NEW FEATURE

This is the completion of an idea that started about five years ago. Dan Hoock, a Gates Chili alum, stellar first basemen - the relay on a 9-3-2 assist from various baseball teams of our youth- and an Orangemen, had the idea that we should email each other back and forth, holding court on various topics of the day. While I was a freshman, toiling away in the cramped confines of Boothroyd, two gentlemen from the ROC attending college in seperate Central New York cities started the adventure. Everything went well, I even ended a couple of emails with a "Whatever happened to...?" which SI and USA Today up and ran with. One of the people who I wondered about was John Kruk. Any coincidence that The Best Damn Sports Show picked him up and later ESPN? Fuck no.

Maybe the star-making responsibilities were too much for me and navigating Marshall Street too much for Mr. Hoock. The emails stopped but something better, more epic, grandiose has taken it's place: The Blogspot revolution will be seen at this site and:

The intial offering from Dan is as follows:

So here's two questions to get us started. 1) Let's say somehow you are stranded on a desert island. Let's also say you have pretty much every luxury available to you, within reason of course , but use your imagination (Beers, BBQ, sporting equipment, preferably good-looking females, aged 18-25), BUT........there is obviously no radio signal on an island in the middle of nowhere and you were only able to take 3 CDs onto the island with you. What would they be?

2) In each of the four major sports, who has been the best clutch/go-to athlete of our television watching generation (90's-'05)?

I'm going to let this epic leadoff offering marinate while I go to the Distillery and watch the Spurs and Nuggets.
