    This or That, 2016 edition.

    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?

    Rice-Eccles Stadium or the Huntsman Center?

    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?

    Tom Chambers because he lives on in one of the most famous NBA dunks of all time.

    Tim Drisdom or Marc Jackson? (This was a huge debate on utefans back in the day).

    I agree. His effort against Ridnour in the 03 NCAA tournament is a great memory.
    I knew Marc from the time he was a little kid - he could've been a great college football player too.

    Bill Riley and Mark Lions. Actually, I'd rather listen to that pair than Riley Dolce.

    Bill Marcroft's bare ass in a bathroom, or Rick Majerus wearing just a towel and eating pizza in his hotel room?

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
