MSUThrowers:  If you could step in to the shoes of any professional athlete who would it be and why?

Jay:  Mark Spitz.....I'd like to look that good in a Speedo.

MSUThrowers:  If you could meet one person who would it be and why?

Jay:  That's easy..... Homer Simpson of course. 

MSUThrowers:  Hey but he's a cartoon.

Jay:  Hey, it's my column, I'll say what I want.

MSUThrowers:  Jay, if given the opportunity to participate in a covert operation in Northern Afghanistan would you?

Jay:  What's a covert operation? Oh wait a minute, Isn't that where they turn a man into a woman?

MSUThrowers:  Ummm, next question.  Jay, if you could be a vegetable, which one would you be?

Jay:  That's a tough one but I'd have to say an orange! 

MSUThrowers:  What type of goals have you set for yourself this year?

Jay:  230' in discus, 72' in shot, 270' in javelin, and 250' in hammer.  I don't think that's unrealistic.  All I need is a Brian Oldfield Starter Kit.  (wink wink)

MSUThrowers:  C'mon, be realistic, What are your real goals?

Jay:  To be able to provide quality insight and answers to questions of real significance in my "Ask Jay" column. 

MSUThrowers:  That's all for today.  We'll see you next time.

MSUThrowers:  Our first question this week comes from long time reader and first time writer Brent C. of Normal, IL.  He asks, "Jay, What is the hardest part about being you?"

Jay:  Hmm, wow, that's a tough one....but I would have to say it's the overwhelming majority of gorgeous women that constantly harass me about going out with them.  But, sorry ladies I have nothing but a tunnel vision commitment for my girlfriend Amanda.  Another tough part about being me is finding a comfortable pair of underwear (I'll leave that one to your imagination).  Finally, the toughest thing about being me is trying to find a decent hair dressing.  I've always been a Dapper Dan man, but here lately they've been out.  I've had to go with Paul Mitchell sculpting gel.  It's got a great hold and it's bio-degradable.

MSUThrowers:  Brent C. also asks, "What do I do about an annoying beaver that continually gnaws away at my foundation." 

Jay:  Brent, you've come to the right place.  I happen to be the foremost authority on beavers.  Having years of experience with beavers makes this an easy question to answer.  First you've got to examine the beaver.  In order to get rid of it you've got to figure out how hairy and thick the beaver is.  This way you'll know what kind of critter you're dealing with.  Next, you've got to have a big gun.  The bigger the gun you have then the easier it will be to deal with the  beaver.  Next comes the fun part.  It's time to put the gun to the beaver.  After this, it won't be around any longer.  Last, but definitely not least, you can sit down and enjoy your trophy beaver.  You can look at it, mount it, or eat it.  I find nothing more enjoyable than eating a beaver.  Thanks for your question Brent. 

MSUThrowers:  After several complaints and much controversy, mainly with Jay's girlfriend, this week's ask Jay will be a little more conservative.  So let's get right to it.  Jay, if you had a million dollars what would you do?

Jay:  I'll tell ya what I'd do man, two....oh wait, better not go there.  Uhh, I guess I'd uhh, let's see here...uhhh...uuhhhh.  I'd donate half to Murray State Track & Field, (There ya go coach Elliott) and the other half to the Christian Children's Fund.  (Sally Struthers made me feel like crap after I ate that all you can eat seafood buffet.)  

MSUThrowers:  yea, so would we...haha  So anyway, Jay, what are your plans for after college and how do you plan to attain them.

Jay:  That's an interesting question.  I haven't heard back from law schools yet, but if I don't get in I hear they're hiring a new janitor at the RSEC.  If that doesn't work out, I'd like to give that Chippendale's thing a try *wink wink*.  Either that or underwear modeling.  What do you guys think?

MSUThrowers:  Don't quit you're day job (that is if you had a job!!)  Jay, what are your best words of advice for the upcomming conference championships?  ...and remember no coaching here.

Jay:  Well, with that said, I guess I don't have any.  Well, I'd just like to wish everybody luck in the 2003 Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Championships.

MSUThrowers:  We were talking about track...

Jay:  Oh, in that case...throw far, and don't suck.   Thank you for your questions

MSUThrowers (and even Jay) would like to wish everyone the best of luck in the upcomming OVC Indoor Track and Field Championships.
