On Sunday night, the Jazz played a franchise-record four overtime game. Coach Ty Corbin did not choose to substitute fresh legs into the game at critical times and the team lost.
On Monday, Ben Bagley of 1320 KFAN was ready on monday wtih his usual "fans are idiots, they shouldn't question Ty" schtick. Of course, Bagley works for the same group that own the Jazz.
Twitter blew up. Jazz fans don't like being called idiots because they question the head coach during a loss. Jazz fans are knowledgeable and passionate. In high numbers, people turned off Ben Bagley and turned on the alternatives.
As Jazz fans, we thought it would be cool make our own youtube channel where ideas can be discussed without immature name calling.
The response surprised me. This is a list of those who told me that they wanted to participate:
Thought this would be a good forum to discuss ideas and come up with a plan. If anyone else wants in, or if those already in have an idea, leave a comment! lets get this going!

Ill give my take about this......I dont know enough about YouTube to start the channel. I think @RealFansStand mentioned he could do it?
ReplyDeleteI am @realfansstand and I am willing to do whatever we need to get this thing rolling. I have my own commitments for football season, but I would love to do this for Jazz comments.
ReplyDeleteawesome. any chance you could start and run the channel itself? I think you mentioned you had experience in design and what not?
ReplyDeleteI'm totally in. All I can contribute is insight and love. I know some Jazz tweeps have been doing google+ hangouts (video chats with up to ten people). Can you record those and post them to YouTube? that might be the easiest way to do this if it's possible.
ReplyDelete@CanadianBraeden
Yeah, I can set it up and run it. Did we come up with a name?
ReplyDeletei think we are going with "Jazz idiots" but not sure on that.
ReplyDeleteI think maybe a roundtable discussion would be fun (meet up with a few fans).
ReplyDeleteOr have individual contributors. Interviews?
When you want to get into video production and editing and stuff, I can help out...
ReplyDeletethis is @crackalacka22. I'm down for giving insight. I don't have too much experience doing design etc. But I'm a basketball/Jazz junkie.
ReplyDelete@davidwilbur here, this will be fun. I like the google plus idea.
