A Great Weekend for Sports

Here I am again writing in my blog after a great week.  This week has been great.  In the sporting world, however, this week has been even greater if you are a BYU or Utah Jazz fan.  First, let me start with the Utah Jazz.  The first word that comes to mind when thinking of their last 4 wins is "miraculous."  The team has been on the road for the last 4 games.  They started down in Miami where they played the Heat who proudly boast their "Big 3."  They then traveled north in the same state to take on the Orlando Magic.  From there, they traveled a bit east to battle it out against the Atlanta Hawks.  And then, just last night, they were in Charlotte playing against the Bobcats.  The amazing Utah Jazz won every single one of these games!  These aren't just any teams, but they are the best teams in the Eastern Conference, and we beat them in their own arenas.  I love the Utah Jazz!  What is even more amazing is that we were losing by double-digits in the second half of each game.  The persistent and hard-working Jazz players continued to fight and never gave up.  They always came back to win the game.  The most impressive come back I have seen was against the Heat.  At the end of regulation, Paul Millsap scored 11 points in 28 seconds to send that game into overtime.  Incredible!  Secondly, BYU's football and basketball teams both were victorious in their games.  The basketball team defeated Fresno State 83 to 56 in Provo.  The football team defeated Colorado State 49-10 in Fort Collins.  I am proud to be both a Cougar and Jazz fan!
