This or That, 2016 edition.

[UtahsMrSports]

Some folks who have been here for a while might remember this from previous years. Well, its back and now more politically correct than ever (prior editions were known as him or him). If you are new or don't remember, this is how it works............

I'll start off at the bottom of this message with two figures in utah sports history. The first person to respond picks between them and then gives two more names/teams/inanimate objects for the next poster to pick between. No wrong answers. Debate is welcome. The more creative the better.

To start us off........

Bill Riley or Mike Lagashulte?

Bill Riley.

Rice-Eccles Stadium or the Huntsman Center?

[UtahsMrSports]

Both are two of my favorite places, but ill say Huntsman since it was the site of my favorite moment in ute sports that i witnessed. (Jason Washburn's final home game, beating a ranked oregon team comfortably and watching him celebrate with fans for what seemed like an hour after the game.)

Dave or Joe Kruger?

That one still hurts. That 3 he hit under 2 minutes that somehow hit the front of the rim and bounced up and in instead of short and off still makes me sad. Plus the cheerleaders/mascot fought at halftime, what a game!

[UtahsMrSports]

Tommy since he is still here.

Harold Lusk in '94 versus CSU or Brandon Taylor Crossover, step back 3 to seal the game versus Arizona in 2016?

[Brian]

Tommy Connor or Donny Daniels?

Donny Daniels. He brought a recruit through the research lab where I was and hung out and chewed the fat with me while the recruit was talking to people.
Super nice guy, asked me all kinds of questions about what I was doing.

Field house: indoor track or racquetball game.

[LA Ute]

Harold Lusk in '94 versus CSU or Brandon Taylor Crossover, step back 3 to seal the game versus Arizona in 2016?

Brandon. Got a big monkey off our backs.

[Anywhere but BYU]

If the Utes hadn't choked against New Mexico and Air Force, then Harold would be it hands down. But they did, so . . .

The flashing mountain U or the painted Field House roof?

[UtahsMrSports]

For the field house, I like raquetball.

For the last question, give me the classic in mount van cott, although I do like the new painted on field house roof.

54-10 or 62-20 ?

[Anywhere but BYU]

62-20. Not close. 54-10 was like beating your young children in games. Not really satisfying.

Jeff Jonas or Jimmy Soto? Both as broadcasters and players?

[LA Ute]

62-20. Not close. 54-10 was like beating your young children in games. Not really satisfying.

Jeff Jonas or Jimmy Soto? Both as broadcasters and players?

Soto. Because I know him. A totally subjective view.

Seriously, one of my favorite Ute fan memories was in a basketball game against BYU. Jim got fouled with just a few seconds to go, Utah down by 1, in a one-and-one situation. He was grinning as her went to the line. He loved being in that situation. He coolly sank the first shot, then BYU called time out to ice him. He kept grinning and then made the second shot. Utah won. I love that guy.

I don't remember Jonas well enough as a broadcaster to have an opinion (he was pre-Internet so I could not listen much, living in CA).

Union Building lawn or Presidents' Circle?

Brutal choice. On the surface there obvious choice is Rick 'The Pick' Majerus, and he may have the best chance be successful today. There was never any doubt that he was the smartest coach in the court. I would love to see what he could do with type of players we get today.

But Jack Gardner was a great coach for his time and a better job of treating the players with respect.

Rick on the other hand would have made a tremendous Twitter troll perhaps an insulting celebrity roaster on Comedy Central. He was brutal.
