Associated Press journalist Dan Alexander dropped by the "studio" to talk about life as a budding sports journalist. We learned how a 7th grade detention and wise mother (redundant?) serendipitously led to his interest in sports writing, and why he's "willing to be hungry" for a couple years to pursue his passion for journalism. He told us about his undying love for all things Ohio State University (not hard to root for a team that manages to replace a legend like Tressel with Urban Meyer) and reveals that he still has to restrain himself from acting like a little kid in the press box when he's covering live games. Although he doesn't get the byline, sources (i.e. my gut and Dan) have confirmed that these ESPN articles were written by Mr. Alexander. Also, do yourself a favor and check out the great feature story he did for the Brown Alumni Magazine on the 1986 NCAA tournament-bound Brown basketball team. That's our boy putting in another late night at the Brown Daily Herald's headquarters and making sure the campus gets its news. Get lost in his blue eyes while catching up with the totally awesome Dan Alexander!  Guest: Dan Alexander Source of Awesomeness: Sports Journalist for the Associated Press Favorite Team: Ohio State University anything Audio: http://ia601207.us.archive.org/6/items/DanAlexanderIsTotallyAwesome/Yta_ep.18DanAlexander.mp3
