Jazz Game!

On February 27th the Pre-Physical Therapy Club went to the Jazz game down in Salt Lake. Curt worked very hard to be able to get us to meet with one of the athletic trainers for the Jazz - Brian Zettler. It was so much fun - and we were even on the JUMBO-TRON! ALL OF US!! Lucky section 110. We even got to see the Jazz Bear help some guy propose to his girlfriend - just a little word of advice, if you're going to propose maybe spring for the more expensive seats and not the upper upper upper bowl.Brian is going to be a great connection in the years to come. We got these little backstage passes and got to go sit court side after the game to talk with him about his career and how he got there. He took us by the team locker rooms and in the 'underground' area - although we didn't get to go IN to the locker rooms (heh heh), we did see some of the players walking around down there.

Brian felt bad that we weren't able to see everything around the facility, so he offered to give us a tour of Energy Solutions Area and the Jazz training facility if we set up another appointment with him. He is such a great guy. Next year the club definitely needs to take advantage of this 'hook up' because Brian is more than willing to give us VIP status and show us everything the Jazz have to offer.

It was SUCH a good game and such a great experience. We played the Pistons and ended up winning 103-95. Don't ask me how we pulled that one off - we were down by 18 at one point! ...But I guess all you can say is...GO JAZZ!
