The First Show!

By Bill Cobb

Today marked the first airing of Cougar Chat, the R.O.C.U. Clark Athletics Radio Talk Show. I was joined in studio by Max Bogaert and Chris Wiklund, while Jim Callahan called in to report live from Arizona where he is with the Patriots as they prep for the Super Bowl this Sunday. Due to some technical difficulties the first few minutes of our show was cut out, but once the ball got rolling, it all went smoothly. In this week's show:

• Recaps of all the Cougar action, including the women's basketball double-overtime loss to Coast Guard Academy on Saturday, the men's basketball defeat at the hands of MIT, and the men's and women's swimming and diving teams' successful campaigns at the Holy Cross invitational.
• Previews of the upcoming games of the week, including women's basketball facing conference foes Springfield and Smith on Wednesday and Saturday at the Kneller, men's basketball traveling to Babson, and the swim and dive teams heading to Coast Guard.
• Jim Callahan called in to talk about his week with the Patriots in Arizona and Media Day with both teams.
• Max, Chris and I provided our own insight to the Super Bowl match-up, going over the questions regarding Tom Brady's foot, a Giant amount of vomit on a plane, and our Fearless Predictions for the final score.
• Max gave insight to the Celtics' loss of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen and brought up the apparent end of discussions for signing Damon Stoudamire.
  
• Chris discussed the trade between the Twins and the Mets involving perennial All-Star Johan Santana for four prospects. Max and I chimed in with our own thoughts about the effect on the Red Sox and Yankees.

Overall I'd say our first show was a great success. We all enjoyed the experience and hope you'll all join us next week and every week, Tuesday nights at 9 PM. Join us next week when Jim returns to the studio with all the coverage of the Super Bowl straight from Arizona, and of course all your Clark Cougar News!
