Confession: I only ever ate the fries. But I would specifically go there for the fries and fry sauce.
Which name do you prefer for our team?

Part of me is glad its gone. It would 100% be something you remembered being awesome as a kid and then as an adult its not nearly as good.
Draper would actually work better with Ryan's preferred names... "Draper Dribbling Yetis." It's gonna be really, really cool. There's going to be a lot of trick shots and acrobatics. It will be like the Harlem Globetrotters. We're not gonna win but everyone's gonna leave being very entertained. There will be bounce houses for kids.
Yeah, I've wondered how many things from my childhood I would actually like right now if I wasn't biased from watching it as a kid. Like I really love The Naked Gun films and Spaceballs... but any kind of new stupid movie post 1995 that's come out, count me out. I wonder if that's how I would have felt about those movies if I saw them for the first time as an adult.
As a kid, I also remember thinking Sizzler was a fancy restaurant. It was my last meal the afternoon I went into the MTC and I finally realized it was garbage. That was the last time I ate there.
Also, someone mentioned Golden Swirl. HOWEVER, did anyone ever eat at Paradise Yogurt, by the Smith's on 1300 East and Sego Lilly in Sandy? It was there up until like maybe... '91 or '92... that was the most incredible frozen yogurt in the world. Absolutely amazing. Golden Swirl tasted like ground cardboard in comparison.
He was "pretty fly for a white guy".

New Orleans would never be able to offer enough for the name back.
Did you know New Orleans only had their team for 5 years before moving to Utah? We've had the name "Utah Jazz" for 45 years compared to their 5. If a Jazz owner ever thought of changing our name, I would question their intentions of even being a "Utah Jazz" fan.

It's just a name and a rather silly one. Nobody really listens to jazz anymore, it has nothing to do with basketball, sport or any idea of competition. This name is hard to graphically represent on the uniforms and merchandize, it is awkward to call the players "jazzmen". Compare it to the iconic bull of the Chicago Bulls - there is no contest whose name is cooler in any conceivable way.
If they change the name you all will whine for a year, totally get used to it after 2-3 years and 5 years later only few old men shouting at clouds will remember and care.

There are so many good names that sound great and can look on the uniforms. The Utah Tigers... Lions...Panthers...Orcas...Owls...Spiders. Any of them is better than the music that was popular 100 years ago in a far away city. Even the Utah Square Dance somehow sounds more meaningful.
