It's hard to believe today marks the start of the Jazz's 30th season in Utah.

Time flies when you're waiting for a championship.

Still, it would be a shame to let that milestone pass without looking back at the events that made the Jazz who they are.

With that in mind, I've compiled my list of 10 Favorite Goofy Moments in Utah Jazz History.

May they endure forever — or at least as long as Darren Morningstar lasted with the Jazz.

10. Happy Returns. A little New Year's Eve celebrating and a lot of testosterone led to Bart Kofoed breaking Bobby Hansen's cheekbone with a punch.

It wasn't terribly good for team unity, but it did give meaning to the term "ringing in the New Year."

9. Houston (out of) Control. It was in front of a Houston hotel where Mel Turpin and Carey Scurry went fistic and pugilistic. Legend has it they were razzing one another about their ladies when suddenly trouble erupted.

Oddly enough, neither player showed even a hint of toughness under actual game conditions.

8. Patching Things Up. "What was that?" people were saying during a 1984 Jazz game in Las Vegas.

It was furry, dark and looked a lot like a tuft of human hair on the court.

Turned out it was.

Backup guard Jerry Eaves had tried to cut his own hair in his hotel room earlier in the day, but when his hand slipped, it took a divot out of his 'fro. Rather than shave his head — which wasn't yet in style — he glued the hair back.

All worked well until he started sweating.

7. 'Tag's Teeth/Shaq's Attack. When Greg Ostertag lost his false teeth in a game against Houston in 2001, it was enough to gross out even Jazz fans. His bridgework went skipping across the court, and the Houston trainer had to retrieve it with a towel.

Nice.

Then there was Halloween morning 1997, when 'Tag and Shaquille O'Neal exchanged words after a shoot-around. A couple of slaps later, 'Tag was in the fetal position.

On the bright side, he did remember the cardinal rule of absorbing falls: Always be sure to tuck and roll.

6. Eye-siah Thomas. Until the Knicks paid out millions in a sexual-harassment settlement involving Isiah Thomas, few knew he could be so difficult. But the Jazz figured as much all along.
