titles during my era.
It isn't even close!
Lakers #1!Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Seattle is right."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Originally posted by Eddie Jones View PostI was on my mission in 97 and 98 so in my mind the Utes never made the NCAA finals or the Final Four. The Jazz never made the NBA Finals. And better yet, Clinton never had sex with that intern.
What would you rather have, a Jazz NBA Championship in 1997 or a Western Conference title this year? If the banner in the Delta Center is what is really important to you, or the trophy in the case, and not the experience itself, then so be it.

Originally posted by TheBYUGuy View PostI'm pretty sure that Brother Jones would have liked the Lakers to beat the Jazz in 1997. As for me, I'd rather have NBA championship banners for the Jazz than Western Conference champ.
